Let’s get one thing clear: if Dorothy Parker had lived tosee Warby Parker’s new 2013 Winter Collection, she would have never uttered herfamous phrase, “Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses.”
Not that we hang our hats on what boys think, but it’s justfact that Warby Parker’s rustic-meets-modern collection is so stylish thatany guy we’d even consider would definitely want to see a pair on his bedsidetable, if you know what we mean. (You do.)
We shared most of our favorite things about the new collection a few weeks ago: six new shapes, five new colors, each for just $95 each (whichincludes prescription lenses). But we wanted to take a moment to just obsess over two morethings: their new two-toned acetate frames and the fact that when you give aWarby Parker gift card, it arrives with a Make-a-Snowman Kit they'll love tounwrap.
First, the Make-a-Snowman Kit. Sometimes even though we loveto give gift cards because even though it means our friends and family get to chooseexactly what they want, it feels a little lame since there’s nothing to unwrap. That's not a problem if you give a physical Warby Parker gift card. It comes with a bonus Make-a-Snowman Kit containing all the ingredients forbuilding a frozen friend.
Sure, it might be hardwork rolling up those balls of snows, but once your friend applies the coaleyes (fake, but convincing, for environmental friendliness), blue buttons, andtops it all off with the adorable carrot nose, she’ll have the most stylishsnowman to ever exist.
And while your loved one can choose any style, can we just say how much we love Warby Parker’s two-toned acetateframes? They’re alittle bookworm, a little carefree, and even though they’re universallyflattering, we get the sense not just any girl is going to have the guts to putthese on and pull them off--and that makes us love them that much more.
Saddle Sage, shown above on the Chamberlain frames, is a two-toned acetate witha translucent sage down below and a streaked woodsy hue on top.
Saddle Russet, shown above on the Durand frames, is verysimilar, but with a translucent russet bottom.
You probably want a pair for yourself, but let’s pretendthis is still about your friends and family. Once they receive the gift card,it will be super-easy for them to see which ones work best for them because WarbyParker has an awesome FREE Home Try-On program.
They can choose up to five pairs of frames, and Warby Parkerwill send them in the mail so they can model them for anyone and everyone who willlook. After all, it’s your duty as a friend to help those you love pick out themost stylish and flattering pair.
And that won’t be hard because there are so many styles welove. We pretty much want them all, which is why a gift card to Warby Parkerwould make an amazing present for almost anyone on your list. And by “anyone,”we mean “us,” but you figured that out already, didn’t you?
