Hoya Vision’s Guide to Choosing the Right Frame Color

Introduction

When it comes to choosing eyewear, it’s not just about the right prescription or lens type. The frame plays a huge role in the overall look and style of your glasses. Choosing the right frame color is especially important because it can highlight your features and complement your skin tone. In this guide, we will provide tips on how to choose the right frame color based on your complexion, personal style, and even the occasion.

Choosing the Right Frame Color for Your Skin Tone

The first thing to consider when choosing your frame color is your skin tone. Generally, skin tones fall into three categories: warm, cool, or neutral.

For Warm Skin Tones

• Opt for frames in colors like gold, honey, cream, beige, or even light green or blue.
• Avoid frames in shades of black, white, and pastels.
• For a bolder look, consider frames in shades of red, orange, or yellow.

For Cool Skin Tones

• Opt for frames in cool shades of blue, gray, silver, or dark tortoise.
• Avoid frames in warm colors like gold, yellow, and orange.
• For a bolder look, consider frames in shades of pink, purple, or red.

For Neutral Skin Tones

• Lucky for those with neutral skin tones, most frame colors work well. Opt for frames in shades of brown or even black.
• Avoid frames in shades that are too bright or bold.

Matching Your Frame Color to Your Personal Style

While choosing the right frame color for your skin tone is important, it’s also essential to consider your personal style. Here are some tips for matching your frame color to your personal style.

• If you prefer a classic, timeless look, opt for frames in neutral colors like brown, black, or cream.
• If you love bold, trendy styles, consider frames in bright colors or unique patterns.
• If you’re somewhere in between, opt for frames with subtle pops of color, like a tortoise shell pattern with hints of pink or blue.

Choosing the Right Frame Color for the Occasion

Lastly, it’s important to consider the occasion when choosing your frame color. Here are some tips to help you choose the right frame color for any occasion.

• For work, opt for classic colors like brown, black, or navy.
• For a night out, consider bolder colors like red or metallics like gold or silver.
• For a casual day out, opt for frames in fun colors like pink, yellow, or green.
