7 May 2024
November is nearly over and we can almost hear the festive bells calling us as we get closer to Christmas! It is that time of year when we start to think about and plan lots of exciting Christmas parties and events. Are you all set to glam up for memorable evenings filled with dazzling entertainment and festive fun? Look forward to making memories with family, friends and colleagues. Whether you have yet to plan your outfit or you already have a show-stopping ensemble (or two) in mind, make sure you also have the perfect pair of glasses to match your incredible hairdo.
Turn heads when you enter the room with our inspirational tips on how to style your hair with glasses. Remember to keep in mind your face shape and choose glasses that suit your personality as well as your natural sense of style.
Men’s hairstyles that suit glasses and are perfect for Christmas parties
There are so many male fashion icons and celebrities that wear glasses and have their own distinctive style that it can feel overwhelming when trying to decide what you should go for. Do you tend to make classic fashion choices like Leonardo DiCaprio or perhaps you love Jason Momoa’s distinctive wardrobe? Whatever your preferred look, there are plenty of ways you can style your hair to complement your choice of glasses in preparation for all the upcoming Christmas celebrations.
Be iconic with your Gatsby hairstyle
If you are a retro lover at heart and plan to look dapper with a slicked-back, Gatsby-style hairdo at one of your many Christmas parties this year, we would recommend a retro pair of round tortoiseshell glasses. This timeless style never goes out of fashion and will give you a handsome and intellectual look. It’s simply ideal for a festive get-together. Wear these glasses with jeans, a t-shirt and your favourite winter jacket for a casual catch up during the day then transform your look of an evening and pair them with a stylish tux. You’ll easily look as suave as 007!
Show off your long locks
Men that wear glasses and have long hair can experiment with several different style choices. Depending on whether you plan to sweep your hair back in a tidy man bun, are keen to show off your well-groomed dreadlocks or you have naturally wavy curls that sit naturally on your shoulders, a pair of trendy round glasses will draw attention and highlight your features well. Wear your hair down for a rugged party look or tie it up for a more formal occasion! For men with long hair and glasses, we would recommend any timeless design from thick statement-making acetate frames to simple vintage metal styles. It all depends on the finishing look you want to achieve and what suits your unique features!

Look trendy with a modern quiff
Popular amongst many celebrities, a quiff gives any modern gentleman a bold and trendy look. There are many variations of this haircut. The most recent is characterised by its closely cropped sides and back which develop into a thicker, more prominent sweep of hair on top of the head. It’s a popular style among trendsetters from curly and messy quiffs to side-parted hairstyles and of course, the retro pompadour. To complement your look, we suggest you go for a pair of black designer glasses. We have chosen a classic design by Polo Ralph Lauren which will complement your hairdo perfectly and give you a show-stopping movie star look.
Flick your fringe to one side
A side-swept or angular fringe is a very trendy way to style your hair, especially for social gatherings. A sleek pair of rectangular glasses with a flat top will sit nicely under your fringe and give you a fresh and stylish appearance. Coordinate the colour of your glasses to match your chosen suit and tie at Christmas parties. Look handsome and sophisticated no matter the festive occasion. This particular frame from HART comes in a crystal green which is ideal for this time of year.
Look neat and tidy
For men who have closely cropped hair, you’re free to make as much of a statement as you want to when it comes to the glasses you choose to wear at special events. For example if you have a buzz cut, your hairstyle is stylish and understated so you are essentially working with a blank canvas. The choice is yours whether you want to go big and bold or keep things simple. Try a pair of metal Aviator glasses which will naturally suit your military-style haircut whilst giving you a smart and confident look. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something more toned-down, we would suggest a chic semi-rimless designer frame that has an understated shape but with a recognisable design that others will notice from the iconic branding. Look smart and approachable at your next Christmas event!
Women’s hairstyles that suit glasses and are perfect for Christmas parties
Delight your fellow partygoers at a special event with your fabulous hairstyle and a glamorous pair of glasses to match. There are so many fashion-savvy female celebrities who look stunning dressed to the nines and wearing glasses whilst posing for photos on the red carpet. The real question is, do you consider yourself a glamour queen like J.Lo or are you a statement-making rock chic like P!nk? Inspire your look and find the best hairstyles that suit glasses.
Look classy with your hair tied up
Tie your hair in a ponytail or dazzle your guests at Christmas parties with a classic 60s-style hairdo. Create a glamorous look with a contemporary edge simply by choosing a frame in a bold pattern. A refined and elegant updo paired with attention-grabbing frames is a great way to pull the focus to your eyes. Go wild and choose an eye-catching leopard print frame, like this gorgeous design by kate spade new york.
Wear a playful colour with your pixie cut
Show off your bubbly personality with a pair of large metal frames. A pixie cut or short hairstyle is perfect for women with glasses. When it comes to deciding on which vibrant shade to go for, try to match it with your eye colour, your outfit and the colour scheme of the event. The frame we have chosen from our London retro range radiates festivity with its blend of warm green and gold tones.
Show off your bouncy curls
If you have curly hair or your hairdo has tons of natural volume, go for a playful pair of cat-eye glasses. Opt for a brightly coloured piece of eyewear that has an elegant vintage shape. Acetate glasses are very on-trend at the moment and are loved for their versatility and stylishness.
Achieve the ultimate geek-chic
Do you have a fringe? Depending on whether you have a traditional cut or modern curtain bangs, a thick pair of glasses is ideal. Look sophisticated in your finest party outfit with a pair of chunky square glasses. This kind of look is perfect for formal events and social gatherings, especially if you want to demonstrate your confidence.
Jess Day who is the star of the hit show New Girl is a perfect example of how you can ace this smart and sassy look! This classy design by Jimmy Choo will suit your bangs perfectly. A classic black frame with pin detailing, it adds a touch of glamour with a beautiful sparkle detail.
Look natural with long, straight hair
Let your hair fall naturally into place or simply straighten it if you need to. This way of styling your hair is fairly low maintenance as it requires little preparation. It will look perfect with an elegant evening gown, jewellery and glasses to match the aesthetic. We have selected this frame which is part of our own collection and comes in a vibrant crimson-red colour. We’re not sure about you, but for us, it certainly has a real festive vibe!
