Redish hair and definitely red skin. Tortoiseshell, and gold look best on me. I have others, like green and aqua, but really I look better with either of those two. I'd think it was more my warm skin tone (soft autumn palette, closest to Drew Barrymore's combo. At least, I can wear anything she does in her Cover Girl ads)?

At glasses usa you can upload a pic of your face and virtually try on glasses to see what you think might look best. My hair is a darker shade of blond and I wear dark blue glasses. Tortoise usually looks good with red.

Just got new frames actually...a couple of shades of dark blue. Reading glasses are bigger and dark green with flecks of white. I like them...I change

frames often enough that I don't really get tired of them.

I also have tortoiseshell at the present, but have a collection of others. Green is my choice for the next pair, but I haven't found the right shade of green to suit. My hair is blonde/brown....gray. ha

Purple to match my hair.

I would think tortoiseshell would look good with red hair.

Brown eyes/hair. Gold frames. Also have red readers and pink readers.

Very dark brown hair and medium complexion. My frames are purplish. I tend to wear clothes in that color palette, so I think they work well together.

Jim....I wonder how/where I can get that clear conscience.

White hair, clear and purple frames. Also have a pair of older glasses that the frames are silver that I am thinking about having my new prescription in them.

I had to take mine off to see what color they are! It seems that they are sort of mahogany colored.

Daily wear are dark navy, workout glasses are brown tortie. Fun sunglasses are ivory marbled (a pair of Tommy Bahama frames I got cheap). All prescription (all sunglasses too).

Past frame colors have been brown tortie, red metallic (not big) and various metallic wire frames. Hair is dirty blonde with gray streaks.

Have FUN with your frames!

My new glasses should be ready Friday -- they are tortoise shell, in light brown and golden shades. I think they match my medium skin tone, brown eyes, and hair that is still more brown than gray.

I vetoed the retro mint-green cats eye frames that dear husband said made me look very stylish! (Although maybe for sunglasses they'd work....?!)

I think the right shade of tortoise would look great with your red hair.

My hair is medium brown with gray. Current reading glasses are tortoise with shades of blue in them. Love them. They are my prescription readers. I also have other cheap readers in dark red, green, blue. I keep my old prescription glasses to use, and almost all of them are dark tortoise or black with a color incorporated on the reverse side (light blue, lime green).

I use readers and have a large collection :-) I consider them to be a fashion accessory (although desperately needed, as I can't see a thing without them) so they are in all colors. And I often coordinate my glasses with what I'm wearing.

My favorites have an orange base but with some other color specks. My work glasses - those I use when drafting and with a slightly stronger magnification - are tortoise shell.

Mine are black. My hair is light brown and my eyes are blue. I chose them because they accentuate my eyes, like wearing black mascara. They are pretty thin and light so they're not heavy black nerdy glasses. The sides are a greige color.

Mine are from Warby Parker, called Upton. The color is Oak Barrel, which is like tortoise. I have blonde hair and hazel green eyes. I think tortoise would be nice with red hair.

Tortoise

I don't wear glasses, except readers sometimes and I just get them at Dollar Tree, usually half dozen at a time. I have red, brown, black, and several printed with designs.

I have dark brown hair and blue eyes, and my frames are red. I used to worry about coordinating the frames with clothing colors, but don't concern myself any more. I love the glasses and dread getting new ones because of the horrendous cost of the frames. I agree with those who say that tortoiseshell glasses would look great on someone with red hair.

I have very black hair with silver sprinkled through it most of the silver is in the front, green eyes. My current, new, frame is matte black on the outside and a gorgeous purple on the inside. A hint of the purple shows. I like them and wish I could have a pair that is reversed with purple outside. My previous one was a shade of purple. I like purple on me but the dark black actually looks pretty good. It took a little while for me to get used to such a dark color.

tortoiseshell is almost like a neutral for frames I think they go with pretty much anything. Red included!

I had no idea that my frame was from a designer line but it is from Beyonce's line Dereon. I went to America's best this time and I absolutely loved it. Very nice people and easy to work with.

Mine are MULTICOLOURED. My very favourite glasses of all time. Red, purple, green .. and they aren't garish at all. And my hair is red too. I had been thinking about getting some multicolored frames. Then, on a trip, I sat on my glasses and couldn't even scotch tape them together. I went to get new frames and the only pair that fit my lenses was these! Exactlly what I wanted. I love them. And I don't care about matching. Red hair and multicolours really go together with everything.

Glasses: bronze with pseudo tigers eye plastic for over the ears.

Hair: medium brown, at least from a distance. Close up, one sees the incursions of grey.

Eyes: dark brown.

I am fine with the way they look together.

I think even if I were a redhead (many of my family are red headed, and I mean red headed, not that sorta auburn that some mistake for red), I'd probably still want a bronze or brown tone for my glasses. But I think tortoise would look good with red hair. (Fortunately for them, all my relatives with red hair inherited great eyesight, so they don't wear glasses...)

Tortoiseshell does not suit my skin tones so I avoid that. (I am what they used to call a "winter" in coloring). I wear dark blue, light blue, dark red, purple, and actually just got some translucent pink (a color I thought that I would never wear!) I have also been surprised that I like the darker colors best on me -- the shape of the frame is crucial though.

You have to consider your skin tones as well as your hair color (mine is predominantly silver/gray now).

I have auburn hair shot with gray and gray or green or blue eyes depending on who is looking. I have one black with pale purple pair of glasses and a green pair. I like both of them a lot but get more comments and compliments from the green pair. Apparently they make my eyes look more blue? I like tortoise shell with red hair as well.

I wear 100-year-old antique sterling silver glasses with etching around the frames. I have hazel eyes and silver streaked blunt cut hair.

Lily where did you find those, I bet they are gorgeous!

Auburn hair, hazel eyes and tortoise shell frames. I get compliments on my glasses all the time, so they must look ok on me.

I'd like to try multi-color frames, but I've stuck with neutrals so far because I don't want the frames to clash with my clothing. I should try a pair of cheap cheaters and see how multi-color would work out. Yep, I'm one of those matchy, matchy people.

My friend is dark brunette with brown eyes and she loves color. Her latest frames are multi-colored in various shades of blue stripes. They look great on her.

Lucille...I have a friend who specializes in odd glasses and antique ones. She fits reenactors at Gettysburg and other civil war events. They are cool but very delicate. They have celluloid nose pieces and I lost one and she had to root thru all her parts to find one. If I need a change in lens, none of the businesses around here will mess with them. Picture John Lennon 's glasses.

Mine are just cheap reading glasses and most are black.

Sue

Mine are all tortoise except for one pair of huge, round ones (think Iris Apfel).

Best glasses selection is EyeBobs! And all can be used with prescription lenses. They are great quality and the selection is amazing.

I have 6 pair of glasses, tortoise-shell sunglasses, oval glasses in pink and plum, rectangles in gold, deep blue and dark grey. My hair is everything from white in the front, grey in the middle and nearly black around the underside of the back. I look best in frames with a warm color. The grey, silver or gold make me too washed out looking. I think red-heads look good in greens.

Red with tiny pink hearts.

I wear Ralph Lauren tortoiseshell for computer use . My last pair before the antique silver ones were made in France and were quite expensive. I almost got a compliment a day on them. They were tiny round ones no bigger than a half dollar. So cute but not good for peripheral vision. All my glasses have always been totally round because I have a thin face.

Call me crazy....I don't wear glasses, but I love black nerdy glasses on most people.

Glasses: Dark Brown

Frame: Stetson

Hair: Near White

Hair blonde, glasses are bronze and turquoise

Someone here posted a pic of a pair of frames that were a green with purple. It included a link to the site where they could be purchased. I bookmarked that site and those frames for a long time, but finally deleted it. Now I'm thinking I might revisit them. Does anyone remember the green/purple frames I'm talking about? and the site?

My previous glasses had lenses that were a bit on the large side and the plastic frames were beige with bits of color (brown, rose and blue). Can't say I loved them. I really think ALL glasses are ugly, so it's only a matter of choosing the LEAST hideous. Seriously, that's how I feel about this necessary evil. About three weeks ago I had a long overdue eye exam and got new glasses. I couldn't find any frames just like or even close to my previous frames and anything new takes a while to get used to, so I had a really hard time choosing. I have mousey brown hair that is going gray and blue eyes, so what did I buy? Purple and lavender, with METAL frames, LOL! My distance glasses are purple metal with lavender ear pieces with black zig zags. And my computer glass frames are all purple metal. Everyone tells me they look good on me. I still have a love hate relationship with glasses. Don't like the looks, but I LOVE being able to count the leaves in the trees as opposed to seeing a lovely green cloud.

gray hair rosy complexion /hazel eyes dark charcoal almost black frames by Candy the very best shaped for my face glasses i've had in 45 years i think i purchased them at vision source (in Lake Jackson, south of Houston) reasonably priced frames

I'm still looking for the frames that will make me look like I am 30 years younger. Anyone know where I can find them?

Raee, I can make someone ELSE look younger by taking my glasses OFF.

I have auburn hair and hazel-green eyes. Glasses since age 6. Too many years of boring brown frames and tortoise frames chosen by mom because they matched everything. As an adult I've had a blue pair and a pink pair. My current pair is "orchid" (purple.)

My frames

I was looking for green, and tried a very similar frame in green but they were just "meh." The frame specialist handed me these to try on and they looked great. I love them and get regular compliments. Just be open to trying different looks and different colors. I used my phone to take selfies with the frames and then put my glasses back on to look at the photos. Too nearsighted to see myself in the mirror without lenses.

Purple and blue. :)

Friend did not like the tortoise with my hair, the one I liked was light tortoise and she thought it looked too orange. May stay with current glasses which are Edie's color (see two posts above, maybe a tad more reddish.

maybe it was the specific pair they didn't like?
