Brighten your look with festive colours
When it comes to Christmas, nothing says “festive” quite like bright red and green. These iconic colours instantly bring to mind twinkling Christmas trees, glittering decorations, and Rudolph’s famous red nose! So, why not stick to tradition with deep pine green or crimson red frames to match your Christmas party outfit? These hues are vibrant, flattering, and brimming with festive cheer.
Feeling bold? Mix and match both colours — try a green dress with red frames or vice versa — for a daring look that’ll turn heads at every celebration.
Add glitz and glamour with metallic frames
If sparkle is your thing, metal frames and glasses with shimmering details are your go-to festive accessory. Think gleaming golds, silvers, or rose gold accents — perfect for catching the light (and a few compliments) on the dance floor.
Acetate designs with sparkling metallic accents bring subtle glamour and instant elegance to your festive party look. For a subtler touch, choose slimmer gold or silver metal frames that complement your outfit without stealing the spotlight. Enjoy your time to shine at your next holiday party!
We have a wide variety of eyewear styles at Glasses Direct. Many of our prescription glasses feature unique temple detailing and soft metallic accents, adding that extra festive flair.
Rock the dance floor in retro glasses
Retro is having a real revival — and we’re here for it! From bold 60s and 70s shapes to extra-large square and round frames, vintage-inspired styles are a guaranteed showstopper this Christmas.
Oversized glasses ooze personality and confidence, while geometric frames channel that funky disco energy that never goes out of style. Pair yours with sparkly fabrics, flared trousers, or a velvet blazer for a look that’s unapologetically festive.
So, pop on your favourite retro pair and get ready to rock around the Christmas tree in true throwback style!

Rimless styles beautifully frame your features and let your makeup shine through, while subtle metallic arms add just a hint of glamour. Pair them with sequins or a glittery top for a chic contrast between simple and sparkling.
Makeup tips for glasses wearers this Christmas
No festive party outfit is complete without the perfect makeup to match! While glasses can add a little extra challenge, they can also enhance your look in the best way possible. So, forget contact lenses, here are our favourite ways to make your festive makeup and glasses work together like magic.
✨ Achieve a beautiful winter glow
Highlighter is your best friend. Use gold or Champagne tones to accentuate your cheekbones and add radiance beneath your frames. Pair with a soft pink blush for that healthy, just-back-from-the-snow look.
💋 Get your lips mistletoe ready!
Nothing says Christmas like a bold red lip! Choose a classic cherry or deep burgundy and pair with red frames for a coordinated party look. Want to stand out? Go for a forest green pair instead for a chic contrast.
For a professional yet fun party look, tortoiseshell or black frames pair perfectly with any festive lipstick shade.
🌟 Look glam in glitter
‘Tis the season to sparkle! Add gold or silver glitter eyeshadow to make your eyes pop behind your lenses. Apply a natural base shade first and use a damp brush to lock in that shimmer all night long.
🎄 Add festive colour to your eyes
Warm tones like gold, bronze, and green are ideal for a Christmas glow, while silver and berry purples flatter cooler skin tones. This year’s trending shade, Pantone’s 2025 Mocha Mousse, makes a subtle, on-trend base.
Swap your everyday black eyeliner for plum or emerald — a fun way to bring a little Christmas magic to your eyes.
💎 Shimmer and sparkle
Feeling extra festive? Add tiny crystal gems or glitter accents to your makeup look — just make sure your frames complement your design and don’t hide your artistry. Rimless glasses are perfect for this!
Quick makeup tips for glasses wearers …
Use a magnifying mirror to apply makeup if you can’t see without your glasses.
Avoid heavy foundation on your nose to prevent smudging your frames.
Curl lashes before applying mascara, focusing on the roots to prevent lens marks.
Match your makeup tones with your frames, or contrast them for extra flair.
Keep brows tidy and shaped to balance bold frame styles.
