How can I choose the perfect frame color for my skin tone?

A factor to put into consideration when choosing your frame color, is your skin tone. This is because the frame rests upon your skin and if it harmonizes well enough, it can make you look prettier and vibrant. On the other hand, when a frame color does not match with your skin tone, it could make you look sick or rough. So when buying sunglasses, always go for frames with colors that complement your skin tone.

A person’s skin tone include their undertones and the three undertones we have are:

• Cool tones (bluish undertones, left side of picture)
• Warm tones (yellow, red and golden undertones, right side of picture)
• Neutral tones (a combination of cool and warm undertones, middle of picture)

Once you figure out your skin undertone, color matching your sunglass will be easy!

• If you have a cool undertone, women sunglasses in blue, silver, purple and black will be perfect for you.
• If you have a warm skin tone, go for red, brown, gold and green sunglasses.
• And if you have a neutral skin tone, then congratulations, you can buy frames with both warm and cool colors!
