Glasses for Men with Grey Hair
First things first, we all go grey, no need to panic!
Whilst some of us rock that George Clooney look, others can be a little self-conscious of the change and wonder if we need to dress any differently now we're entering a different era of our lives.
Never fear! Here's my guide on what glasses suit men with grey hair.. enjoy!
Before we get started, here are two main things to remember:
1. As long as you're wearing the colours within your season, these colours are still going to suit you, even as you get older, even as your hair goes grey, even as those wrinkles develop. As our natural skin and eye colouring doesn't change. (If you haven't had a colour analysis done before, I highly recommend getting one done, as it can really help you to choose a colour with confidence, so that you can invest in colours that truly suit you and make your skin look as youthful and radiant as possible).

2. Whilst the base tone of our skin may not change over time, I do find it can fade slightly, just like your hair. So some darker colours can look bolder against your skin and create more contrast than it used to. Decide if you'd like a bolder or more understated look, as
this will impact which colours of glasses are going to work better for you.
Glasses for a Grey Hair Man
Now I personally am of the opinion that eyewear that works with our natural features is far more complementary than anything else.
I recommend focusing more on eyewear that may draw attention to your eyes, than to your hair colour.
Choosing colours of glasses that match your hair colour, especially as it fades, can wash you out. As can rimless frames, particularly as we age.
So I would focus more on your eye colour, and face shape when choosing glasses than I would on your hair colour.
What Colour Glasses for Grey Hair?
If anything, I feel like as we age and our hair does go grey, that a little bit of colour can lift you.
Now it depends on your base skin tone as to whether that would be warmer or cooler colours, brighter or more muted, lighter or darker.
However, I am one for recommending a touch more colour the older we get, to help us look more radiant and full of life.
What glasses suit men with grey hair?
The best glasses for men with grey hair will depend not just on your hair colour, but more so on your skin tone, eye colour and face shape. Look for frames with a full rim that fall within your season and draw attention to your eye colour. However avoid rimless, semi-rimless or washed out colours as they will simply age you.
