Instead of trying to duplicate what you own, shop with an open mind.
When it comes to eyewear, Piehl believes in “love at first sight” and often encourages customers to trust their first reactions.

Eyewear is not a self-service industry, Piehl says. Take advantage of trained staff.
Generally, you want your eyebrows to show above your eyeglasses. Dark sunglasses are the exception because they completely cover the eyebrows.
Buy more than one pair. Many people have their practical, everyday glasses and an edgier pair to sport when the mood strikes.
