Questions & AnswersAll right now we’re going to talk about picking out a colored frame for somebody who is darker complexed, with a dark skin color, you know ebony skin tones or with a very, very tanned skin tones. You’re going to look at something, I would really strongly advise against going with something strictly, strictly black, you want to go with something that’s going to give you a little bit of variety, kind of show out a little bit. I’ve put a few things together here, one of my favorites is going to be this Olga frame over here, this is a Swedish frame, it’s a black, black on the top with rimless on the bottom, has a, the metal is gun metal and it has a little touch of red, going to send out a little bit of color so it’s going to add some differentiation between the glasses and your face. I’m also going to recommend the same color that I recommended earlier for someone with a medium skin color. Wine color is still going to look pretty good, okay gives you, it’s a darker, we’re not talking about bright red here we’re talking about a wine color, it just kind of sets, you know sets it of from your skin. Tortoises, darker tortoises, let’s see you don’t want to go with a really, really light tortoise, you want to go with something that’s going to be, have a little bit, little bit of lighter color and so again add some differentiation. On the bottom here, I’ve added a well with what I’m going to call very fashion forward pieces. Silver is something that’s really going to set you apart if you’re feeling adventurous, a little bit of silver is really going to kind of stand out, that’s going to be a little bit bolder but again going to set differentiation off on the black, it’s okay to do a little bit of black when you have a darker skin tone but don’t make it so that the black glasses you know just wash out when you put them on your face. You want to add some differentiation to your look and I think that’s a good way to do it.
