YOU’RE A HOLLY DAY
Not sure if we’ve seen this uplifted end detailing on a men’s frame since back in the days when Buddy Holly lead The Crickets to a brand new (that’ll be the) day of eyewear awareness. Safe to also say that Norm’s got the perfect chirp when it comes to making the right noise in men’s eyewear.

Hey Big Boss Man
That DEEP bridge says Eye’m serious about my eyewear making a bold statement. She agrees… and… may we note that she’s the Boss as well.

Long Live the King
Cazal. That’s right pal… CAZAL.

Zac-ly Right
Zac Posen is a perfectionist when it comes to the coordination of shape. It’s all in the drape. And the “drape” of this fresh P3 interpretation insists on a flattering flat zone on the top aspect of the frame front.

Join the Pros
An Our Eyewear brand that can lay claim to being main PROponents in the strident move toward men’s preferences in shapes, materials and colors. Hope, too, that we’ve proved our point with one of their “Designs” on our woman as well.

The Gold Standard

Fading Glory Anew
This resurging eyewear trend makes perfect opti-sense. Put on this frame… Glance downward…!!! Now I can see clearly… The Fade makes seamless sense.

Smoke on the Water
Fire in his eyes! The yellow-stained crystal look was once a mainstay for men. Varvatos turns up the volume to 11 on this classic eyewear tradition with a deft turn of details acknowledging its perfectly modern pitch.

Blue Condition
Official Announcement: Blue is the new Black. That’s something men’s fine suiting has always known in regard to tone. And… the deeper the hue… the better the you.

Tech Alert
Men still hold the high-tech and magic appeal of metal as eye/face faves when it comes to modern SPECulating.

Pocket this: Persol never makes a mistake when it comes to both style and sense. Its motorsport history proves that. Its iconic arrow points to that. So put that neatly in your pocket… and… on your face.
