Understand Your Glasses First

Before you move ahead and dig into different accessories, take some time and understand your stylish glasses. Here are some things you need to check in your stylish glasses: 

• Frame shape: Glasses come in different styles like square, rectangle, cat-eye, oval, round, pilot or geometric. 

• Frame material & colour: Check if the glasses you own are made from acetate, metal, or wood. Also, understand the pattern, it is tortoiseshell, marble or pastel. 

• Lastly, check if your stylish glasses fall under the category of bold or understated.

Once you understand what they bring to your face, you can choose other elements so that glasses flatter your face and do not bring your look down. 

Jewellery: Match, Contrast, or Balance

Now, let’s move forward to another aspect of accessorising, which is jewellery. It is extremely important to pair the right pieces of jewellery with your glasses so that they tie your look together.

Shape & Proportion

• Creating a balance is essential, so if your glasses are chunky and bold, then pair them with delicate pieces of jewellery. Go for small studs, thin chains, and simple rings. That way, the glasses remain the star.

• Whereas, if your glasses are subtle, then you can pair them with bold accessories. You can pair glasses with larger earrings, layered necklaces, or bold rings.

Colour & Metal Matching

• To achieve a more cohesive look, pair gold-toned glasses with gold jewellery only. Whereas, pair silver glasses with similar jewellery to maintain the overall balance. 

• If your frames are multicoloured or feature accents like tortoiseshell, marble, or similar, opt for jewellery that falls within the same tones. It will bring the whole look together. 

Jewellery Type & Position

• Earrings: Earrings are one of the most sought-after pairs of accessories. Big earrings and big glasses can work together if paired correctly. A smaller or mid-size stud would be a more versatile choice. 

• Necklaces: While considering a necklace, you need to keep in mind the neckline. For example, if you have a high neckline, you can skip a bold necklace. You can add oversized bold frames in that case. If the neckline is open, layered or statement necklaces can add interest. For glasses, you can keep them on a subtle side.

Hairstyles: Framing & Function

Hair is a crown, and it frames your overall face; therefore, it’s important to choose the right haircut. Here are some of the top hairstyles that work beautifully with glasses. 

• Bob/Lob (Long Bob): It has clean lines that offer scope for glasses to show off. Works great with rectangular, cat-eye or oversized glasses. 

• Pixie Cut: This one is short, confident and low-maintenance than others and looks great with bold frames or frames with a lot of detail. 

• Side-Swept Bangs or Curtain Bangs: They look flattering with different frame styles. They soften the forehead area and let your stylish glasses take the centre stage. 

• Long Layers & Waves: Perfect hairstyle for those who want something that adds movement and softness to their overall look. Waves or textured layers will balance out the strong lines of the glasses. 

• Updos/High Ponytails/Messy Buns: These will let your glasses take the front seat as they keep the hair away from your face. They not only look clean and tidy but also work perfectly in hot weather conditions.

Practical Tips & Common Pitfalls

Here are some essential tips you must keep in mind while balancing out different elements in your outfit. 

• Always understand that less is more. You should balance out everything because if you go overboard, it can ruin your look. 

• Make sure to test all elements of your look in natural light, as they can change slightly in colour when exposed to sunlight. 

• You must ensure that your accessories are also aligned according to the time of day. Go for minimal things during the daytime, and you can go extra when it’s nighttime.
