Finding the Best Sunglasses Frames for your Skin Tone

In natural daylight, examine the undertone of the skin on the underside of your arm. Those with cool toned skin tend to have a pink or rosy undertone and bluish veins; while those with warm toned skin have a golden or apricot undertone and greenish veins.

In terms of sunglasses (and clothing), cool toned wearers should gravitate towards frames in blue-based hues; while warm toned wearers should look for yellow-based hues.

Sunglasses Suggestions for “Cool” Skin Tones

Blue, pink, plum, magenta, tortoise, green, silver and black frames or lenses are most suitable for cool skin tones.

Example: Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz

Sunglasses Suggestions for “Warm” Skin Tones

Warm skin tones are flattered by gold, copper, orange, brown, tan, olive, dark red and off white frames or lenses.

Example: Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce Knowles, Nicole Richie
