The Best Eyewear for Your Hairstyle
We all know that glasses, while an essential tool for correcting our vision, are also one of the most immediately-recognizable accessories we wear. That means picking out our eyewear is about more than just our prescription. We have to consider frame materials, face shape, lifestyle, seasonal color palette, and hair color, among other things. Given how many factors go into picking our next pair of frames, there’s one that’s often forgotten. Our hairstyle!
Just like glasses, the length and shape of our hair is one of the first things people notice about us. And just like our face shape, our hair can be a helpful determing factor in figuring out which glasses look best on us. Today we’ll take a look at the best eyewear for a variety of different hairstyles.
Women
Short Straight Hair
Also known as the “pixie cut,” one of the great benefits of this hairstyle is that it leaves your face wide-open for all sorts of interesting styles. In order to make the most use of this wide canvas, consider opting for big, interesting frames, like these large glasses from our Smart Staples Collection

Long Curls
If you’re lucky enough to have long, curly hair, cat-eye frames are a great option for you. Their pointed design draws attention up to your lovely locks. Grab these frames from bebe in black if you prefer your glasses sleek and simple, or nab them in rose gold for a fun, feline design.

The Topknot/Bun
Like the pixie cut, one of the great benefits of a bun or topknot is that it fully exposes your face, serving as an excellent opportunity to show off a glamorious pair of glasses. Choosing the right styles of glasses for this haircut will largely be determined by your face shape, but no matter what you choose, why not pick this opportunity to highlight a pair of designer frames, like these gorgeous, golden Gucci frames?

Men
Short or Shaved
If your response to “what’s the best haircut?” is something along the lines of “the one with the least hair,” then you should look for eyewear that is just as minimalistic as your hairstyle. These slim, no-nonsense glasses from Nike should fit the bill.

Slicked-Back
If you tend to prefer the greased-back, vintage-inspired look, then your glasses should feel just as retro. Few glasses are as timeless as the rockabilly-inspired look of these square glasses from Ray-Ban.
