FAQ
Q: Will burgundy frames look good if I wear mostly cool‑colored outfits?
A: Yes! Just ensure the burgundy is deeper or slightly muted (not bright cherry red) and pair with neutral tones around it so the frames pop without clashing.
Q: Can I wear burgundy glasses with other red tones in my outfit?
A: Absolutely, just balance the intensity. If your frames are rich burgundy, keep other reds in your outfit as accents like a scarf, headband or socks, rather than dominating large pieces. This way the glasses remain the focal point.
Q: How do I pick a Top Frame to go with a burgundy base from Pair Eyewear?
A: Start with neutrals, the tortoise or solid colored toppers. Then if you’re feeling adventurous, try patterned toppers that include burgundy and orange tones, or gradient toppers that echo the frame’s color. Check Pair’s Burgundy Style Guide page for suggestions.
