Older and fabulous: Stylish Glasses that Make You Look Like a Younger Self
As you age, there is one accessory that becomes part of your day to day life and can shave off years of your look – the eyeglasses .
When it comes to style and fashion age really is just a number and your aura, sophistication and elegance can be highlighted with the right pair of glasses. If you are an older woman who loves to stay stylish, you can turn your eyewear into a fashionable accessory that will transform and enhance your look, instantly. And, of course, will make you look younger!
Here are some tips on how to choose a youthful frame and some eyeglasses examples:
- The type of frame should match your face size and shape and also rest comfortable on it. Avoid glasses with a downward sweep, like aviator style glasses, as it might create an illusion of a sagging face. The last thing you want is your cheekbones to look looser than they really are.
- Depending on if your face is round, oval, or heart shape , you will find certain shapes of frames more flattering. For a full guide of frames and face shapes, you can visit our article on choosing glasses according to your face shape .
- Upswept eyewear like cat-eye glasses or upper half rimmed glasses can work wonders on your face and cheekbones, they visually lift the face skin to make you look younger.
- Rimless frames are actually not such a good ide a if you want to cover your wrinkles and baggy eyes. Instead opt for oversized frames that drag attention from the things you want to hide and give your look a refresh.
- Always choose colored frames that look good with your coloring. Look for frames that reflect your softer skin, eye, and hair color. If you don’t feel ready to go for a bold color like red, blue, green or black look for shiny or lighter frames as they will work just as well.
- Progressive lenses , sometimes called “no line or invisible line”, lenses provide a more youthful appearance by eliminating the visible lines. Check out our progressive lenses developed with Digital HD Freeform technology – the best and most advanced on the market.
