How to choose your round glasses

Assuming you've decided that round tortoise shell glasses are right for you, here are some questions to get you thinking:

Assuming you've decided that round tortoise shell glasses are right for you, here are some questions to get you thinking:

 

Do you want your glasses to disappear from your face, or do you want them to stand out?

Depending on the frame you choose, round glasses frames may blend into your face or draw attention to yourself. For example, clear acetate or thin wire frames are barely noticeable, while thicker colored frames tend to stick out, make a statement, and generally highlight your eyes more.

 

What kind of look do you want?

As always, size matters. If you want to look more intelligent, a smaller round frame or cat's eye may be better for you. Oversized frames, on the other hand, have a more retro, glamorous and/or mysterious feel.

 

What color are your eyes?

Your eyes are highlighted by your glasses, which you can complement or contrast according to your personality and mood. Try the following border color options:

Brown eyes: green, gold, tortoiseshell, purple, red or black.

Blue eyes: brown, blue, bronze, black, coral or turtle.

Green eyes: purple, pink, rose gold, tortoiseshell, silver or brown.

Hazel eyes: gold, green, brown or gray.

Grey eyes: Burgundy, black, dark blue, green or purple.

 

What color is your hair?

This is another factor to consider, although if in doubt, matte black tends to suit most hair colors. Otherwise, try these:

Black hair: tortoiseshell, blonde, striking pink, red, blue or orange.

Blonde hair: light blue or pink, light red, turtle shell.

Brown hair: blue, turquoise or bright pink.

Red hair: tortoiseshell, copper, purple, green or blue.

Grey or white hair: green, blue or red.

 

What are you doing with your round glasses?

Fortunately, the shape of round frames can be paired with any color frame, but if you choose colored frames, you might want to consider the colors you wear most often. Then try using it to blend or contrast your border colors. Add a watch or some jewelry and your styling job is done.

 

Buy your round frames.
