Lindberg Richelle — it’s what I wear! The Garrett Leight Boon in all sizes and colors, the Vernon Gantry Marc, and the Garrett Leight Kinney. In sun, the Ørgreen Libra … that gold mirror! — Jennifer Stewart, OD, Norwalk Eye Care, Norwalk, CT
- Carolina Herrera is a new line to us since in Mid-October, and it took off immediately because of the classic colors, effortless dressy look, and slightly larger but mostly not huge frame styles. Kate Spade suns sell well here because they have several styles in a large modified square classic shape with slightly wider temples for sun protection in classic colors. Anne Nellis, 20/20 Optical, Glens Falls, NY
