Hijab With Glasses – 15 Stylish Ideas to Try

Be it sunglasses or perscription glasses, they don’t just protect our eyes but they also help make a style statement. And as for sunglasses, on hot days, they are pretty much a necessity.

But is it possible to wear hijab with glasses? Of course, and we’re here to make it easier for you by discussing the following:

What to Consider When Buying Glasses as a Hijabi?

When choosing glasses to wear with a hijab, consider the following factors to ensure a comfortable and stylish combination:

• Frame style: Opt for glasses with frames that complement your face’s shape and style. There are various frame styles, such as round, square, cat-eye, or rectangular frames. Select a type that you feel confident and comfortable wearing.

• Frame colour: Consider the color of your glasses frames about the colours of your hijabs. If you wear various colours, neutral-coloured frames like black, brown, or silver can be versatile and match most outfits. Alternatively, you can choose frames that coordinate with or accentuate the colors in your hijab for a coordinated look.

• Frame size: Pay attention to the size of the frames as compared to your face. Ensure the frames are not too large or too small, as they should complement your facial features without overwhelming them. Frames that are proportionate to your face size tend to look balanced and more flattering.

• Lightweight frames: Opt for lightweight glasses frames, as they will be more comfortable to wear with a hijab throughout the day. Heavy frames can cause discomfort or leave imprints on your skin when combined with the pressure of the fabric.
• Avoid wide temple arms: When wearing a hijab, wide temple arms (the part that extends over your ears) can be more challenging to accommodate. They may interfere with the fabric or create bulkiness. Look for glasses with narrower temple arms that are more streamlined and sit closer to your head.
• Consider adjustable nose pads: Glasses with adjustable nose pads can be beneficial as they allow you to customize the fit and prevent the glasses from sliding down your nose or causing discomfort.

Styling Tips

• For wearing a hijab over the headscarf, opt for a fabric with a strong grip, like cotton or linen. Avoid fabrics that are too silky like chiffon or silk.
• Keep your hijab cap, and scarf loose when wearing glasses under the hijab. Opt for styles like dupatta hijab, ponytail style to turban style. This way, your shades won’t hurt your ears.

• Make sure your frame fits you perfectly. You’ll have to fix it on and off if it is too big for you. Moreover, if the frame is small, it will eventually hurt your head and ears.
• Don’t compromise on your style and make sure whatever style you are going with is comfortable.

• Don’t be afraid of accessorizing with earrings while wearing a hijab and sunglasses.
• If your glasses have temples that hook around your ears, ensure the hijab fabric is not folded or bunched up underneath them. Smooth the fabric around your ears and temples, ensuring it remains comfortable and secure.

• Once your hijab and glasses are in place, ensure they are both comfortable. Adjust the fabric and glasses if necessary. Ensure that the glasses do not press too tightly against your face or cause any discomfort around the nose or ears. Also, check that your vision is not obstructed.
• To keep your hijab in place throughout the day, use hijab pins or clips to secure it at strategic points, such as the sides or back of your head. This will help prevent the hijab from slipping or shifting, which may affect the position of your glasses.

Everyone’s preferences and face shapes are different, so feel free to experiment with different hijab styles and glasses positions to find what works best for you.
