What your glasses colour says about you
The colour of glasses you decide to wear reflects so much about your personality, style and even what mood you are in on the day. As is the case with the rest of your wardrobe, your glasses act as a visual expression of what makes you an individual. Whether you go for bright and colourful designs or classic black and tortoiseshell, your choice of eyewear makes a big impression and has a huge influence on how you are perceived by everyone around you. Discover what your favourite colour glasses say about you!
Red glasses
Red has long been seen as a symbol of excitement, passion and courage. Interestingly, bright red is used in restaurants because it is an attention-grabbing colour that is thought to stimulate many emotions, including hunger!
Do you love to wear red frames? If so, you are more than likely an ambitious, energetic and adventurous person who loves to show off their bold personality.
Purple frames

If you love wearing this style of glasses, then you are probably a very witty and intelligent individual with a natural creative side. You love to show off your quirky personality by wearing contrasting prints and colours with this bold mixed aesthetic, but you also know how to show off your professional side by combining it with darker and muted colours. Traditional tortoiseshell is richer and darker in tone while modern designs offer a fun and colourful alternative.
Clear glasses
Transparent frames are extremely chic and have a universal style that suits almost everyone. With so much choice available, you can either decide to have a translucent frame with a bold splash of colour, or go for a simple crystal-clear design. These frames are very popular for their contemporary look and feel. They do not overcrowd your face but instead give your features plenty of time to shine!
If you like to wear clear glasses, you are probably an introverted person with a creative and quirky side. The talented American artist Andy Warhol was a big fan of these glasses. We are sure you agree he was a very distinctive and fashionable individual.
Pink eyewear
