Lacoste and Longchamp: two ways of living everyday life
There are glasses that don’t aim for a dramatic effect, but for a natural look. Lacoste offers a clean, sporty-chic style that’s fresh and versatile; Longchamp focuses on a softer, more feminine, urban elegance. Two distinct styles, both designed to accompany you throughout the day without feeling stiff or formal.
Lacoste works when you want a laid-back, sunny look with polo shirts, linen, denim, travel and city wear. Longchamp has a more delicate feel: it softens the face, pairs well with polished yet light looks, and doesn’t need to shout the brand name. The right choice comes down to how it looks on your face, not the category.
How to read them on someone’s face
A frame that’s too sporty can detract from the elegance; one that’s too thin can get lost. That’s why, during a consultation at Isolani, we look at the proportions, the bridge, the lens colour and the distance from the eyebrow: these are small details, but they completely change the final effect.
Everyday glasses, but well chosen
Everyday glasses have to pass the toughest test: they must look good with different outfits, be lightweight, stay in place and not look out of place. When this balance is achieved, they become one of those items you reach for without giving it a second thought.
