Eyewear today should be vintage inspired but modern. Consider a square-framed style or even a circular one, depending on the shape of your face, in bold and well-defined contours. For a prep disposition, tortoise shell is always a good bet, but black is modern, explicit and versatile. It goes with everything and fluidly transitions from work to weekend. If you’re adventurous, consider crystal or clear frames. These can work quite effectively.
Some eyewear retailers to keep on your radar:
Warby Parker is a vintage inspired eyewear company that challenges the triple digit price that we have been accustomed to forking out.
For $95 you can get a pair of handsome frames that will not break the bank. This includes a prescription lens and lots of good will—the company donates a pair on your behalf when you purchase a pair for yourself.
Another name to consider is Moscot. The global lifestyle brand of one hundred years of heritage brings iconic styles that are made by tastemakers for tastemakers. Much of the frames haven’t changed since their inception from back I the day.
Truman Capote and Johny Depp, to name a few, are big Moscot fans.
