Her Majesty is widely known for her classic and polished style, always favoring her tried and tested staples of dress suits, pearls, block colors and headscarves.
When it comes to her glasses, she likes to keep it simple yet elegant. The Queen has been wearing Silhouette frames since the 1980s, and often opts for round lenses with a clean vintage style.
Her current pairs are made from a lightweight, semitransparent plastic and are the perfect mix between classic style (which pairs well with anything) and reflects her personality.
It frames her eyes perfectly without harsh lines. Metal and solid plastic frames often fit well on the older wearers.
