Oliver Peoples Alter-Ego

HE ASKMEN TAKE

This item appears in our Fall Fashion Preview 2009.

Choosing good eyewear is as important as choosing anything in your wardrobe. After all, your eyeglasses sit right on your most visible asset -- your face. These classic frames from Oliver Peoples can do no wrong: they are sharp enough to be worn with a tuxedo and durable enough to be worn to the gym. This is a perfect all-around frame for the perfect all-around man.

UNIQUENESS

While the style of the Oliver Peoples Alter Ego won’t set the fashion world aflame, they are distinguished and subtly unique. They feature interesting tapered arms that fit snugly into a laminated temple-end. They are also designed with a smaller fit in mind and give off an understated look on the face, which is contrary to the current trend of oversize plastic frames.

DURABILITY

All Oliver Peoples eyeglasses are designed and handmade in Japan. It is the legendary style and durability of its glasses that have elevated Oliver Peoples to the highest level of acceptance for any fashion item: popularity in Hollywood. Oliver Peoples’ frames can be found on everyone from Brad Pitt to Angelina Jolie, and the Alter Ego model has a great look, so, you're sure to be seeing them on the red carpet soon. They feature reinforced hypoallergenic titanium temples, so even if Oliver Peoples becomes passe, the Alter Ego will still be standing strong on your face.
