Your Hair Color Matters

Now if you are to put another accessory close to it, it is only logical that it should compliment it somehow. So here are a few tips that can save you from a prescription frame faux pas.

• Reds – Red hair look wonderful, but it is also very vibrant and bright itself. So, going for anything equally bright can be a little overbearing. That doesn’t mean you have to resort to blacks and browns. Solid cream and whites are your best bet.
• Brunettes – Brunettes can rock brightest red without looking too tacky. That’s not all. Since, it is such a well balanced color; they can also choose blues and greens. And if you ever see a bright tortoise, grab it!
Matching the Shape and Size
One of the biggest mistakes people do with bold frames is choosing the right color but the wrong shape or size. Remember, bigger and bolder glasses look uber stylish, but if you have a very narrow face or smaller eyes, it is best to choose something narrower, preferably oval or rectangle.
Also, if you are going for huge wayfarers and want something too bright, it is best to go for frames that have a subtle gradient to them. That can make the frame suitable for your nights out with friend as well as for casual day to day affairs.
Last but not the least, the most useful advice you will ever find. Don’t forget to wear your confidence and you will rock even the most eye-stabbing bright in the world of prescription frames.
