A hat, for example, looks fantastic with the Vint & York Astor’s narrow frames . A cap would look equally as dashing.

Your eyeglasses may end up in your bag without a case, or in other places where they can be damaged — like on your face after you fall asleep. Choosing a strong frame is a wise idea to ensure your glasses stand up to whatever comes their way.
