Glasses Were the Coolest Accessory at Paris Men’s Fashion Week

A compulsory accessory, such as eyeglasses you wear to see, can be a simple vehicle to inject some personality into your day-to-day attire. A sleek suit and tie paired with, say, round tortoiseshell glasses can exude a sort of worldly, preppy romance, while the same outfit topped instead with aviator frames conveys a more shagadelic, put-together sexiness. Techy, rimless glasses with a slightly blue sheen on their lenses feel incredibly turn-of-the-millennium; topped with a leather jacket, and you may exude the sort of futuristic edge that makes you look like a cool hacker in a 2000s movie.

But if you are a stylish person who requires prescription eyewear, you also know how tough it can be to find great frames. Outside of the menswear shows at fashion week in Milan and Paris this month, our on-the-ground photographer, Christina Fragkou, captured plenty of stylish men who were really letting their optometric freak flags fly. Scroll on for some up-to-date, and very suave, eyewear inspiration.
