Why men of a certain age are jazzing up their specs
There has been a striking development in men's style this summer — and if you've been in the vicinity of a gentleman who pays attention to these things, it may have been staring you in the face. A shacket, decent jeans and the right trainers have long been markers of a man looking to dress himself young. Now a pair of 'interesting' glasses is on his shopping list too.
Have you noticed? Men's opticals have had something of a — to use the Gen Z term — glow-up. If the styles Daniel Craig, Pedro Pascal and a number of my friends' sixtysomething fathers have traded their old specs in for lately are anything to go by, the days of inconspicuous shades for men are — for now — through.
