The AYGEN All eyes on The AYGEN, a modern take on the classic eyebrow frame that’s no doubt easy on the peepers, we must add. With its timeless silhouette and a wink to old school MOSCOT charm, this frame mixes smarts, style, and the right amount of sophistication. It’s built to turn heads - no extra effort required! The JARED With familiar hints of The FRANKIE, The JARED is classic in its shape, but with added height and a bit more ‘tude…but still really nice and polite. The MIZER Don’t let the name fool ya! The MIZER may sound like it pinches pennies, but man is it loaded with style. Inspired by Samuel Kaufman, a true-blue Lower East Side regular known for hagglin’ hard and never leavin’ without a good deal, this frame is bold, built to last, and worth every cent. A smart pick for folks who know value when they see it! The PLOTZ Careful now… you just might PLOTZ. Taking cues from the beloved MAZEL, this octagonal stunner blows the bottom out (literally) giving you a bold look with nothin’ to hold it back. Rimless and impossible to contain, The PLOTZ is all finesse, no boundaries. One look and boom, you’re smitten. Hey, we warned ya! THE UTZ From YUTZ to KLUTZ… and now, The UTZ. Don’t get annoyed – we couldn’t help ourselves. Sure, the name might bring to mind someone who’s a little clumsy or a little pesky, but there’s nothin’ dopey about this frame. With a silhouette that’s sharp, stylish, and anything but bothersome, The UTZ proves that even a tease can be timeless. Consider this your not-so-gentle nudge into standout style. THE ZISSEL Sometimes it’s the sweetest of styles that pack the most punch! The ZISSEL, with its raw cuts, sharp silhouette, and bold personality proves that point. A little loud and impossible to ignore – this frame doesn’t ask for attention, it commands it. So go ahead, underestimate it… we dare ya!

MARTY SUPREME AND THE RETURN TO 94 RIVINGTON STREET: MOSCOT ON THE BIG SCREEN

2025년 12월 22일
It’s not every day that your corner of New York history gets the silver screen treatment – but Marty Supreme is no ordinary film. Set in the 1950s, Marty Supreme – directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow – takes audiences back to a bygone New York, where pushcarts and delis, crowded sidewalks and storefronts buzzed with character. For MOSCOT, a five-generation family business born and bred on the Lower East Side, it’s a powerful tribute to the era – and the neighborhood – where it all began. MOSCOT. 94 Rivington Street. Center Stage. More than just a backdrop, MOSCOT – or more specifically, MOSCOT’s legendary optical shop at 94 Rivington Street – plays a visible role in Marty Supreme. In scenes grounded in the grit and charm of downtown Manhattan, you’ll catch glimpses of our early storefront – a modest but mighty symbol of the American Dream, one lens at a time. Hyman opened up shop on Rivington in 1915 after years of selling ready-made glasses from a pushcart on Orchard. By the 1950s, MOSCOT had become a fixture in the neighborhood – known for quality eyewear, straight talk, and a front window that always drew a crowd. That same spirit lives on in Marty Supreme, where the Shop stands as a touchstone of community and craft. Why the Lower East Side Still Matters Beyond the nostalgia, what makes Marty Supreme so exciting for us is its love letter to a neighborhood we’ve never left. The Lower East Side is more than a setting – it’s our soul. It's where Hyman Moscot began in 1899 with nothing but a pushcart and a pair of steady hands. It’s where he made the business official. And it’s where we’ve stayed – still family-owned, still independent, still designing from downtown. As Marty Supreme prepares for its big premiere, we’re reminded that some things never go out of style: a strong sense of place, a commitment to craft, and a good pair of glasses. Planning to Watch? Here's How to Get the Look Inspired by the style of Marty Supreme? You’re not alone. Here are a few MOSCOT frames to channel your inner Marty: The MILTZEN – Originally introduced in the 1930s and still a bestseller today, this rounded frame speaks to the era’s intellectual energy. The LEMTOSH – A post-war classic with a strong browline and timeless appeal, worn by artists, actors, and legends alike. The KUGEL – A pared-down P3 shape made from lightweight metal and acetate, perfect for recreating that 1940s look with Lower East Side authenticity. The MOYEL – A frame full of grit, charm, and personality – just like Marty himself. The SIMCHA – A frame that doesn’t hide your face, perfect for someone with heart – and a little chutzpah. The SMENDRIK – Don’t let the name fool ya! This vintage-inspired metal frame is as sharp as they come. Final Cut: From Orchard Street to Opening Night At MOSCOT, we’ve seen a lot of stories unfold from behind the counter – but seeing our little corner of history on the big screen is something special. As Marty Supreme invites a new generation to experience the sights, sounds, and spirit of 1950s Lower East Side life, we’re honored to be part of the narrative. So whether you’re watching for the plot, the style, or the setting – keep your eyes peeled. You just might spot a familiar facade... and the beginning of something eye‑conic.

THE FALL 2025 COLLECTION

2025년 12월 11일
Introducing the Fall 2025 Collection: a celebration of the New Yorkers who capture the essence of the city MOSCOT calls home. With five new frames that blend bold design and timeless style, this collection honors those who breathe life into the city’s narrative, turning history into a vibrant, living tale. MOSCOT, the five-generation family-owned eyewear brand rooted in Manhattan's Lower East Side, proudly unveils its Fall 2025 Collection: “Living History.” This season celebrates the individuals who make New York what it is. From storytellers, creators, to visionaries, these are the people who don’t just live in the city, but shape its very identity. New York wouldn’t be New York without New Yorkers – and MOSCOT is honored to be among them adding its own legacy to this living history. This season introduces five new frames that bring together bold design, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless style. Each one tells a unique story – one that pays tribute to the individuals who have shaped New York, while adding to the city’s ever-evolving narrative. The COSNIC: Big frames may steal the spotlight, but The COSNIC doesn’t need to yell to be heard. Small, sleek, and as thin as its patience, this perfectly circular frame is a tiny titan with sharp style. Give it up for The COSNIC – compact, classic, and all attitude. The FEVEL: Take your eyewear game to the next level with The FEVEL, a design that’s as stylish as it is brilliant. Made from premium acetate and raised diamond rivets, it’s a look so smart you could ace a quiz show, win at chess in three moves, and split an atom all in time for lunch. The SHTUP: Fresh off the boat from Cuba, Luis Mendoza made his mark on Orchard Street every holiday season in the 50s. Dressed in his colorful guayaberas and wrap-around frames as loud as his laugh, Luis was impossible to miss – and even harder to resist. Whether it was the ladies or the fellas, everyone was down to SHTUP! The SPILKES: Finally, an antidote to that “oh no, did I leave the stove on” feeling! Take the edge off in the bevel-edged SPILKES! Built with our signature thick block acetate, this bold, chunky frame will keep you grounded. The TRAIF: Picture this: it’s 1972 on Orchard Street and Benny “The Bluff” Rosenberg, with his makeshift three card monte table, is packin’ up his rig faster than you could say chutzpah. Funky, fearless, and just a little offbeat, The TRAIF captures the spirit of a street where everyone hustled and had a story to tell – even if it wasn’t strictly kosher.

THE BEST GLASSES FOR OBLONG FACE SHAPES: A MOSCOT GUIDE TO BALANCED, BOLD, AND BRILLIANT EYEWEAR

2025년 12월 11일
Eyewear isn’t just about seeing better – it’s about being seen. And if you’ve got an oblong or rectangle-shaped face, choosing the right frames can transform your look from fine to phenomenal. So what are the best glasses for an oblong face? Which rectangle face shape glasses bring balance to longer proportions? And how do you find frames that suit you – not just in fit, but in feeling? You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re searching for men’s glasses for oblong face shape, glasses for oblong face female, or just want a signature pair that flatters your naturally longer facial structure, this guide has you covered – the MOSCOT way. What Is an Oblong or Rectangle Face Shape? Let’s start with the basics. An oblong face shape (also known as rectangular) is longer than it is wide. It often features: A straight cheek lineA tall foreheadA defined jawlineMinimal curves or soft angles Compared to round or square faces, the defining feature is vertical length. The challenge? Finding oblong face shape glasses that bring horizontal balance, soften strong lines, and keep proportions in harmony. What Glasses Suit an Oblong Face? When choosing the best glasses for an oblong face, the key is visual balance. Look for frames that:Add width across the faceSoften long, straight linesEmphasize the eyes and cheekbonesSit low or mid on the bridge to shorten face length In other words: bold shapes, thicker rims, and frames with horizontal emphasis are your friends. Avoid anything too narrow, too tall, or minimal to the point of disappearing – oblong and rectangle face shapes need frames with presence. MOSCOT Frames That Flatter Oblong & Rectangle Faces With over 100 years of optical expertise, MOSCOT designs with intention. Our handcrafted frames are made to fit real faces – including yours. Below, we’ve curated the best glasses shape for oblong face wearers, blending heritage, proportion, and pure New York character. The LEMTOSH: The Icon That Works for Everyone Why it works: The slightly rounded square lenses, keyhole bridge, and thick acetate give The LEMTOSH its reputation as an icon – and its ability to visually balance oblong faces. It adds horizontal weight without overdoing it. Best for:Oblong face shape glasses male & femaleEveryday wearFans of timeless, versatile styleTry it in: Black for bold, Blonde for warmth, Crystal for a lighter lift. The NEBB: Clean Lines, Confident Presence Why it works: A squared silhouette with slightly softened edges, The NEBB brings presence across the brow and cheekbones. It’s bold enough to break up face length without feeling aggressive. Best for:Rectangle face shape glassesMinimalist stylingUnderstated edgeTry it in: Tortoise for dimension or Grey for cool contrast. The DAHVEN: Soft Structure, All Day Wear Why it works: The DAHVEN delivers shape and support with its rectangular silhouette, but without harsh lines. The result? A frame that defines without elongating – making it perfect for glasses for oblong face wearers who want polish. Best for:Sharp-dressed professionalsBalanced geometryAll-day comfortTry it in: Ink or Olive for a fresh update. The VANTZ: Vintage Character With Width Why it works: Inspired by old-school NYC, The VANTZ offers generous frame width, subtle curves, and attitude in all the right places.

The SHTUP: Chunky, Classic, and Right at Home Why it works: With a bold browline and structured silhouette, The SHTUP emphasizes horizontal lines and draws the eye upward – a great visual counter to long facial proportions.

Its clean silhouette and generous lens width help balance an elongated face while offering a timeless fit. Best for:Rectangle face shape glassesEveryday easeThose who want simple, effective balanceTry it in: Ink for a deep, inky neutral. How to Choose Between Oblong vs. Rectangle Face Shapes While often used interchangeably, here’s a quick distinction: Oblong faces = longer, rounded jawRectangle faces = longer, squared jaw The fit principles are similar, but if your jaw is more angular, opt for softer edges (The MILTZEN, The TELENA, The GELT). If your features are more curved, squared-off styles (The NEBB, The DAHVEN, The SHTUP) offer contrast and definition. Fit Still Matters – No Matter the Frame A flattering shape is only half the story. For the best results:The frames should sit mid-height on your faceThe lenses shouldn’t extend too far above the browTemples should hug without pinchingThe bridge should sit comfortably (not too high) Whether you go narrow, average, or wide fit – MOSCOT sizing helps fine-tune comfort and proportion. Final Thoughts: Own Your Angles, Find Your Frame The best glasses for oblong face shapes don’t hide what makes you unique – they highlight it. From bold icons like The LEMTOSH and The SHTUP to refined picks like The GELT and The TELENA, MOSCOT’s handcrafted collection gives you the tools to create visual balance and style that lasts a lifetime.

THE BEST LUXURY SUNGLASSES FOR OBLONG & RECTANGULAR FACE: A MOSCOT STYLE GUIDE

2025년 12월 11일
Longer face, bigger style. When your face shape leans tall and narrow – with balanced cheeks, a strong jawline, and a little more vertical real estate – the right pair of sunglasses can change everything. It’s not just about what looks good. It’s about what feels right, adds harmony, and expresses your personality with clarity and confidence. At MOSCOT, we’ve been framing faces of all shapes and sizes for over 100 years. So if you’re searching for the best sunglasses for oblong face shapes or want to know which sunglasses for rectangular face types really work, you’re in good hands (and even better frames). This guide breaks down what to look for – and showcases some of our most flattering, heritage-rich styles for men and women alike. Understanding Oblong & Rectangular Face Shapes First things first – do you have an oblong or rectangular face? Both shapes are similar and often used interchangeably. Here’s how to know: Oblong Face Shape: Your face is longer than it is wide Cheekbones, jawline, and forehead are evenly aligned Angles are soft and rounded Rectangular Face Shape: Also longer than wide, but with sharper jawlines or a more angular chin Forehead and jaw are about the same width More defined features Both face shapes benefit from similar sunglass strategies: add width, soften vertical lines, and enhance proportions with confidence. What to Look for in Sunglasses for Oblong & Rectangular Faces When choosing sunglasses for an oblong face (or a rectangular one), your goal is to add visual width and bring balance to your face. That means: Go wide: Choose frames that extend beyond your temples to balance facial lengthAdd curves: Rounded or oval lenses soften strong lines and sharp anglesMake a statement: Thicker or bolder frames add dimension and structureMind the lens height: Avoid super narrow lenses, which can elongate your face further Lucky for you, MOSCOT frames are designed with these principles in mind – always keeping proportion, comfort, and style at the forefront.

The MILTZEN SUN – Round, Relaxed, Retro A longtime favorite, The MILTZEN SUN brings full-circle softness to sharper facial angles. If you’re searching for sunglasses for rectangular face types that ease up the structure, this one’s a classic. Why it works:True round shape softens straight jawlinesHigh lens height adds volume in the center of the faceA subtle, artsy vibe with major staying power Best for: Oblong or rectangular faces looking for a vintage touch with modern edge.

Pro Tips for Choosing Sunglasses for Oblong Faces Not sure which frame’s right for you? Use these guidelines to help you nail the fit: Focus on WidthFrames should extend slightly past your temples to visually widen your face and bring symmetry. Don’t Go Too NarrowSkip tiny, super-narrow lenses – they can exaggerate length. You want volume around the eyes. Embrace a Bold BrowlineA strong top line (like in The LEMTOSH or The RIZIK) helps ground longer faces and adds visual breakpoints. Keep Lens Height in MindFrames like The MILTZEN or The VILDA offer a deeper lens profile that centers the face and draws attention inward.

Why Gray WorksPreserves natural color perceptionReduces brightness evenlyDoesn’t distort traffic signal colorsIdeal for long highway drives Gray lenses cut glare without altering how the world looks. Stoplights stay red. Brake lights stay red. Asphalt stays asphalt. For drivers who value accuracy and minimal distortion, gray is often considered the best sunglass lens color for driving in strong sunlight. MOSCOT Pick: The iconic LEMTOSH SUN in classic gray is a no-fail choice. Timeless silhouette. Serious performance. No nonsense. Brown & Amber Lenses: Contrast Champions If you drive in changing light – think tree-lined roads, city shadows, cloudy afternoons – brown and amber lenses may be the best color sunglasses for driving in mixed conditions. Why Brown/Amber WorkEnhance contrast and depth perceptionImprove visibility in haze or overcast weatherReduce glare while maintaining warmth They sharpen detail – lane markers pop, road textures become clearer, and visual fatigue drops significantly. This is why many drivers consider amber one of the best sunglass lens colors for driving when lighting shifts throughout the day. MOSCOT Custom Made Tints™: At MOSCOT, our Custom Made Tints™ program lets you dial in amber exactly how you like it – from subtle warmth to deeper contrast-enhancing tones. For long road trips? Amber shines. Literally. Green Lenses: The Balanced All-Rounder Green lenses sit beautifully between gray and brown. They reduce glare like gray but add subtle contrast like amber.

Why Green WorksMaintains true color perceptionEnhances contrast slightlyComfortable for all-day wearExcellent for city and suburban driving Green lenses are especially strong for drivers who split time between highways, urban streets, and open roads. Think of green as the “Swiss Army knife” of driving lenses. Polarized Lenses: The Glare Killers Let’s talk glare – the kind that bounces off pavement, car hoods, water, or snow and hits you straight in the eyes. That’s where polarization comes in. If you're asking, what is the best color for polarized sunglasses for driving? – start with gray or brown polarized lenses. Why Polarized Lenses MatterEliminate horizontal glareImprove clarity and contrastReduce eye fatigueIncrease reaction time Polarized gray = natural color + glare eliminationPolarized brown = enhanced contrast + glare elimination For bright highways, beach roads, or reflective city streets, polarized lenses may be the best color for polarized sunglasses for driving – full stop. Best Sunglass Lens Color for Driving at Night First rule: never wear dark sunglasses at night. But certain light tints can improve comfort in low-light conditions. If you’re searching for the best sunglass lens color for driving at night, the answer is:Light Yellow or Very Pale Amber These lenses:Increase contrast in dim environmentsReduce headlight glareImprove visual comfort in fog or rain They are not miracle lenses – and they’re not a replacement for clear prescription lenses – but in specific dusk or fog conditions, they can help reduce fatigue. Keep them light. Night driving demands maximum light transmission. Lens Colors to Avoid While Driving Some tints may look cool but aren’t road-friendly. Avoid:Deep blue lenses (distort contrast)Purple lenses (reduce clarity)Heavy red/rose lenses (can alter traffic signal perception)Extremely dark fashion lenses If safety matters (and it should), stick with proven performers. Matching Lens Color to Driving Environment Not all roads are created equal. City Driving Best sunglass lens color for driving downtown? Green Gray These maintain signal clarity and reduce reflected glare from glass buildings. Highway DrivingBest color sunglasses for driving long distance? Brown Polarized gray They reduce fatigue and sharpen lane markings over time. Coastal or Snowy AreasBest color for polarized sunglasses for driving? Polarized gray Polarized brown Glare is brutal near water or snow. Polarization is non-negotiable. Variable WeatherBest sunglass lens color for driving when light shifts? Brown Amber Contrast boost = safer reactions. Why Luxury Lenses Make a Difference Lens tint is only part of the equation. True driving performance also depends on:Optical precisionEdge-to-edge clarityAnti-reflective coatingsScratch resistanceUV protection MOSCOT lenses are engineered for real-world clarity – not novelty color filters. Because behind the wheel, distortion is not charming. So… What Color Sunglasses Are Best for Driving? Let’s simplify it: Driving Condition Best Lens Color Bright Sun Gray Mixed Light Brown / Amber All-Purpose Green High Glare Polarized Gray or Brown Night / Dusk Light Yellow (very subtle) If you want the safest universal answer? Polarized gray or brown. They consistently rank as the best color sunglasses for driving across most environments. Style Still Matters Performance is essential – but this is MOSCOT.
