Select Frame Colors That Complement Your Skin Tone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about trying contact lenses<\/a>? Whether you need corrective lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia, contact lenses offer many advantages over eyeglasses<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most attractive appearance, the color of your eyeglass frames should complement your skin tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skin tone is broadly classified as either warm<\/em> or cool<\/em>.  A warm skin tone has a bronze, golden, or “peaches and cream” cast.  A cool skin tone has blue or pink undertones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most eyewear experts agree that the following frame colors best complement each skin tone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Frame Colors That Complement Your Hair Color<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like skin tone, hair color can also be classified as warm or cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair colors with warm tones include blond, light brown, brown, dark brown, and flat black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair colors with cool tones include: strawberry blond, auburn, silver, “salt-and-pepper,” silver, and blue-black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best frame colors for warm and cool hair colors are the same as those for warm and cool skin tones.  If you are uncertain about whether your hair color is best categorized as “warm” or “cool,” rely on your skin tone to select the best frame colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For lighter hair colors, choose frames with lighter, more subtle coloring.\u00a0 For dark hair, select deeper, more vibrant frame colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick Frame Colors That Complement Your Eye Color<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t want the color of your eyewear to overpower the color of your eyes.\u00a0 For light blue eyes, it’s best to choose lighter, more subtle frame colors.\u00a0 Darker, more vibrant colors look better if your eyes are green or brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s OK to Break The Rules (Sometimes)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The guidelines above will help you choose frame colors that are most likely to complement your appearance.\u00a0 But sometimes you may want to intentionally break these “rules” for a more dramatic look.\u00a0 If you like the look, go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek Expert Advice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Still uncertain?\u00a0 A professional image consultant can perform a detailed color analysis of your skin tone and hair color to help you choose wardrobe, makeup, and eyewear colors that best complement your natural coloration.\u00a0 Many upscale department stores and salons offer this service.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
