Raise Your Glass: New York’s Standout Specs
Photo: Bek Andersen
Since we’re just moments away from being ambushed with dark-lensed sunnies flooding the streets, we dedicate today’s street style to clear, optical lenses — ones that frame faces, make outfits pop, and keep your eyes in full view. Over the weekend, the Cut’s street-style photographer, Bek Andersen, snapped some New Yorkers wearing their best pairs. From delicate, translucent frames to a chunky, black pixelated style that looks straight out of an old-school video game, click through the slideshow to find your own inspiration.
