I’m buying new glasses and sunglasses. Anything I should consider if I want to be bolder than usual?
For you as a Soft Summer, cool and slightly muted colors look best even when choosing frames. Go for tones like misty lavender, soft plum, muted teal, or steel gray. A matte finish and softly rounded shapes give a harmonious impression and suit the naturally subtle Soft Summer palette.
Color choices for frames
- Cool pastels like lavender or soft pink work excellently.
- Muted neutrals like steel gray, taupe, or light brown blend in nicely.
- 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. Here too, a matte finish and soft shape are more flattering than shiny, angular models.
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’ll get glasses that both stand out and harmonize with your soft color palette. Feel free to try something new, but stick to the cooler and somewhat muted tones and the result will feel just right.
