Moscot Moments

They say eyes are the window to the soul, so if you’re going to cover them up with sunglasses,  it should at least be with a pair of sunglasses that represents who you are! There’s no denying the practical importance of sunglasses. All you have to do is forget your pair on a bright day to remember just how beneficial they are. That said, sunglasses are so much more than just a practical accessory. Your sunglasses are a small representation of you—a fashion statement you’re making to world almost every single day. That’s why it’s so important to find the perfect pair of sunglasses. There are several factors that need to be considered when selecting the ideal sunglasses for your face. These include face size, face shape, color, and style, among several others. Take a look at the guide below to help you figure out the best sunglasses for your face!   Sunglasses Size One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a pair of sunglasses is the size. Wearing sunglasses that are too wide or too narrow can give the illusion that your eyes are too close together or too far apart, respectively. At MOSCOT, we offer sunglasses in three sizes—narrow, average, and wide—so that everyone can find the pair that best fits their face and head size.   Narrow Our narrow sunglasses range from 42mm to 45mm wide. They are ideal for those with slimmer faces.   Average Our average sunglasses range from 46mm to 49mm wide. This is the size most MOSCOT customers choose. If you are unsure about the size of your face, this size may be the best selection for you.   Wide Our wide sunglasses are 50mm wide. These sunglasses are perfect for those with broader faces.   Choosing Sunglasses Based on Face Shape     Once you’ve determined the ideal sunglasses for the size of your face, the next thing you need to consider is the shape of your face. Faces can be oval, square, round, or heart shaped. Here at MOSCOT, we offer glasses that fit each of these. Heart Heart-shaped faces have foreheads and jawlines of similar width, where the cheekbones taper into the jawline and a narrow chin. Sunglasses for heart-shaped faces can be found here! Oval Oval faces have a forehead and jawline that are similar in width, with both a rounded jaw and rounded chin. Explore our selection of sunglasses for oval faces here. Square Square faces are defined by a forehead and jawline of similar widths, with wide cheekbones and a notably square chin. Sunglasses for square-shaped faces can be found here! Round Round faces have foreheads and jawlines of equal width, with wide cheekbones and rounded chins. Check out our range of sunglasses for round faces here.   Choosing Sunglasses Based on Skin Tone       When it comes to selecting the color of your sunglasses—both frame and lenses—you should consider the tone of your skin. Skin tones can be either cool or warm, and figuring out which type of skin tone you have is key to selecting the right sunglasses for you.  Cool Skin Tones A cool skin tone can be determined if you get sunburnt easily; turn red instead of tan; have blue, green, or gray eyes; or if the veins under your skin appear as blue. People with a cool skin tone should try sunglass frames that are black, dark tortoise shell, green, purple, blue, or silver. Lens colors to consider include darker shades, blue, and silver.   Warm Skin Tones A warm skin tone is defined by tanned skin, brown or hazel eyes, and veins that appear green in color under the skin. People with warm skin tones should consider sunglass frames that are brown, lighter tortoise shell, beige, red, orange, gold, or yellow. Lens colors ideal for warm skin tones include bright colors that pop.    Sunglasses Style As we mentioned above, sunglasses should reflect your personal style as well as the statement you want to make to the world! We offer a variety of sunglasses designs to suit people of all different styles. These include downtown vibes, the bold look, and understated sunglasses.   Downtown Downtown vibe sunglasses include frames that are artistic and creative looking, the perfect selection for those looking to capture that Lower East side look!   Bold Looking for something with a little more pop? Our Bold Sunglasses are the perfect accessory for those who want their frames to scream!   Understated Alternatively, if you prefer your frames to whisper instead of scream, the Understated Look is perfect for you!     Nose Bridge Fits Finally, the last thing you need consider when selecting the perfect pair of sunglasses is how high up that they will fit on your face. We offer a selection of nose pads to meet the needs of people with nose bridges of all sizes so that your sunglasses don’t sit too high or low on your face. These include acetate, step-down, and metal.   Acetate Nose Pads Acetate nose pads offer a comfortable, classic fit for those who have average sized nose bridges.   Step-Down Nose Pads Our step-down nose pads are similar to our acetate nose pads in appearance. However, they offer additional support for those who have less prominent nose bridges.   Metal Nose Pads Our metal nose pads are made from silicone, offering a soft, flexible fit. Metal nose pads are ideal for those needing additional support for less prominent nose bridges.   Trying on Sunglasses Online As you can see, a lot of factors need to be considered when selecting the perfect pair of sunglasses for your face. That’s why it’s so important to try on several pairs of sunglasses before you make your selection. Unfortunately, not everyone has time to head into a brick-and-mortar MOSCOT shop, which is why we offer a virtual try-on option for our most popular frames. Head over to our virtual studio to see how you look in your favorite pair of sunglasses right from the comfort of your own home! This is the ideal way to shop for those wanting to buy sunglasses online. Choosing the perfect pair of sunglasses can take some time. After all, there are several factors that need to be taken into consideration. But once you do find your perfect pair of MOSCOT sunglasses, you’ll be happy you took the time to do so. So, check out our selection of sunglasses and find your perfect set today! For a more in-depth look at finding the perfect fit and style, take a look at our glasses Style & Fit Guide here.

MOSCOT teams up with fellow New York City native apparel and lifestyle brand, Saturdays NYC, for an exclusive summer sunglass style. Inspired by the shared deep-rooted New York City heritage and active urban lifestyle, The MOSCOT x Saturdays NYC collaboration features one signature sunglass model called The TOMO. “‘TOMO’, which means ‘friend’ in Japanese, is a name that perfectly reflects our friendship as brands, and of our patrons that appreciate what MOSCOT & Saturdays offers,” shares Chief Design Officer and 5th Generation, Zack Moscot. He adds, “the partnership was sparked as a celebration of New York centric brands representing active city culture. This was a natural fit given the similarities of the brands and our customers who appreciate our craftsmanship, heritage, and true New York narrative.” Staying true to MOSCOT’s heritage design, The TOMO SUN is made from acetate with a wrap-around frame front featuring three dot rivets, unique beveling and no exposed hardware, paddle temples with grips, a saddle bridge, and real seven-barrel hinges. With a subtle “wrap” used for sports and to protect from the sun and wind, the new frame can be categorized as a face-form style. Authentically capturing the textures, details, sounds and style of true urban escapism, the campaign accompanies model, and long-time friend of both brands, Danny DiMauro out to New York’s Rockaway Beach for an early morning surf session. Rounding out the collaborative partnership, The MOSCOT x Saturdays Surf Spotify playlist provides breezy beats for an endless summer chosen by members of each team. The TOMO SUN will release as a limited 150-unit batch exclusively available online and in-stores at MOSCOT and Saturdays NYC. The specialty frame is made in two Classiconic™ MOSCOT colors: Shiny Black with G15 Glass Lenses and Dark Havana with Chestnut Fade Tinted Lenses and comes with a custom co-branded chamois.

When purchasing a new pair of sunglasses there are several factors to consider relating to fit and style, including sunglass shape, size, and lens material. While now less common due to weight and expense, there are various advantages of real glass lenses to keep in mind. Glass lenses are a classic choice and provide optimal visual clarity, glare reduction, and little to no distortion. Mineral glass lenses are also scratch resistant and provide long-lasting color as the tint is embedded in the crystal and does not change or oxidize over time like a plastic tint can. Regular plastic eyeglass lenses block most UV light, but mineral glass lenses provide an added boost of UV protection. MOSCOT Original Sunglasses feature authentic mineral glass lenses from the good ol’ days retaining the authenticity of the original frame styles that precisely duplicate the true old-school colors first fabricated by the Company in the 1940s. MOSCOT offers six original glass lens colors: G15, Calibar Green, Cosmitan Brown, Grey, Blue, and Yellow in many MOSCOT Original frames.  Fun fact: Glass lenses were the first lenses used… Good ole Ben Franklin fused two pieces of glass together to make the first bifocals! “Back in the day, my Dad (Joel, 3G) and his father (Sol, 2G) used to only grind glass prescription lenses, which needed to be treated to make them shatterproof. One of my earliest memories working with my family was placing these glass lenses into the case hardening machine, which was a special oven that heated the glass lenses to extreme temperatures. After all these years, we’re still doing it the old-school way!” – Dr. Harvey Moscot, 4th Generation Shop real glass lenses now!
