BCBG Berenice in Green Fade for women; it’s slightly funky yet wearable. The Boss 1040 in all colors for men. This is a well-built frame that looks good on anyone. In sun, the Maui Jim Kanaio Coast is the most popular style for men; it works under helmets and has great coverage. Also, the Maui Jim Hiwahiwa in green. It’s so cute I had to get it for myself. — Stephanie P., Mount Vernon, OH

- Lindberg N.O.W. products. The customization is amazing. — Steve B., Milwaukee, WI

- Safilo products are our biggest seller by far — our practice mostly sees ages 55 and up— particularly Emozioni and David Beckham. In suns, Tommy Hilfiger, the shapes are timeless classics. — Anne N., Glens Falls, NY
- The Krewe Carson in multiple colors. My favorite color they make the frame in is Heron, a beautiful tortoise-esque acetate with blue accents. In sunglasses, the Veronika Wildgruber Lane sun in Porcelain. — Kelsey B., Winston-Salem, NC
