Silver-haired Screen Sirens- Our Favourite Glasses for Mature Women
Prescription glasses are the favourite geek-chic accessory of young celebrity trend-setters at the moment, from quirky TV presenters like Alexa Chung, to teen actresses like Miley Cyrus. However, at Direct Sight, we think the glamorous mature ladies of film could teach the youngsters a thing or two about great style. It’s time to celebrate glasses for mature women.
From acting legend Meryl Streep, to mature beauty Diane Keaton, these ladies show that with age comes beauty. As we get older, our individual tastes become more refined, until we have secured ourselves a unique, stable sense of style.
These are our favourite frames, inspired by these 60-something beauties:
Julie Walters found fame in charming British film, Billy Elliot, in which she played Billy’s motherly ballet coach. Since her early fame, she has catapulted into the public eye, never failing to impress with her fun sense of fashion. Walters favours rimless frames with dark arms for a look that is both subtle and classic. The DS Collection 235 glasses are almost identical to Walter’s favourite pair and would suit anyone looking for a pair of discreet spectacles.
Jamie Lee Curtis is remem
bered for blockbuster comedies such as Freaky Friday, in which she starred as mother of wayward daughter, Lindsay Lohan. Lohan may have a wild child reputation, but Curtis is worthy competition in the style stakes. Her frames of choice are simple, retro designs which suit her intelligent and fun-loving character. The DS Collection A181 glasses capture this look perfectly.
Award-winning movie veteran, Meryl Streep, has long been admired for her versatile acting skills, starring in a myriad of film roles including musical comedy, Mamma Mia and recent success, The Iron Lady. Her glasses reflect her creative and perhaps slightly eccentric persona, as she favours fun cat-eye shaped frames like these Giorgio Armani GA873 glasses with bold acrylic arms.
Diane Keaton sets a shining example of how to dress in your 60s. Whilst she keeps her clothes simple, she wears coloured tinted lenses in her glasses to make a bold fashion statement. At Direct Sight, we understand that when it comes to great style, it’s all in the details. When ordering online, you are given the option of a coloured lens in your glasses in a range of colours, with the option of a light or dark tint. Keaton favours green but you may choose from grey, brown, red or green.
So whether you’re heading into the golden years of life, or you’re simply looking for some style inspiration, check out our full range of women’s glasses to see if you can spice up your accessories.
