[ Warning ] There is a lot of my face in this post.
I have a love/hate relationship with picking out glasses. On one hand, it’s always fun to select a dozen frames, try them all on, and narrow it down. But I constantly feel like my optician would reaaally rather I just made a decision already. Warby Parker is revolutionizing this process though, with their new Home Try-On Program.
Here’s the lowdown: Pick out five frames from their website you think you might be interested in, they arrive in your mailbox promptly after, and then you have five days to make a decision! Try them on as many times as you want, snap some Instagrams and share with your friends to get their opinions. When you’re done, send ’em on back. No joke, this program is completely free (to everyone in the US– not just blogger folk I promise!). There isn’t even a shipping cost. It’s pretty darn great.
What’d I try on? I was personally on the hunt for some tortoise frames and fun sunglasses!
Chandler Whiskey Tortoise // Bensen Whiskey Tortoise // Ainsworth Walnut Tortoise
Thatcher Striped Sassasfras // Appleton Brushed Gold
Clearly, I can’t pull any of these off. But no penalty! Warby Parker takes them all back– you’re not required to purchase any.
And you guys know how I feel about fashion for good: Warby Parker, like TOMS, does Buy a Pair, Give a Pair. For every pair of glasses purchased, a pair will be given to someone in need. So I do hope you order at least one out of your box 🙂
That’s awesome! Warby Parker is doing some interesting things lately!
You look adorable in all of those pairs! I wish I pulled off glasses that well 🙂
What a wonderful program (and socially responsible!) I will definitely keep them in mind as I am on the hunt for new sunglasses (and glasses!) 🙂
How adorable are you!? Love that you can try before buying!

Great idea! Kind of like Zappos for glasses. I need to find some new frames that make a little more of a statement than my current thin black metal ones.
I’ve been wanting to try out Warby Parker, but I don’t need a new pair of glasses yet (sad!). Seeing all the side by side comparisons was fun 🙂
Thanks for sharing the info on the cool brand, love the “buy one give one” aspect!
Thats lovely! I love all of them, you pulled it off and I need to visit the website!

You definitely need to try before buying glasses, such an investment and major decision! WP makes that fun though and makes it easier to commit at their price points. Love all the styles you chose, btw.
I saw this post a few weeks ago and finally got to ordering my 5 pairs for an at-home try-on (I’ve been needing new glasses for months). I’d heard about the company but didn’t know they let you do this for free. Thanks so much!
That’s fantastic! I hope you like yours, and let me know if you end up picking any! 🙂
