Glasses Trends for Women Over 40: Colors, Shapes, and Styles To Try
Gone are the days when a plain black pair of glasses was the default for everyday wear. With today’s variety of shapes, colors, patterns, and styles, your frames can do more than correct your vision—they can elevate your look and show off your personality.
Chances are you already own a classic black pair, so why not add something fun, edgy, or unexpected into the mix? Think bold colors, playful patterns, chic frame shapes, or even a surprising color combo you wouldn’t normally choose. With so many options out there (and plenty of retailers offering discounts when you buy more than one pair), it’s easier than ever to build a small “glasses wardrobe” you can swap out to match your outfits and change the vibe of your look.
Here’s a round-up of some of the trendiest styles I’m seeing right now—complete with models styling them so you can see how they work in real life. Plus, most websites now offer a virtual try-on option so you can see how the frames fit your face before you buy. If you’ve been playing it safe, this is your sign to have a little fun with your frames!
