Your guide to choosing the right color reading glasses

Skin tone

First and foremost, you should keep your skin tone in mind when selecting a new pair of reading glasses. Since readers are accessories, they have the potential to either greatly alter or minimally complement your features. For this reason, ask yourself the question: Do I want to call attention to my glasses, or do I prefer to create a more balanced look so that they blend in? If you have a lighter skin tone, consider purchasing a pair of reading glasses with clear or champagne frames; for darker skin tones, consider readers with navy, crimson, or black frames.

Setting

Secondly, you need to keep in mind where you plan on wearing your reading glasses. Some settings, such as traditional work environments, require employees to maintain a classic, formal look; other settings, such as the gym, are more open to interpretation. Similar to our suggestions regarding skin tone above, we also recommend considering how much you would like to blend in or stand out in your respective environment. Black, navy, and tortoise are all relatively safe options, while brighter colors such as chestnut or berry might be more appropriate for more informal settings.
