Modern Eye

Don’t let their plaid shirts, skinny jeans and fast-talking ways fool you: The hip staffers at Modern Eye aren’t too cool to be friendly, funny and honest — important qualities when you’re looking for help choosing an accessory for your face. Their selection is thoughtful: Conservatives can go for square mahogany frames; statement-makers like the bright colors and chunkier specs from European designers like Minima and Markus T; and glam fans are able to stock up on Gucci shades.
