Hair Color

Your hair color (natural or otherwise) can have a big impact on which frame colors will work best for you. Consider not just the shade of your hair (brown, blonde) but also whether it has cool or warm undertones. This quick list will get you pointed in the right direction.

Blonde Hair
Blonde with Warm Undertones

Best Bet:

For glasses, warm blondes can run the gamut of warm colors including coral, light tortoise, green & red shades.

Blonde with Warm Undertones

Warm blondes have honey and bronze tones in their hair, and are generally slightly darker.
 
Blonde with Cool Undertones

Best Bet:

Cool blondes can easily wear black, blue, dark tortoise and pink tones. Avoid colors with strong yellow or gold undertones.

Blonde with Cool Undertones

Determining if you are cool or warm toned is the key to success choosing your best frame color. Cool blondes have ashy undertones and lean toward the platinum end of the spectrum.
 
Brown Hair
Brown with Cool Undertones

Best Bet:

Go for black, pink, blue, and dark tortoise for the best effect.

Brown with Cool Undertones

Cool brunettes are usually lighter in shade and have ash undertones.
 
Brown with Warm Undertones

Best Bet:

Stick with lighter tortoise shades that have warm undertones such as Mahogany or Bourbon. Or go with warm greens, reds or creamy off-whites.

Brown with Warm Undertones

Warm browns tend to be darker shades with more auburn and red tones.
 
Red Hair
Red Hair

Best Bet:

Try rich tortoise, black, forest, fern & warm neutrals like cream. Avoid Ashy and yellowy tones that will undermine redheads.

Red Hair

The inherent vibrance of red hair makes it an ideal partner for strong frame colors.
 
Black Hair
Black Hair

Best Bet:

Go for black, dark tortoise, Sea & Cranberry. Avoid diluted or ashy tones as they may appear washed out.

Black Hair

Of course black hair looks great with black and dark tortoise frames but black hair also provides a strong counterpoint to saturated brights such as Sea and Cranberry.
 
Grey & White Hair
Grey & White Hair

Best Bet:

Try Onyx, Cadet, Navy & Cherry red. Stay away from yellow and brown frames that have a dulling effect.

Grey & White Hair

All tones of grey hair provide an excellent chance to wear clean and bright colors.
 
Eye Color

Playing off your eye color can have a subtle influence on the overall look of your glasses.

Selecting frames close to your eye color will reinforce your natural palette and create depth. Choose contrasting colors for a more dramatic effect that will make eye color pop.

Blue Eyes

For blue eyes, coordinate with blue and grey tones such as Cadet, Mineral or Dusk. For contrast go with rich browns and tortoise or try bolder Bittersweet and Tangerine.
 

Hazel Eyes

Hazel Eyes look right at home in deep greens and browns. To bring out the gold flecks in hazel eyes try colors like Malt or Brindle fade.
 

Green Eyes

Green eyes pair perfectly with rich earthy colors in brown and gold tones. Shades of pink like Blush and Opal or purple tones will give greater contrast.
 

Brown Eyes

Brown eyes play well with other warm tones like Tortoise, Mahogany and Bourbon while greens like Military, Fern and Chartreuse provide contrast.
