Some people are hesitant when they have their eyesight checked and hear that they need to wear glasses because they believe they will create an aging effect. This is especially when glasses are necessary due to presbyopia or eyestrain. There is this widespread idea that if you need glasses to read up close, you are getting older.
It is not the glasses that “age” the face, but, on the one hand, the stereotype that older people wear them and, on the other hand, choosing unflattering glasses for your face and style.
But what if we told you that you can choose glasses that rejuvenate? At Manha Eyewear we have the best models at the best price, and we can guarantee that we will find the perfect style of rejuvenating glasses for you.
How to choose glasses that rejuvenate?
Choose the shape and color well:
To choose glasses that achieve the effect of rejuvenating your face, it is important to choose them well. There are several criteria by which you can know which glasses suit you best. The main thing is to know which glasses shapes are most suitable for your face. The color of the glasses is also important and one way to decide is to choose the glasses according to the color of your hair, although the color of your eyes and your skin tone also have a considerable influence.
Have more than one pair of glasses
Buying more than one model of glasses is common, for practical reasons. In case a pair breaks or is lost, you always have at least one spare. It is also advisable to always have smart glasses with prescription lenses in the car if you drive regularly, so you don’t have to remember to take them with you and have them nearby in case of unforeseen events.
However, having more than one model is not only necessary, but it also has an aesthetic effect. If you always wear the same glasses, the result is a monotonous look. People around you end up perceiving your appearance as aged. For this reason, one of the best ways to achieve a look that rejuvenates you is to have more than one pair and vary it. You can adapt the different frames to your different dressing styles and wear glasses for more casual looks and others for more formal looks, for example.
Stay up to date with trends:
Both trends in sunglasses and trends in prescription glasses will help you achieve a more youthful look. There are times when “retro” looks are in fashion, but keep in mind that styles are always updated and adapted to the modern era. Avoid those models of glasses that “grandma would wear” and opt for shapes and models that are flattering but fashionable.
Rejuvenating glasses for people over 50 years old
As you may have already deduced, there is no single model of glasses that rejuvenates all types of faces. However, we can give you some ideas if you don’t know where to start looking.
Cateye or cat-shaped glasses frames are very flattering for women’s faces. They lift the features and the look, reduce possible wrinkles, and are also associated with an elegant, refined and very feminine style.
In the case of men, rectangular glasses are always a great choice. As our age advances, the skin loses elasticity and round features become accentuated. A rectangular frame will contrast with the more curved lines and will give you a more modern and updated look.
Both male and female faces should avoid aviator-style glasses since, although they can offer a youthful appearance in combination with the complete look, the shape of the lens accentuates the loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin, giving the cheekbones a more fallen air.
Regarding the material and design of the frame, when it comes to stylizing lines, metal will always be more effective. However, this material does not offer as many possibilities in terms of fun or risky colors and patterns and tends to offer a more serious and adult look. For this reason, the glasses that rejuvenate the most are plastic frames, but with thin designs.
Of course, these are just suggestions. As we have already mentioned, each face is different, as is each personality. In the end, the glasses that rejuvenate the most are those with which you feel better and more comfortable.
