Upgrade Your Glasses: A Look at MOSCOT

I know you love your Ray Ban Wayfarers.  I love mine too.  The classic shades are everywhere these days and that’s fine, but it never hurts to try something new.  Why not switch things up with a new pair of shades this fall?  Enter Moscot Eyewear, who are making the same sunglasses that made guys like James Dean even cooler 50 years ago.  As today’s menswear aligns itself with American heritage, even sunglasses are getting an upgrade by looking back.  Back to the archives, that is.  Moscot has been making virtually the same eyewear in New York since 1913 when Hyman Moscot became The Guy in the neighborhood to get your glasses from.  Timeless style has never been more applicable then when browsing all the great styles Moscot has to offer.  While your Wayfarers take a much needed breather, let’s find your new pair of Moscots…

Nebb

If you just can’t shake the idea of black plastic frames, try The Nebb, arguably Moscots most famous model.

Nebb SE

For those feeling a little more adventurous, check out this awesome collaboration between Moscot and designer Benz whose use of color is the inspiration behind this update on Moscot’s classic.

Theroux

For something with a more substantial frame check out the Theroux.  One of Moscot’s newer models, these glasses are a faithful recreation of the iconic glasses actor Justin Theroux wears in Mulholland Drive.

Yukel

If thicker frames are not your speed, try the Yukel.  The clean lines and slimmer frame create a sophisticated silhouette favored by such iconic men as Malcolm X.

Lemtosh

For the more decidedly bold, a unique pair of sunglasses like Moscot’s Lemtosh model can instantly set you apart from the throngs of Wayfarer devotees.

Head over to Moscot.com for a look at these and tons of other cool, classic frames.  Moscot allows a level of customization lost on a lot of eyewear companies and they give you tons of lens and frame colors to mix and match.  As with buying any eyewear, confidence is key.  If you don’t feel like a badass in any of these shades, which is highly unlikely I might add, chances are you aren’t.
