you know that times have changed and specs can be very cool. there has needed to be an attitude change when you consider the cash spent on jewellery which sits on your finger or wrist, compared to specs which frame your eyes.
we suggest that you regard the purchase of new frames as a serious fashion investment and get to london to ensure a wise choice.. there are great provincial opticians, but consider whether they are likely to stock the frame designers’ full range of size and colour options per model. london stores can not hold entire ranges either (eg for alain mikli you would need to go to one of their own stores outside uk), but there is more chance.
we have referenced preferred opticians with addresses which allow you to visit them all on one day to make your crucial purchase decision.
40 years of frame design and very chic. they distribute throughout the world, however you can visit their two stores in knightsbridge, of which one stocks new made vintage designs. their frames are not cheap, but they ooze quality, timeless design and for those who do want pranda or gucci on their side arms, cutler and gross refrain from such.
a cool small chain of opticians. not stuffy, they have really good selections and staff who actually know their stuff. it is worth asking their advice regarding how a frame looks on you. unlike many stores you will get an honest and knowledgeable answer.
a frame designer and manufacturer with their own shop in covent garden.
Their website is not particularly fast or easy, however the designs are edgy and can be adapted for you.
your pair of kirk originals, as the name implies, are unlikely to be seen being worn by someone else.
this optician provides great personal service as only the japanese can, with particular expertise in ensuring your frames fit comfortably. their range always includes very stylish frames. unfortunately their website is only in japanese.
an oxford street store with an impressive selection of cool and difficult to find frames.
oversized sunglasses are glamorous but aviators are again chic. one brand has stood the test of time, ray-ban, which is hotter now more than ever. check out their model aviator large metal rb3025 and more importantly, check out who is wearing them.
