Hairstyles Tips for Glasses Wearers - Continued
<< PREVIOUS PAGE
Small-Framed Eyeglasses:
This is currently the most popular set of style in eyeglasses. The lenses are usually just large
enough to cover the eyes themselves with frames that are delicate and unobtrusive. These eyeglasses most often look best on
petite women
with narrow or smaller faces, and is also a popular choice of
style for those who only need glasses under specific circumstances (such
as while reading or driving) because their size makes them easier to carry than large, bulky styles.
When it comes to choosing a hairstyle, the concern with these styles of eyeglasses is in making sure
not to 'box in' the facial features, which makes the face seem even smaller and can result in a bookish appearance. It's best to go with
styles that fit the face and head in question and offer enough visual interest to make the eyeglasses a secondary consideration. For
example: A short-cropped, wavy, gamine haircut will highlight the face but leave it open, while the classic, chin-length bob will
create a frame of the face and therefore feature the eyeglasses. It will also cause the face to appear smaller.
In the case of non-petite women who choose small-framed eyeglasses, the same rules apply, and the
face-framing bob haircut still would not be a good choice. However, longer, blunt haircuts with or without volume (depending on the
face's width) can be wonderful.
Switching to contacts from small-framed eyeglasses will likely not have much of an effect on how you
might need to style your hair, except perhaps to allow you to go with less volume if desired.
Finally, do bear in mind that these rules would also apply in the case of sunglasses. In fact, in a
lot of cases women spend as much or more for their designer sunglasses as they do for their prescription glasses. If you have both
sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses, and they are of different styles, try to think of ways you can alter your hairstyle to follow
the rules for the sunglasses' style, obviously without a permanent change. Outdoor parties, trips to the beach or amusement parks, etc.
all warrant long periods of sunglasses wear, and thus a need to possibly alter your normal hairstyle to look your best.
