I’m buying new glasses and sunglasses. Anything I should consider if I want to be bolder than usual?

As a Soft Summer, cool and slightly muted colors look best when choosing frames. Go for tones like misty lavender, soft plum, muted teal, or steel gray. A matte finish and softly rounded shapes create a harmonious effect and suit the naturally subtle Soft Summer palette.

Color choices for frames

• Cool pastels like lavender or soft pink work well.
• Muted neutrals like steel gray, taupe, or light brown blend in naturally.
• Matte finishes make the color feel less harsh against the face.

Tips for sunglasses

Black is always a safe choice, but if you want variety, look for frames in pink, gray, or taupe. Again, a matte finish and soft shape are more flattering than shiny, angular frames.

Avoid

• Sharp contrasts between the frame and your skin tone.
• Shiny, black frames that can easily feel heavy and harsh on the face.

With the right colors and shapes, you can find glasses that stand out while harmonizing with your soft color palette. Try something new, but stay with cooler, somewhat muted tones for a balanced result.
