I'm forever on the prowl for interesting, affordable specs. Always leery of the boring, generic metal wire glasses that were all the rage when I was a child (yes, I'm the girl that would walk around squinting rather than pacify my strained peepers), I'm loving the spate of (let's be honest) hipster-i-fied, funky frames. Say what you will about their tired fashion movement, this is one of those trends that just won't go away - and I'm all-out embracing it.
I've been wearing Warby Parker's Fillmore in Tennessee Whiskey for a few years now and, I have to say, I get a ton of compliments on them. But, fickle creature that I am, of course, I've been wanting something new, something exciting.
Enter Lookmatic. I forgot I had heard about the site a few years ago, but was recently reintroduced to them when I saw a photo of my girl crush, Rashida Jones, wearing a great pair at a recent event. Similar premise - stylish prescription glasses for $95.00. Offbeat designs, fashionable sunglasses - all at prices that don't hurt your wallet. But what I really enjoy about their product is that most of their frames are unisex! I am so into the Woody (above) - oversized thin, black rims that look fantastic on both men and women. And, even cooler, their website has a 3D Live Virtual Try-On - using your webcam, you can 'try on' any pair and see how they work at any angle.
Every girl needs options, and for days when you want to channel a hot librarian, or throw on your skinnies and do it up all Williamsburg style, Lookmatic is definitely the way to go.
Hipsters, I salute you.
