People sometimes look at me incredulously when I tell them that I pretty much order all of my prescription eyeglass and sunglass needs online. It really is so easy; most sites offer generous return policies as well, so if your frames look straight up goofy on you — you can return/exchange for another more face-flattering pair. As a rule of thumb, go with what works for your face, opposed to what is the latest trend in eyewear; you will certainly be happier with them in the long run. One silhouette that looks fabulous on a variety of face shapes, both men and women, is the classic aviator.
Courtesy of the brand, I tested a pair of the Firmoo Metal Aviator Sunglasses with my subscription in the lens. The glasses arrived with a hard case, a soft case, a cleaning cloth, and a repair kit, and I wore them for an outdoor lunch at Union Square this week. Fashion, let me introduce you to function; I can now see clearly, and look stylish, when the sun is shining outside!
