What Color Glasses Should I Get for My Eye Color

Besides helping you keep your vision in the clear, glasses can amp up your specs appeal. Other than looking for the perfect fit and silhouette for your face, consider how your specs match your eye color. The right pair of glasses (whether they're prescription, blue light, or readers) can easily showcase your eye color, whether you're emphasizing those baby blues or drawing out those deep browns.

If you’re wondering, “What color glasses should I get?,” we’ve got the answers. We've compiled a guide on the best frame colors for different eyes, adding in a few of our QUAY faves to help you shop your options. Remember that the rules aren't in stone, so don't forget to have fun trying out different colors. Load up our Virtual Try-On Tool to see how a particular frame looks on your face.

Brown Eyes

Brown is the most common eye color, but that doesn’t mean that you have to default to boring frames. So what color brings out brown eyes? You can make brown eyes pop with plum and burgundy frames for a sleek, model off-duty look. Warm tones such as browns, torts, and khakis also complement earthy brown eyes.

Best Frames for Brown Eyes

  • WIRED: Get your look WIRED with a classic square in a versatile spice red color that will turn heads your way.

Blue Eyes

If you've got baby blues, frames in black and brown will give your eyes a pretty pop. For a soft but intriguing look, go for a light pink or coral accent. If you’re into blue frames for a fun matchy-matchy vibe, try a dark midnight or green-leaning turquoise to provide contrast with your eyes.

  • HARDWIRE: HARDWIRE your daily ‘fit with premium specs appeal when you pair your blue eyes with classic black square glasses.

Green Eyes

If you’ve got green eyes, you can play up the greenery with neutrals such as earthy browns and torts. For bolder colors, try hues opposite of green on the color wheel — think picks such as burgundies and plums.

Hazel Eyes

Easy go-tos for hazel eyes include metallics, dusty pinks, tans, and grays, which bring out their multi-color vibe. If you're wondering how to make hazel eyes look greener, opt for an olive frame to bring out those greens. On the other hand, browns and golds can draw out the gorgeous gold flecks in hazel eyes.
