With age, glasses become a real style accessory with rejuvenating power. You still have to find the cut that highlights them.
Wearing glasses at 60 has never been so chic. Today, they sign a style, a personality, an allure. But for the effect to work, the hairstyle must interact with the frames, not compete with them. At this age, the face changes, the features become refined, and the cut plays a key role in maintaining freshness. As hairstylist Delphine Courteille recalls, “you have to adapt the hairstyle to the morphology of the face, the texture of the hair, but also the glasses.“An imposing frame with too dense hair mass can harden the face, while a flat cut erases the structure of the eyes. Glasses frame the top of the face, so it is essential not to overload this area. Moreover, the expert advises avoiding thick bangs or compact volumes: “Light, wispy or slightly asymmetrical bangs work well with glasses.” The secret lies in lightness and mobility. Hair should accompany the face, not hide it.
Certain icons perfectly embody this natural elegance. Inès de la Fressange, with her blurred bob and thin glasses, proves that you can maintain a Parisian look effortlessly. His secret? Soft, slightly layered hair that lets the eyes breathe. Stéphanie de Monaco played with bold cuts for a long time before adopting softer and more harmonious styles. These women remind us that at 60, style does not freeze: it becomes refined, it becomes simpler, but loses none of its character.
And precisely, the ideal cut to highlight glasses at 60, according to many hairdressers, is the structured pixie with soft locks. Neither too short nor stiff, it clears the face while maintaining movement. The slightly longer top adds volume without adding bulk, while the nape and temples are clean, leaving room for the temples of the glasses. This modern, easy-to-maintain cut gives a natural lifting effect. Delphine Courteille also recalls that “ with age, we lose density “, and that a well-calibrated short cut immediately restores dynamism.
The pixie can be infinitely personalized: you can soften it with a tapered lock or give it character with a movement on the forehead. The main thing is to balance the volumes and lines of the glasses. If your frames are thick, choose a light, textured cut; if they are thin, a little more material on top will harmonize the whole.
And above all, remember to take your glasses to the hairdresser: he will be able to adjust the cut according to the shape of the temples and their position on the face. Worn with the right cut, glasses soften the features and add a real boost of radiance. At 60, they become the most beautiful rejuvenating accessory.
