Skin Tone, Hair Color, and Eye Color

  • Those with bronze, golden, or peach skin tones look best in warm colors such as brown, tortoise, gold, bronze, copper, red, or coral.
  • Silver, pewter, pink, blue, violet, or black frames look best with cool, blue, or pink skin tones.
  • For darker skin tones, try brighter, bolder, or richer hues.
  • For lighter skin tones, look for lighter shades.
  • Similar rules apply for the warmth or coolness of your hair color when choosing frames.
  • Consider your eye color and choose frames that complement your eyes and don't overpower them.

Lifestyle

On the Go

If you lead an active life, you might want to consider some of our more durable frames, such as sports glasses. Today, there are more options than ever. Try wraparound styles, eyewear with shields, or models that help provide eye protection. There also are many styles for specific sports or activities. Impact-resistant lenses** protect eyes, while polarized lenses help reduce glare. Browse our selection online, or visit us at your local store to find eyewear that fits properly and meets your specific needs.

** No lenses are shatterproof or unbreakable.

Computer Savvy

Frequent computer users might want to consider computer glasses to reduce eye strain. Computer lenses fit in almost any frame style and can help reduce the constant refocusing when looking at a computer screen for long periods of time. You also might want to try eyeglasses with a larger frame area for easier monitor viewing. We can help you choose the best eyewear for your level of computer use.

Personal Style

Designer Brands

From sophisticated and cool to relaxed and casual, your frames express your personality. Why shouldn't your glasses fit your style, too? Choose from dozens of designer brands, fashion collections, and private-label brands to let your sense of individuality shine.
