Spectacular Summer

Here at the Guide we are big fans of cool shades and spectacular spectacles. So when one of our favourite eyewear manufacturers, Warby Parker, releases their new summer styles, we take notice.

Effortless, laid-back style combined with keen pricing and a mission to do good have made this company an upstart entrant to the competitive arena of eyewear. The aesthetic is vintage-inspired with a contemporary twist – and the innovative Home Try-On program allows us to try five pairs before we buy. It’s an effective option, with our editorial staff owning several pairs of their classic frames.

The Summer 2014 styles are fantastic additions to an already varied range of eye- and sunglasses. And they even offer a Monocle for those budding aristocrat types.

Oh, and did we tell you that we are also big fans of their photography project…

So do we like Warby Parker? Absolutely – enough to give them our Recommended Seal of Approval.
