Writer and Call Your Girlfriend podcast host Aminatou Sow was one of the first people that came to mind when we started thinking about cool-glasses wearers - and luckily, Sow was willing to fill us in on her bold round frames’ origin. “I love them both for style (they aren’t boring, but they go with everything) and wearability (they kinda disappear so I feel less like I am wearing blinders),” Corsillo says. This pair - sans tortoiseshell stems -has the same shape and comes in an “antique crystal” shade. “I have wasted a lot of money trying to find what works both for my face and my prescription, so now I only go to the SEE Eyewear in Soho - the staff is super-friendly and helpfully realistic when it comes to which frames will work with my coke-bottle lenses.” Corsillo’s current pair - which have clear frames with tortoiseshell stems - are no longer available on SEE’s website. When Corsillo looks for a new pair of frames, she has to find ones that can support the thicker lenses that come with her prescription - so going frameless or with a delicate frame is largely out of the question. “Without glasses or contact lenses I cannot see anything clearly until it is about an inch away from my face, which means my choice of glasses is frustratingly limited,” she says. Strategist senior writer Liza Corsillo is also in the clear-frames club, and says that the only place she’ll go for eyeglasses is SEE.
