Before even considering the question of hairstyle, the glasses are chosen according to the shape of the face. It is above all a question of softening and balancing the proportions of this one, thanks to adapted glasses. Thus, if the ideal shape of the oval face is able to support everything, this is not the case for the rest of the morphologies. To each their own form of glasses!
If you have a round face, for example, prefer rectangular or cat-eye shapes to lengthen the face and break its roundness. Square faces, on the contrary, should lean towards rounded shapes. Cat-eye frames are suitable for triangular faces. A thicker upper part is able to counteract the pronounced build of the face.

After choosing a suitable glasses shape for your face type, you can finally think about choosing a short haircut. Why especially short! Because with age, hair begins to lose its former shine, density and capillary strength. For this reason in particular, we will naturally recommend short and tapered cuts which do not require too much effort, nor too special care. However, giving them a bit of volume, subtle waves, layering them or adding bangs will give these cuts back their femininity.

Then, with regard to the glasses, our main care would be to adapt the color of the frames to that of the hair first. Secondly, the general rule says that you should not let the glasses take over the cut, nor the reverse. So, it is again about finding the right balance between hairstyle and glasses. Overly sophisticated shapes and designs are likely to distract interest from the hairstyle. Moreover, if you find your cut a little too simplistic, you can give it some charm with a nice pair of eyeglasses with a colored frame or an unusual shape.
Contrast frame with the whiteness of the hair
With a pair of glasses that are a little too classic, we advise you to prefer a more dynamic fit. The short gradient is thus very appropriate. This will create volume and movement on the sides. The hair would appear more dance and this would give you a more youthful look. Here is a trick to avoid the "grandmother" look that some glasses tend to give.
Short layered and very feminine cut
The pixie cut is also an ideal cut that tends to look younger. Prefer it as short as possible, in order to have enough hair mass to experiment. Feel free to backcomb the top and wick the mane for an even younger look. If your cut is a little more simplistic, opt for a modern pair of glasses instead to give your hairstyle a modern and funky edge. However, you could dare a polar white short pixie and black frame if you want to look professional.

If you want to keep some lengths, opt for a short square cut. It is the perfect choice for women who would like to sport an elegant and more feminine side. With such a cut, however, we do not recommend extravagant designs. An elegant frame would go perfectly with such a type of haircut. The plunging square is also a very romantic option that gives unparalleled finesse.

With glasses, remember to clear the forehead, at the risk of overloading the face. Nevertheless, in case this one hides some wrinkles, you could opt for a wispy fringe. It is able to hide, but without covering too much. The little docile side that the fringe gives, also takes away a few years. We recommend the asymmetrical version on the side of the face, Lady D style, to emphasize your femininity.
