Girls get all the cool shit. Fancy shoes. Fancy purses. Bajillions of accessories. Boobs.
What do guys get? Watches, tattoos and glasses. Everything else is just a variation on something relatively boring. Unless you’re a short asian kid with a hip-hop obsession, then you get to have a closet full of rare Nikes that are REALLY impressive…to other collectors…
But I found that the right pair of eye-glasses can cut through the wash of fashion mediocrity of Gap khakis and oxford shirts and make an otherwise shit-tastic fashion statement suddenly look a little more interesting. Enter Moscot, from New York. These glasses are great because they are bold, only available at Moscot, and most guys wouldn’t wear these. I have 2 pair - 1 for sunglasses. They aren’t as trite as Ray-Bans, but they will lead to one of the most fashionable people I’ve ever seen at any tech tradeshow walk up to me and ask me about my “great glasses”. He was wearing Dolce and Gabana frames, which were also nice. He was stunned that he didn’t know about Moscot, and he had a Brooklyn accent.
They also lead to moments where your smart-ass kids are watching Waynes World and say, “Hey dad, Garth is wearing your glasses.” Or when they watched Austin Powers and the six year old said, “Dad, he has your glasses.”
Stupid kids.

Matt added these pithy words on Dec 19 08 at 6:30 pmI love Moscots. I actually live down the street from their store in the LES NYC and have been there several times.
Unfortunately, the originals don’t fit my oddly shaped head / face…
