Buns and updos with glasses: to clear the face and highlight the look

Upswept hairstyles are ideal for formal events. They are also the most comfortable for busy days, because they clear the face and keep you fresh and radiant while doing your chores.

Combining your glasses with buns or updos will give you an air of sophistication that never goes amiss. Plus, the updo puts the focus on your look and the frame that frames it.

Let's take a look at 3 hairstyles you might like:

1. Ballerina bun

This is a neat bun, similar to what ballet dancers or military women wear. When doing it, make sure there are no loose or untidy hairs. To do this, while styling the bun and after it is finished, run a comb over the scalp. You can leave a line in the middle or cover it completely with your own hair.

This hairstyle is perfect for formal or elegant events. The best thing is that if you haven't had time to wash your hair, a ballerina bun will hide it perfectly and make you look chic at the same time.

This hairstyle goes well with small and sober glasses, like the LAFONT Casanova 006W 47. It also looks great with glasses with oversized metallic frames, like the Carolina Herrera HER 0209 PEF 56 model.

2. Casual bun

This chignon gives a more relaxed style, so much so that it is also known as a "tousled chignon". If with the previous chignon you avoid leaving loose hairs or loose strands, with this one you are looking for the opposite, as the idea is to favor volume.

Doing it doesn't require too much effort: just gather your hair into a high or half-up bun without too many qualms. You can give a more "tousled" finish by carefully loosening a few strands.

This hairstyle with glasses with large frames or bright colors will give a bold touch to your outfit. A couple of designs with these characteristics are the ETNIA BARCELONA BRUTAL NO.26 BX 54 and the Bottega Veneta BV1215O 005 50.

3. High tail

This hairstyle is perhaps the simplest that exists and yet the plus it gives to the outfits is undeniable. To make a perfect high ponytail you should have your hair a little below your shoulders, otherwise hairs will come out everywhere and it will be impossible to hold them.

You can make the hairstyle look polished and sleek by using a scalp comb and running a flat iron along the length of the ponytail. And, if you like volume, some waves will help you achieve it.

The ponytail adapts to different styles: from urban outfits to formal and elegant attire. Likewise, it goes well with all types of glasses. That's why we recommend combining them with eye-catching glasses, like the Gigi Studios ASHIRA 9 51 model, or more discreet ones, like the Tom Ford FT5949-B 050 56 design.

Semi-updos and loose hair: glasses stand out and so does hair

When you want to show off your hair, it is best to wear it loose. Straight, wavy or curly, letting your hair move freely adds style without having to do anything. However, if you want to make a bit of an effort to look flirty, you can lightly gather a few strands to create a half updo. The freedom that these hairstyles with glasses project will make you feel self-confident.

Let's take a look at some variations of loose hair and half updos with the glasses designs that best complement them:

4. Loose hair with waves or curls.

This is a hairstyle for girls with glasses and long hair and also for girls with glasses and short hair. If you have a natural wavy or curly mane, great, just let it fall freely and that's it. If your hair is straight, you can use a special machine to make waves or use the traditional rollers that do not require heat.

Loose hair with waves or curls looks good with any type of glasses, but with the havana or tortoiseshell makes a combination of impact. The Miu Miu MU 01XV 19P1O1 50 and the Versace VE3320U 108 56 are two havana examples to go with a firm step wherever you go.

5. Smooth loose hair

Sleek loose hair is another hairstyle to wear no matter your haircut. It's an opportunity to show off the beauty of your mane, either naturally or with the help of a flat iron. This type of hairstyle with glasses gets a plus if you have bangs, because it frames the look.

Glasses of all colors, materials and shapes look harmonious with loose, straight hair. But if you want to stand out, we recommend taking a look at the Ray-Ban RX6489 AVIATOR 3086 55 and the Matsuda MXMF1.RX.MIG.39 design.

6. Half updos

Semi updo hairstyles have become very popular with the coquette fashion, and they give a tender and delicate aura to the wearer. There are many types of half updos and you can hold them in different ways: with clips, bows, clips, braids, tails and so on.

Cat-eye frames, like the Miu Miu MU 03XV 2AZ1O1 53 and the Christian Roth RINA CRX010, are perfect for these hairstyles.

As you can see, there are many alternative hairstyles with glasses. Choose the ones that make you feel more comfortable with your style and the frames you wear.
