Other considerations when picking your glasses’ color

1. Don’t forget about eye color

When choosing glasses, it also helps to think of the colors that complement your natural eye color.

 
Your eye color can be a factor in selecting the right glasses’ color to complement your features.
 
People with brown eyes, for instance, can opt for warm colors like gold, brown, and tortoiseshell as these colors can bring out the warm undertones in brown eyes.
 
To enhance the beauty of green eyes, glasses with warm earth or gold tones such as caramel or tortoise can be a great choice, as they accentuate the gold tones. For blue eyes, navy or cobalt blue frames and coral or champagne shades are good options, while gray or silvery blue frames can enhance gray eyes.
 
Hazel eyes are a unique combination of brown and gold flecks, making them one of the most multi-dimensional eye colors. As such, amber-colored glasses can complement this eye color perfectly.
 

2. Consider your skin complexion

Generally, warm-toned complexions suit warm colors like gold and peach while cool-toned complexions suit cooler colors like blue or purple.

 
Your complexion can be another factor in deciding what color of glasses to get. For example, people with warm-toned complexions tend to look better in warm colors like peach, gold, or brown, while those with cool-toned complexions look best in cooler colors like blue, purple, or gray.
 

Color makes all the difference!

In summary, warm brown hair should go for reds, warm browns, golds, and tortoiseshell patterns. On the other hand, cool brown hair folks will be right at home with greens, purples, pinks, and blues.
 
Once you’ve nailed the color you want, remember to consider your face shape and personal style preferences before deciding the shape of glasses you want. It may take time, but it’s worth it to find a pair that you can wear for ages and always look good in.
