Warby Parker – Literary and Lovely

Good morning lovely readers!!!

Today Warby Parker releases its Summer 2017 collection of sunglasses, and I am helping announce it!!!

I consider sunglasses to be a staple summer accessory, wearing them religiously to protect my retinas, and I literally leapt with excitement when I saw the designs and colours in this collection.

Before I delve into praises, a little bit about Warby Parker the brand. This company was started by college students who recognized the limited availability of eyewear that was both stylish and affordable. Having worn glasses since the young age of 5, I have experienced this same problem, often having to choose between frames that fit my budget and frames that fit my personal sense of style. Warby Parker frames combine these two elements of eyewear in numerous designs for both prescription glasses and sunglasses. Not only that, but for every pair of glasses sold, Warby Parker donates a pair to someone in need. Currently, Warby Parker stores are located in 22 states and in Ontario, Canada, but of course they can be shopped for online and tried on at home.

Now onto the collection. This collection features 12 new frame styles inspired by 1960s fashion. Drawing inspiration from this decade during which pricy couture was replaced by cheap casual wear seems quite apropos given Warby Parker’s mission to design mod yet reasonably priced eyewear. The vibrant yet sun-soaked hues of this collection’s palette are absolutely gorgeous, including weathered wood, beach grass, taupe and rose crystals, and, of course, ever-classic black.
These Summer-of-Love-esque frames inspired me to put together a few outfits I think would look perfect with them, and helped curb my excitement to get my hands on a pair or two (or four . . . )
