	Which frame suits my eye colour?

Which frame suits my eye colour?

In order to find the ideal glasses, several criteria should be considered. Criteria such as shape, brand, material and weight naturally play an important role when it comes to comfort. However, points such as hair and skin color, hair structure and also the eye color should also be taken into account. The color of the eyes in particular plays an important role, because the eyes are inextricably linked with your glasses and can either emphasize or dull your look. We will reveal the secret for you. Find out which type of glasses suits your eye color best to give you a wonderful look that you cannot turn away from.

Determine your eye color to find a perfect frame

The selection of the right glasses takes place in several steps. First, you should visit an optician or ophthalmologist who will issue you with a glasses passport or prescription and tell you what correction the glasses need. Some frames are not suitable for certain corrections - for example for varifocal lenses. In order to find a suitable frame, you should first check the morphology of your face. There are several face shapes such as round, oval, rectangular or square. Depending on the shape of your face, a certain shape of glasses will generally suit you better or make it worse. Once you've decided on a suitable shape, it's time to choose the color of the frame.

And this is where the color of your eyes really matters. Certain hues can actually make your irises stand out. Others, on the other hand, make your eyes look smaller and more inconspicuous.

It is therefore important to define the color of your eyes. They can be brown, blue, hazel, gray, or green. They can also have pretty golden or green highlights that should also be considered.

So, first of all, it's important to determine the range of colors that your eyes are in. Brown or hazel eyes are part of the hot area. Gray, green and blue eyes to the cold area. However, these cool hues can be enhanced with a little bit of brown glitter, for example.

Choose the colour of your frame

If you have selected a wide frame, its colour is more prominent. And that's why it's even more important. In order not to make a mistake, we usually recommend choosing a frame that matches the tone of the pupil. This is especially true when the colour of the eyes is very vibrant. A green eye is thus highlighted by a khaki or bronze frame. This solution remains the smartest and most discreet.

You can also play with contrasts. For example, a pink frame looks great with brown eyes. This option is great for getting noticed. However, the colour of the frame must match that of your eyes.

Below are some valuable tips to help you navigate between the different frame colours available on the market.

Qu'est-ce que la myopie?


Create a flawless frame-eye relationship

- Blue eyes can have pastel colours - perfect if you have a fair complexion and blonde hair. A pretty lilac or a very trendy coral will keep your eyes on the front. Red is also a great option for anyone looking to make a statement with a bold colour. If you have blue eyes but are dark haired, cool colours work wonders. A silver frame is an excellent choice. Do you want to be less classic? You can then switch to bold or bright colours like fuchsia. Tortoiseshell frames go divinely well with blue eyes too. If the blue of your eyes is special, you can also lighten it more by choosing a blue frame.

If you love originality, orange is a sure-fire thing. This is the perfect colour to bring out a deep blue.

- Are your eyes grey-blue or grey? Choose dark shades like midnight blue or purple or grey. To add a little spice, lively shades are preferred.

- Green eyes find an ally with red and purple who plays with seductive contrasts. For the more discreet, light greens - a delicate jade, for example - will make your eyes stand out. If you have dark hair, you can also choose shades of orange. A natural or earthy brown, chocolate, or pink frame will also work best. Avoid cool blues that don't bring out your eye colour. On the other hand, purple can be an excellent alternative to add the original touch to your face.

- Do you have brown eyes? You have more choices. Blondes can choose any shade. Brown tones are highlighted by purple or green frames. You can frame your look with a wise frame by, for example, picking up a softer brown or a more eccentric one with pretty gold patterns.

- Hazelnut eyes are magnified by warm hues and gold in all its shapes. You can also choose an amber coloured frame - more or less clear according to your needs. To avoid mistakes, yellow or brown should be preferred. They can also turn green when your eyes have shades of that shade.

- If your eyes are black, you are lucky enough to be able to wear all of the colours on your glasses frames. To add originality, play with eye-catching skin tones. For more sobriety, take on dark tones. Light colours or, on the contrary, pastel colours are also possible. Light shades make your face softer. Why not white, completely original and very stylish?

Looking for inspiration?

Choosing the right frame shade is one thing, but you also need to consider the frame itself. If you've chosen a small frame - close to your eyes - the colour is even more important. In fact, it will frame your iris as tightly as possible, so it should match its colour perfectly.

If you opted for a larger frame, it will be farther from your eyes and therefore may have a less harsh hue.

These chromatic tips are suitable for both women and men. Now you can let your taste buds find the right glasses for your prescription glasses without hiding your eye colour. Also note that the frame may completely or, conversely, only partially frame your eyes. If your eyes are small - and regardless of their colour - it is better to choose a frame with a half rim.

There are other ways to find the perfect colour too. You can adopt a transparent frame if you want. You will surely not make a mistake there! These frames are of course suitable for all looks and in no way affect the legibility of the face. If you are hesitant between two colours, this can be a great alternative.

Another possibility are frames with different colours. So you can play with the associations of complementary colours - for example brown and gold - or, on the contrary, with the original contrasts. In all cases, the dominant colour should match that of your eyes.

Would you like more specific references to make sure you pick the right one? Your blue eyes can be dressed in a Ray-Ban RX-3610-V - 2501 silver frame with a very sporty-chic look. The tortoiseshell inspiration of the Guess GU-2671-V - 055 frames could also be very suitable for a modern and timeless look. Do you want more originality? Check out the bright orange frames from Benetton BE-001 - 03-B2 or Calvin Klein CK-5857 - 810.

How about brightening your green eyes with a chic and subtle deep green frame? The Gucci GG-00270-006 model will work wonders. These frames combine the wisdom of a shade of rare elegance with a very contemporary style. If you have big green eyes, the eggplant frame of the Yves-Saint-Laurent YSL-6334 - AV6 glasses is also an excellent choice.

Gold models are abundant, and that's a good thing because they suit many eye colours. The Porsche P-8256 - B frames are perfect for modern men who want a very sophisticated and sporty look at the same time. For those who prefer a wiser style, the Sun 928-D frames, all around and beautifully gold coloured, are divinely suited.

If you can't decide, you can always use the sober black Burberry BE-4280 - 37731W frames. Simple and very attractive, they can best highlight all eye tones. The Ripcurl Atiha VOMA-03 - 765 models also ensure that everyone agrees with its black border and purple temples. They are terribly modern and easy to wear no matter what colour of eyes you are.
