For those who, like myself, have been overwhelmed by the amount of sunglasses sold at retail, it is time to take a deep breath and review our options during this long hot summer. For most men, I would suggest to do the following when purchasing sunglasses. Firstly, look for a style that is masculine and unobtrusive and secondly, seek out the best grip for your face. The same applies fir women aside from the masculine part unless that is your style. Too many times we are sidetracked into purchasing the wrong pair simply because we do not follow our own instincts. Don’t get me wrong, there are many fashion forward guys that can pull off some great colored frames and tinted lenses. Nevertheless, I assure you, keep the glasses in line with who you are and you will look like a million bucks.
Sunglasses are sexy and cool. They should be sexy and cool and that is not something to shy away from. I recently came across Vint & York sunglasses founded in 2012 by Larisa Ginzburg. The brand is a New York based eyewear company specializing in vintage-inspired and retro glasses and sunglasses that has attracted actors Alan Cummings and Anne Hathaway.
Inspired by the zeitgeist of the 1920s, Vint & York’s frames feature bold silhouettes, textures and eye-catching colors while still capturing the style, spirit and good, old-fashioned American ingenuity of a time nearly 100 years past. Vint & York turns iconic rounded and aviator glasses on their ears, opting for bright colors over neutrals and modifying classic frame shapes to provide a fresh take. A perfect collection for those looking for a modern twist on retro styles.
All frames can be ordered as sunglasses. To better reach the international market, the brand offered worldwide shipping. All of the frames are designed in New York, and made from high-quality acetateand ultra lightweight titanium that’s as durable as it is stylish, comparable to the weight of high-fashion frames. The eyeglasses and sunglasses collections vary: there are frame styles and colors to suit all tastes and characters – from the classic rectangle styles to the daring and flamboyant 60’s inspired cat-eye glasses. What is refreshing about the experience is that eyewear consultants will help you choose the best styles that suit your face, style and personality. All work is done by onsite lab. Licensed opticianswill fill all types of prescriptions including single vision, progressive, prescription sunglasses and beyond.
