Are you over 70, wearing glasses, and thinking that there’s no short hairstyle that would suit you? Well, think again! While it’s true that finding the right hairstyle when you’re wearing glasses can become quite daunting.
The good news is there are plenty of short hairstyles for over 70 with glasses that you can choose from. If you wish to know which hairstyle to go for, keep reading!
Which Hairstyle Would Work Well with Your Glasses?
One of the biggest considerations you should keep in mind is the type of glass frames you have. Here are some of our hairstyle recommendations for various kinds of glass frames that you can choose from:
Thick Frames
If your glasses have thick frames, go for a haircut with lots of volume and plenty of movement (hello curls!), and avoid flat and straight hairstyles as much as possible.
But if you’re looking for a clean look, pulling your hair into a bun is the way to go.
Classic Frames
Same with thick frames, curly hairstyles, and messy and undone look goes well with this kind of frame.
Butterfly Frames
Keep up the glamorous and stylish look by pairing it with loose, textured hair. You can go for layered short hairstyles if you have these eyeglasses.
Pro Tip: Avoid straight and blunt bangs when wearing glasses because they can cover up half of your face.
Flawless Short Hairstyles for Over 70 with Glasses
Below are some of the best short hairstyles that you can choose from:
1. Gray Pixie Cut
Short hairstyles are the way to go if you don’t like your hair getting in the way of your glasses. What can be more stylish than the pixie cut?
This short hairstyle is perfect for showing off your edgy and stylish side to all ages. Plus, it’s one look that will never go out of style.
2. Slicked-Back Hairstyle
Among all the short hairstyles for women over 70 with glasses, the slicked-back cut might be at the bottom of your list because it seems a bit intimidating.
However, we highly suggest going for this look if you have a fantastic face shape, as it can undoubtedly highlight your fabulous bone structure. Plus, it works well on all glass frames.
3. Curly Bob
Do your glasses have thick frames? If so, then go for a volumized hairstyle like this curly lob. Going for this look at the age of 70 is a bold move. But if you’re willing to take the risk, you might as well pair it with a unique glass frame for best results.
4. Long Wavy Pixie Cut
If you think you can’t pull off a short pixie cut, you can always go for a longer version like this one. Same with the short pixie, it removes hair off your face and glasses, but at the same time, it’s still long enough to frame your face beautifully.
5. Curly Layered Hairstyle
This is probably one of the most popular short hairstyles for over 70 with glasses and lots of good reasons! For one, it’s so easy to maintain. Plus, it works well with a thin or thick eyeglass frame.

9. Wavy Pixie Cut
If tight curls are not your thing, but you wish to add dimension and texture to your hair, try going for waves instead. It’s fun, stylish, and feminine, but most of all—it doesn’t get in the way of your eyeglasses.
10. Angled Bob
Yes, simplicity is beauty, and that’s why we’re going crazy with this neat and stylish look. Although it’s one of the short hairstyles for over 70 with glasses that are a bit on the longer side, its simplicity will allow your face and sunglasses to be the center of attention.

The feathered cut is a classic short hairstyle for women over 70, and we adore it! This hairstyle gives your thin hair a youthful vibe because of its movement and bounce. Plus, its length sits atop your forehead, so it won’t overpower your glasses.

18. Wavy Medium-length Hairstyle
If you want a medium-length hairstyle, opt for a shoulder-length bob like this one. When you go for a wavy hairstyle, make sure that the waves are shying away from your face so it wouldn’t crowd your eyeglasses.
19. Purple Straight Lob
Only stick to straight hairstyles if you don’t have fine hair. This straight hairstyle works because of the volume, texture, and natural body of her hair type. The purple hair color is also a big plus as it will take years off your entire look.
20. Beach Waves on Lob
