Choosing new glasses should be exciting, but when you’re faced with dozens of colours, shapes and styles, knowing where to begin isn’t always easy. If you’ve ever wondered, “What glasses suit my face?”, colour analysis can offer a useful starting point.
The shades you wear around your face can affect the way your complexion, hair and eyes appear. At Bainbridge Bespoke Opticians, we use this alongside face shape and style guidance to make choosing eyewear feel more focused, enjoyable and individual.
What Is Colour Analysis for Eyewear?
Colour analysis explores how different shades work with your natural colouring. Some tones can make your complexion appear brighter or highlight your eye colour, while others may feel less harmonious.
Rather than relying on strict rules about choosing glasses for skin tone, we look at the overall relationship between your skin, hair and eyes. You may find that warm, rich shades work particularly well for you, or discover that cooler, softer tones create the effect you prefer.
It can also open up possibilities you might otherwise overlook. A frame colour that feels bold on the display may look surprisingly natural once you try it on.
How Does Bainbridge Bespoke Opticians Use Colour Analysis?
Our trained styling experts use the Munsell Colour System alongside Colour Me Beautiful swatches to identify colours that work well with your individual features.
These insights help us select frames from our collection for you to explore, rather than asking you to work through an entire display unaided. It’s a collaborative process, so there is still plenty of room to experiment with unexpected colours and styles.
Following your consultation, you’ll also receive a pocket-sized colour card to use as a handy reference when choosing clothing, accessories or other colours close to your face.
How Do You Find Glasses for Your Face Shape and Personal Style?
Colour is only part of choosing the right eyewear. Our bespoke eyewear styling service also considers glasses for face shape, your features and your style personality.
Face shape can help guide proportions and frame shapes, but we don’t believe it should limit your choices. Perhaps you enjoy statement eyewear that becomes part of your outfit, or maybe you’re drawn to understated, timeless designs. You might even discover something completely different from the frames you usually choose.
The most important thing is that your glasses feel right when you put them on. Technical guidance can narrow the options, but your own taste and confidence matter just as much.
Discover Eyewear Chosen Around You
At our Redditch and Harborne practices, choosing glasses is about more than simply picking a frame from the shelf. We take the time to consider your colouring, facial features and preferences, giving you a clearer route through the many options available.
