Superhero-Inspired Eyewear

The Man of Steel Collection from Warby Parker Disguises and Surprises

— May 27, 2013 — Marketing
In anticipation of the new Superman movie, eyewear designer Warby Parker has released a Man of Steel collection to transform the average pedestrian into Clark Kent himself.

The collection features strong black frames that acknowledge the mainstreaming of thick-rimmed glasses from hipster culture. The Chamberlain design features a square shape for an angular face while the Percy pair offers a rounder frame for a wider face.

Superman is without question a strikingly handsome masculine figure. The of Steel collection channels this macho man vibe by using its thick dark frames to highlight chiseled jawlines and vibrant eyes. These frames are unforgettable and will definitely catch the eye of some lovely Lois Lanes.

Even if you don't have incredible superpowers, the Man of Steel collection will make you feel every bit the immortal superhero.
