How to match sunglasses to your skin tone

When choosing sunglasses, it's important that both the style and colors complement your skin tone, so that your personal features come through. Sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun while also emphasizing your style.

Identify your skin tone

• Warm skin tone: If you have golden or red undertones, sunglasses with warm colors such as bronze, gold or green details are recommended.
• Cool skin tone: With blue or pink undertones, models with silver, blue or purple accents are preferable.
• Neutral skin tone: You have the flexibility to choose both warm and cool colors, whichever suits your features best.

Choose the right model

Consider your face shape:
• Round sunglasses can create contrast with an angular face.
• Angular frames can soften a round face.
The right color choice helps to highlight your features and create a harmonious expression.

Practical considerations

Try different models and color combinations so that the sunglasses are both practical and reflect your personal style.
