How to Pick Glasses That Suit Your Skin Tone

When choosing prescription glasses, many people focus on the shape of the frame. While shape is important, colour can have just as much impact on how the glasses look on you.

The right frame colour can brighten your complexion, complement your wardrobe and become a pair you'll enjoy wearing every day.

## Understanding warm and cool skin tones

Most people have either a warm or cool skin tone.

A simple way to get an idea of yours is to look at the veins on the inside of your wrist.

If they appear more green, you may have a warm skin tone.

If they appear more blue or purple, you may have a cool skin tone.

Some people have a neutral skin tone, meaning they suit a wider range of colours.

## Best frame colours for warm skin tones

Warm skin tones often suit colours such as:

• Tortoiseshell.

• Gold.

• Brown.

• Honey.

• Olive green.

• Warm red.

These shades usually create a balanced, natural appearance.

## Best frame colours for cool skin tones

Cool skin tones often look great with:

• Black.

• Silver.

• Navy.

• Grey.

• Crystal clear.

• Deep blue.

These colours tend to complement cooler complexions without overpowering them.

## What if you have a neutral skin tone?

You're in luck.

Neutral skin tones can usually wear both warm and cool colours successfully.

This gives you greater freedom to choose frames based on your personal style rather than colour alone.

## Don't forget your hair and eye colour

Although skin tone is helpful, it's only one part of the picture.

Your hair colour, eye colour and clothing preferences can all influence which frames look best.

Choose a pair that makes you feel confident as well as comfortable.

## Choosing glasses online

When buying prescription glasses online, take time to browse different frame colours alongside your preferred frame shape.
