How to Wear Reading Glasses With Style
Extra! Extra! Read all about how to wear reading glasses with style!
Readers have been a necessary part of my life for a few years now.
At first, I was not too happy about it. It reminded me of the time in 8th grade when I came to school with my brand new glasses. I walked into study hall and realized that the school librarian had the SAME glasses. For an 8th grader, this was a social travesty!
Fast forward a few years (quite a few!), and you will find me embracing my readers with enthusiasm!
But how to wear them stylishly?
Face Shape
Take a look in the mirror and check out the shape of your face. Here are some tips on the reading glass shape that will most compliment your face!
- If you have an angular face shape, consider readers that are round or oval to add softness. A rectangular frame might negatively exaggerate your angles but a cat-eye shape will give you immediate style!
- An oval shaped face can wear pretty much any shape but might consider avoiding an oversized reader. Depending on how oversized it is, it can overpower your face shape.

- For a round face, glasses that are rectangular, square, or round will work best for you. (Yes, round on round works!) Strangely, an oval shaped reader can make your round face look rounder!
- Faces that are diamond shape look best with round or oval glasses. Square or rectangular shapes will fight the natural angles of your face.
Let your personality shine!
Just like the clothes in your closet, color and pattern in your readers are a fantastic way to express yourself.
You have to wear the reading glasses…so make them a fashion statement!
Look to your closet to guide you in the colors and patterns that you lean toward.
Buy reading glasses that are in those colors and patterns. Then…
…buy a pair that is the complete opposite of what you usually wear. (Gotta shake it up sometimes!)
This photo shows the same readers from above. Black on the front but the sides sport a fun plaid pattern in neutral colors.

Ok, sometimes you want a party everywhere…including your reading glasses!
Color and pattern takes centerstage with these blue, pink, and white stripe reading blue ray reading glasses!
To add to the party, I chose to wear them with a striped sweater! Stripes with stripes? Oh yeah!

Solid colored reading glasses don’t have to be boring!
These are possibly one of my favorite readers because I can wear them with patterned tops. Also, they have an amazing beveled edge that gives the rectangular shape a modern edge.
These readers are actually part of a set of 4 that I ordered from Amazon. The set includes the same glass shape in black, red, clear, and tortoise. These are my FAVORITE READERS!
You can see this Set of 4 Readers HERE.
Here they are in red…
Same glasses in the solid clear color. (Or, non-color, that is!)
A pair of clear readers will be your most versatile pair as they will go with everything! Additionally, wear them with both casual and more formal outfits.
I will list this Set of 4 Readers again since they are my FAVORITE! You can see them HERE!
Happy reading with clarity and happy styling with your readers!
Cheers!
