I May be getting older but I’ll be Looking Good Doing It.

You know one the true signs of aging is the need for glasses.  While my mom, dad and brother all wore glasses while I was growing up, I lucked out and didn’t need any until a few years ago.  First it started with readers to see the fine print and now I’ve moved on to real glasses which require a real prescription.

After visiting the eye doctor last year I was very disappointed in the frame styles available.  All of the style were either too ordinary or too old-fashioned.  There were only a few frames that hit the mark of being classic and fashionable and most of those were priced above $200.  Needless to say I walked out the office with a pair of glasses that were OK but not great and have been on the hunt for a pair of eyewear that will help me stay stylish as I get older.

And just when all hope was lost, I discovered Warby Parker! 

Have you heard of this awesome eyewear company before? 

The company was founded by 4 friends with a desire to make stylish eyewear that didn’t a fortune.  Many of their frame styles are priced at $95 which includes anti-reflective polycarbonate prescription lenses.  The Warby Parker collection is sold on-line and through select store fronts across the country but the part of the business I like most is the Home-Try On program.

Basically you can order 5 frames and have them sent to you at no-cost and with free shipping.  You have 5 days to try all your selections on, wear them and decided which one or more you love!  Once you’ve made your decision, you order your glasses at warbyparker.com and they’ll ship out right away.  All that’s left is for you to return the 5 Home Try-On frames with free return shipping.

I just love this concept and love the large selection of frames that Warby Parker has to choose from.

I love the Webb style because of its classic shape and beautiful tortoise coloration.

And how about this Watts frame in a modern shape and classic black color?

The company just introduced their Winter Collection which includes some of my favorite shapes.

Square is the new hip and this Nash frame is pretty chic in a sophisticated grey color mix.

I’m thinking a colored frame could be fun and I really like this Edgeworth style.

Or maybe this Chamberlain frame is the one.

Warby Parker also sells prescription sunglasses which are a must for reading at the beach during the summer.  These are the styles I’m considering….

Another notable thing Warby Parker is that they have a great DO GOOD program where for every pair of glasses sold a pair is donated to someone in need.

I may be getting older but I’ll be looking good doing it thanks to Warby Parker.
