SON OF SUNS

Increasingly, sunwear impacts the look of Rx frames. Armani tunes in, covering that formula.

Men’s eyewear is powerful in impact on all arenas of frame style and substance. As the choice of colors has evolved, so too has the criteria of sizing. Blue has escalated into that classic realm once dominated by black and tortoise. And dramatic bold shapes and sizes are now co-existing with a renewed surge toward minimal and svelte sizing. The domain of sunwear defaults to that mainstay of classic aviator and double bridge formations shared equally and assertively by optical eyeglasses. Guys seem to get it. But… so does everyone… as men’s eyewear exclaims, “Man, O Man!”
