Eyeglasses are used as fashion accessories more and more these days, so learning what looks good on you is important. It is also a lot of fun, but the task can seem daunting. Selecting a color that doesn’t compliment your skin tone will create a flat look, and no one wants that. The first thing to do is determine your skin tone. Once you know that, and the basics about that, you will be armed to choose a frame that suits you perfectly.

There are two main categories of skin tone: Cool and Warm

Warm skin tones have yellow or green undertones while cool skin tones tend to be more blue or pink. There are the lucky few that fall into both of course, and they can base their decision on hair color.

Warm tones do well with shades of beige and other warm colors. You are probably good to go with browns, pinks, or reds if you have a warm skin tone. Colors for people with cool skin tones would be blacks, blues, greys, and blues. Tortoiseshell can go with either warm or cool, so that’s awesome because it’s always trending.
