An expert guide to pairing with Transitions® GEN S™ 

Discovering your ideal pair of glasses is far more than a simple fashion choice, it’s a reflection of your personality. You can use Transitions® GEN S™ lenses to elevate your eyewear when you match them perfectly with frames that complement your unique look. How? Well, dive in and find out for yourself with our comprehensive guide to pairing with Transitions® GEN S™ lenses.    

The colour wheel.

Use the colour wheel 

The colour wheel is a handy tool to help you create stylish colour combinations between Transitions® GEN S™ lenses and your frames. With eight style colours to choose from, these dynamic Transitions® light-intelligent lenses can be paired in a variety of ways with different frames.  

Colour blending 

Select a lens tint that harmonises effortlessly with your frame colour for a standout, fashion-forward look. An easy way to discover flattering combinations is by using the colour wheel, colours arranged in threes naturally complement one another. Just imagine bright blue frames paired with Transitions® amethyst lenses or an earthy coloured tortoiseshell frame paired with graphite green tints. Simply stunning!

Tone-on-tone 

Create a sleek, monochromatic look by matching your lens colour to your frames. For a consistent and refined finish, seamlessly pair the same or similar colours, like neutral brown or amber lenses with brown frames. Or, choose the classic combination of grey lenses with silver frames for understated elegance and a classic look that will never go out of style.  

Prefer something a little more unique? Start by selecting a single colour you love from a frame with a multi-tonal design. For instance, pairing sapphire lenses with Seaglass Sands frames creates a captivating look. The mesmerising Seaglass hue blends blue, green and bronze, for a rich and distinctive finish. Complementing it with sapphire lenses enhances the blue undertones, resulting in a sleek, tonal pairing that’s both refined and eye-catching.

Colour contrast 

Make a bold impression by selecting lenses that contrast with your frames. Catch attention with vivid green frames paired with vibrant ruby lenses. Pink frames paired with eye-catching emerald tints will have the same dazzling effect. Or, for an even more daring combination, stand out by matching vivid amethyst lenses with subtle yellow frames. Let some of your quirky personality shine through and feel bold and confident enough to turn heads wherever you go.
