Warby Parker’s New Eye-Catching 2017 Collections

Four-eyed friends, rejoice! Warby Parker has released its first collection of 2017 and unlike most spectacle robber barons, these glasses start at just $95 for frames and lenses.

The new Spring collections are bold takes on classic designs and will perfectly frame your 2017-edition face.

The new styles are in keeping with the company’s aesthetic of modern twists on classic frames. The Moore frames, for example, hint at the 1970s with big, wide lenses and a flat brow, but you won’t look like an extra from That 70s Show. The Durand lenses are about as traditional as you can get with their big rounded lens, but with that Warby Twist: two toned-colors.

Sure, you can opt for the traditional tortoiseshell for the traditional frame, but why not go for blue on top or clear on the bottom? Or even tortoiseshell and with red edges? If you’re going to wear the frames all the time, they might as well have some personality.

Or, if metal is more your style, hang on until February when Warby Parker releases their new metal frame collection for both glasses and sunglasses. With clean designs and metal accents, you’re sure to turn heads. Take the nod to the 80s and 90s with the Bennett sunglasses: ink brushed metal and colorful mirrored lenses, and a double brow bar. All other sunglasses will pale in comparison to your hip defense against UV light.

Warby Parker makes it ridiculously easy to try on all the new styles with home try-ons. Pick out five at a time and for no cost, the frames arrive at your home or office. Try them on with different outfits, poll your friends, and send them back in the pre-paid box. Or, if you live in any of these states, head on down to their stores and try everything on!

Wristwatch, Watch, Strap

Nashville watchmaker Weiss Watch Company has teamed up with fellow Music City residents imogene + willie on a limited-edition release. It's snazzy, it's automatic, and it is officially up for sale.

The i+w x Weiss 38mm automatic 002 is a clean, classic-looking field watch with a single complication — a date window down at the 6 o'clock position — and is the second collab between the two brands.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of
Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric
Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves

Peserico drops spring and summer looks in their backyard during Fashion Week
Italian staple makes news at Milan Fashion Week with their SS27 collection
Sewing, Body Part, Finger

Milan Fashion Week showed out as usual, with designers from around the world coming together to showcase what they have in store for us purveyors of menswear. Of course, the usual suspects were in attendance with the ability to continue legacies and further movements. The big ones are the ones I have been reporting here for a while now. Browns and more browns seem to remain the industry's call. Canali took it further with a spice theme, which doubled down on the color theme while deepening it. Prada took the simplistic classic aesthetics we've been seeing to what I assume is their logical conclusion. "Doing more with nothing." Continuing a theme we saw at Pitti Uomo last week, Brioni focused on the ideas of personalization and customization, bringing out the personality of your looks. And finally, Dinhill wrote a love letter to the blue blazer, calling into focus their love for the English gentleman. Out of all these campaigns, one that stood out to me was the SS27 launch from Peserico. An Italian classic with decades of quality showing off in its own backyard.

A timeless aesthetic
