Brand To Know: Warby Parker
Thanks to the emergence of sites like Eyebobs to Shuron.com, The Web has become a rich source of high-quality, low-cost eyewear. Most guys, however, remain wary of shopping online for something that's destined for their face. Enter Warby Parker, a new site that will send you up to five samples at no charge. "When you decide which pair suits you best, mail back all the samples (again, no charge) and they'll return your pair of choice with the prescription lenses in place," explains GQ. How much will a pair of Warby frames -- including prescription lenses -- set you back. Just $95! For fit and style tips, you might refer back to GQ.Key fit tips:
- Glasses should be about the same width as your face.
- The top of your frames should hit at your eyebrows.
- Glasses should obviously fit at the bridge of your nose.
