Zimco Optics launches its R100 Series, a retro-inspired collection that appeals to both men and women. Made of TR190, the frames take their inspiration from such vintage looks as the classic cateye and traditional square, and rectangular designs updated with softened angles. Colors include muted shades of black, brown and gray, often fading to amber, crystal or blue.
