There’s something about fall that makes us fall in love with color all over again.
Chocolate brown. Burgundy. Cognac. Deep navy. Peacock. Aubergine. The colors become richer, the textures become softer, and getting dressed becomes a little more interesting.
At Velvet Eyewear®, we’ve always believed eyewear should be part of that color story.
For Fall/Winter 2026, we’re looking at five sunglass colors we love—Burgundy, Navy, Mint, Tortoise and Blush—and pairing them with some of the season’s most beautiful fashion colors.
The combinations may surprise you.
And that’s part of the fun.
Burgundy + Cool Blue
Burgundy feels made for fall.
We especially love it paired with cool blue, slate and charcoal. The cooler tones let the richness of Burgundy stand out, while the frame adds warmth near the face.
It’s elegant, easy to wear and a beautiful way to bring deeper color into an everyday look.
Navy + Cognac
Navy and cognac are beautiful together.
There’s something about a deep Navy frame against warm cognac leather, camel or cream that feels effortless and polished.
The contrast gives both colors a chance to shine—and makes Navy an especially beautiful eyewear choice for a fall wardrobe filled with warm neutrals.
Mint + Chocolate
This one may be our favorite surprise of the season.
Mint with chocolate brown.
A soft Mint frame feels completely different surrounded by the deeper colors of fall. Against chocolate and espresso brown, Mint becomes sophisticated, fresh and wonderfully unexpected.
It’s also a perfect example of something we’ve always loved about color: the colors you wear around a frame can completely change the way you see it.
Tortoise + Peacock
Tortoise has always been beautiful for fall, and pairing it with Peacock gives it a fresh point of view.
Deep teal and blue-green bring out the warm amber and brown tones within the frame. With fall textures like wool, suede and cashmere, the combination feels especially rich.
A classic color, seen a little differently.
Blush + Aubergine
Blush takes on an entirely new personality for fall when it meets Aubergine.
The softness of the frame against deep plum, wine and berry tones creates a beautiful balance around the face. It feels feminine, sophisticated and just unexpected enough.
We love Blush year-round, but this may be one of our favorite ways to wear it.
Color Is Part of the Look
The best combinations aren’t always the most obvious ones.
Sometimes it’s the contrast between two colors that makes each one more beautiful.
Burgundy with cool blue.
Navy with cognac.
Mint with chocolate.
Tortoise with peacock.
Blush with aubergine.
That’s what we love about designing eyewear in color. A frame may be a small part of what you’re wearing, but because it sits right at the face, its color can change the feeling of the entire look.
