Red hair
You can advantageously highlight your red hair with frames in warm shades like brown, sand, and tortoise. You can also create a nice contrast to red hair with cooler colors like green and blue. If you prefer a safe choice, opt for frames in colors like tortoise, blue, and black, as they are an absolute winner for red locks. We recommend avoiding yellowish shades, as they tend to lessen the vibrancy of red hair.

Blonde hair
If you have warm, blonde hair with hints of bronze, it will look fantastic with reading glasses in tortoise. If your hair is lighter, frames in warm colors like brown, orange, and red will be perfect. If your hair has a cooler, blonde color, you should go for slightly darker colors like grey and dark blue. You can also experiment with other colors like green and purple, which will complement your hair color without being too overwhelming. But avoid very dark and cool colors like black, as it can make you look pale.

Light brown hair
Tortoise reading glasses will look fantastic on brunettes, beautifully highlighting both the deep and lighter tones in brown hair. Brown hair with extra dark tones will work well with frames in colors like orange, green, and brown. Brown hair with cooler tones will suit glasses in colors like black, blue, purple, and pink, as well as pastels.

If your hair is dark brown, choose darker frames like grey, black, or tortoise. If you need to create contrast with your dark hair, you can advantageously opt for reading glasses in light colors such as sand and transparent. Colors like green, red, and brown will also look fantastic with dark brown hair. Avoid pastel colors like light blue and light pink.

Black hair
If you have black hair, look for reading glasses in darker shades like grey, black, tortoise, dark blue, and green, which will complement your hair – especially if you choose a light and thin frame so the contrast isn't too stark. Bright and saturated shades like red, blue, and purple can create an eye-catching effect, while light tones like sand and transparent might appear paler against dark hair.

Grey hair
Light grey hair gives you the freedom to experiment with bold colors like orange, green, and purple. You can also choose deep shades like blue, tortoise, black, and grey. However, you should avoid golden, beige, and brown tones, which can have a dulling effect on your grey hair. If you have dark grey hair, you can choose all colors! So be brave and go for colorful and especially two-toned glasses.
