A Gentleman’s Guide to the Holidays: Looking good with @Moscot
A Gentleman’s Guide to the Holidays is here. This special feature showcases my top holiday gift ideas of the year. Take it from me– I’m a dude, and I keep it classy like Ron Burgundy. It’s my mission to help guide you through the madness of the holiday season with a collection of simple, manly, and sophisticated products for the gentlemen in your life.
In this edition, I’m happy to present a longtime, family owned company that makes classic eyewear in the great city of New York. Since 1915, Moscot eyewear has been doing it right with a fascinating history- beginning with an Eastern European immigrant selling eyeglasses from a pushcart in the Lower East Side, before blossoming into an iconic NYC institution.
vintage Moscot via Instagram @moscotnyc Sometimes worn for sun protection, often worn because it’d be impossible to see anything without them. Whatever the reason, Moscot has always designed timeless frames for all occasions.
I’d like to introduce fellow gentleman and all around top-notch nice guy, Lance Lee, to show off two of my favorite frames from the Moscot Originals collection: YUKEL and LEMTOSH.
YUKEL by Moscot.
Fun fact: Lance loves books. 
His current favorite is “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” by Haruki Murakami 
This book is not by Murakami. LEMTOSH SAGE sunglasses by Moscot.
Fun fact: Lance hails from sunny California. 
Sunglasses are the norm in California because it’s so darn sunny all the time. 
“This way to the dunes, dude!” This collection is based on styles from the Moscot archives from 1930-1970 and retain the authenticity of the original frame styles from the lenses, down to the traditional hardware. Their throwback style pays homage to the old school eyewear first fabricated by the company in the 1940s.
Moscot Eyewear have three flagship shops in New York City and one in Seoul, South Korea. Their frames are also available at various retailers across the world. If you prefer the internet, moscot.com has got you covered.
A special thanks to Lance Lee for modeling these frames! Stay classy.

@Converse Eyewear??
Did you know that Converse does eyewear?? Converse is constantly rethinking and redesigning their products, so I guess it really shouldn’t be that surprising that they ALSO do eyewear…
Twilight Actor Ashley Greene was spotted wearing a pair of ombre Converse shades (Chorus in Orange Gradient)
Overtime “Caution Tape” shade for Summer 2012.“Converse eyewear, inspired by urban street wear, lets trendsetters of all ages express themselves. With styles ranging from oldies but goodies to hip new approaches, Converse represents all that’s fashionable in eyewear.”
“The American Dream” shades- Even Maria Menounos rocks Converse Eyewear!What do you think? Would you rock em’?

Event LOVE: @KayTranEyewear Launch
Last week, a number of us gathered at Pink Eye Optical on Queen street west, to celebrate the launch of the KayTran Eyewear Collection. We laughed, ate, drank wine and it’s safe to say that I tried on every single pair of the glasses that were on display. I loved all the different styles, and I especially loved the fit! You don’t realize how uncomfortable your regular glasses or sunglasses are, until you try on a pair of KayTran glasses.
Rocking a pair of KayTran glasses 🙂
LOOOOOVE these!
“Reduced lens + frame curvature prevent the edges of the frame from rubbing and resting against your cheekbones.”
“A narrowed bridge + elevated nose pads allow the frame to rest comfortably on your nose without the slipping and sliding.”
Hawley always looks so FLY!
Fun times with Septembre! Loving the “KayTran Fit!”
Oh my gawwwd!
“Widened temple angles open the space between the frame and your face, preventing marks and indents from forming on your cheeks.”
Jen’s shoes… so cute!
The lady of the hour!! Congratulations on an amazing collection Kathy 🙂
Congratulations to Kathy and her team on a successful launch, and an awesome collection! I have to find a way to get my hands on one, two… maybe three pairs of KayTran glasses!
peace and love
