Soft Autumn colour palettes embrace warm, muted tones reflecting autumn’s gentle transition from Summer to Winter.
If you have a Soft Autumn complexion, choosing the right colour glasses is crucial to complement your skin, eye, and hair colours and elevate your fashion style.
In this article, we’ll explore the ideal glasses colours for Soft Autumn men, how to choose them according to your face shape and hairstyle, and how to pair them with outfits in your seasonal colours.
Ideal Glasses Colours for Soft Autumn Men
Soft Autumn men’s complexions harmonise best with glass frames in warm, muted colours.
Your ideal glass frame colours should include warm tortoiseshell, soft gold, muted bronze, warm olive green, and rich amber.
Your choice of frames can also have subtle hints of brown, beige, or golden undertones, mirroring the soft, earthy palette characteristic of Soft Autumn colouring.
These shades complement Soft Autumn skin tones without overpowering their naturally muted features.
In contrast to other Autumn colours, Soft Autumn men should avoid overly saturated or dark frame colours.
Jet black or stark metallic frames suit Deep Autumn men but appear harsh against Soft Autumn complexions.
Similarly, the warm, vibrant frame colours that enhance True/Warm Autumn colouring may overwhelm Soft Autumn’s more delicate palette.
Soft Autumn men benefit from selecting glasses with a subtle, lived-in appearance, which aligns with their overall soft and warm colour profile.
Choosing Soft Autumn Coloured Glasses by Face Shape and Haircut
While Soft Autumn men suit glass frames in warm, muted colours, the ideal frame style varies based on your face shape and current haircut.
Oval Face Shape
Oval faces are versatile and suit most frame styles. Opt for frames in warm tortoiseshell or soft gold to enhance your Soft Autumn colouring.
Consider the Oliver Peoples ‘Gregory Peck’ model in ‘Cocobolo’ for a classic look.
These frames pair well with various hairstyles, from the Classic Side Part to the Modern Pompadour.
Round Face Shape
For round faces, angular frames add definition. Choose frames in muted bronze or warm olive green to create contrast while flattering your Soft Autumn palette.
The Persol ‘714’ model in ‘Terra di Siena’ offers a flattering option for round faces.
These frames complement shorter hairstyles like the Textured Crop or Buzz Cut, adding structure to your overall appearance.
Square Face Shape
Square faces benefit from slightly rounded frames to soften angular features. Choose frames in warm tortoiseshell or soft amber tones.
The Ray-Ban ‘Round Metal’ in bronze complements square faces beautifully.
These frames work well with short and medium-length hairstyles, such as the Ivy League haircut or Layered Mid-Length Cut.
Heart Face Shape
Heart-shaped faces look best with frames that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Opt for frames in muted gold or warm brown tones.
The Tom Ford ‘FT5401’ in amber horn colour suits both heart-shaped faces and Soft Autumn colouring.
These frames pair nicely with styles that add volume at the top, like the Textured Quiff or Modern Pompadour.
Diamond Face Shape
Diamond face shapes suit frames that highlight the eyes and soften cheekbones. Choose rimless or semi-rimless styles in warm, muted metallics.
The Lindberg ‘Spirit Titanium’ collection offers customisable frames in Soft Autumn-appropriate finishes.
These subtle frames complement longer hairstyles like Modern Long Layers or the Man Bun.
Triangle Face Shape
Triangle face shapes benefit from frames that add width to the upper part of the face. Choose frames with decorative temples or bold upper rims in warm, muted tones.
The Garrett Leight ‘Wilson M’ in ‘Matte Brandy Tortoise’ offers a flattering option for triangle faces.
These frames work well with styles that add volume on top, such as the Textured Crop or Short Pompadour.
