Let’s accept the fact that we all want to age like a fine wine, just like Paul Rudd. We can hardly believe he’s over 50 now, he still looks just as youthful as Josh from Clueless! While ageing is natural, there should be no pressure on anyone to look a certain way. But we all have those insecurities about our appearance after we cross a particular age. This is why we eat foods and dress accordingly, which helps us look younger.

If you want to look like you’re in your twenties, do it. But don’t forget that one accessory will be your best friend once you cross a certain age, and that is reading glasses. You will start to struggle with near vision after the age of 40, and you’ll find yourself shopping for them. However, if someone tries to sell the fact that glasses make you look old, then don’t fall for it. If you shop for the right pair of glasses, then they make you look even younger than your age. And to help you with that, we are here with this blog!

1. Thick Black Glasses

Thick Black Glasses

Known as geek glasses, boxy black frames or chunky glasses, these are the perfect pair for almost all. And, recently we have spotted many people wearing a pair of these. Due to the big frame size and striking black shade, it will take attention away from the lines and wrinkles. If you have a round face shape, then these are wardrobe staples for you, but that does not mean others can’t carry these. Also, the large lenses will give you a wider field of view and aid your vision.

2. Round Glasses

Round Glasses

Round glasses are timeless and vintage. These glasses are a trendsetter every year, and most of us swear by them. As you get older, your skin loses plumpness, and your face appears thin and bonier. Round glasses are perfect to give balance to your thinning face. And, if you have an oval or square-shaped face, there is no way you can miss having these. They’ll make you look more graceful and expressive.

3. Colourful Glasses

Colourful Glasses

The colour of your frame helps to express your personality and character traits. With age, skin starts to appear pale and colourful frames could make a world of difference in how you look. Go for turquoise, rich magenta or rich blue frame glasses to appear energised and young. Whatever colour you pick, it’ll shape people’s perception of you. Red frames will make you come across as someone confident, and yellow or other earthy tones will make you look inviting and warm. While there are several other factors to consider when choosing the right frame colour, you are better off with dark colours.

Cat-eye glasses signify femininity and sensuality that is loved by almost all. The bold shape catches the attention, while the upswept edges lift your face to make it look younger. This particular eyewear style helps to make a huge fashion statement and works on several occasions, such as a business meeting or a romantic date. Styled by the most iconic divas of all time, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, cat-eye glasses are available in a variety of colours and design options.

Tips to Choose Glasses to Look Young

Other than frames, there are certain other things that you must consider when choosing glasses to look young. Stay with us and explore how to look young and confident at any age.

  • Opt for Lighter Frames: Materials like metal, stainless steel and acetate are lightweight and look extremely stylish. With these frames, you don’t have to worry about looking old.
  • Go for Bouncy & Short Hair: Be it men or women, choosing hairstyles that are short and bouncy offers playfulness to your overall look. Therefore, we would suggest ditching those old sleek looks and opting for this.
  • Go for Lifting Accessories: If you wear anything, be it a necklace, earring or frame that is too downward directed, then it will make you look old. Whereas accessories with upward edges and directions will look great.

Final Words

Are you also sick of the same old style? Wondering what’s the best deal to knock a few years off your appearance? If yes, then make sure you give these glasses a try. While they won’t take you back to your twenties, they are ideal for highlighting your best facial features and tricking people into believing that you look young for your age. You can get these glasses online from Specscart and enjoy free lenses with anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch and impact-resistant coatings.
