Best Glasses for Older Women

By Julyne Derrick, About.com Guide

When choosing glasses you should consider 3 things:

1. Your face shape;
2. Your hair color;
3. Your personality.

These oversize frames work beautifully on Diahann Carroll because they fit her face shape, her coloring and her personality. She has a long face shape, so the square frames balance out the length of her face. As for her coloring, black frames look great on everyone. And her personality comes across in these glasses, which are what we call "signature frames."
