The first thing that springs to mind is… bling. But not *always*. Like, yeah, you get the Medusa heads and gold accents, and that’s cool if that’s your jam. But the stuff I’ve seen kicking around – and the little snippets I peeped online – suggests they’re actually trying to balance that out a bit. They want that touch of…sophistication, apparently. So, masculine shapes, which, like, *duh*, it’s for men, but then thrown in a splash of color or some metallic thingies. I dunno, I guess it keeps it from being too boring?
And let’s be real, a lot of men’s glasses can be *boring*. You get the same ol’ rectangular frame in black or maybe if you’re feeling *really* wild, a dark brown. Versace at least tries to break that mold. I mean, I wouldn’t rock everything they put out, but I appreciate the effort.
I saw one description saying something about the “Versace Eyewear Collection: a sophisticated selection.” Sophisticated is a good word. But honestly, sometimes it feels like “sophisticated” is code for “expensive”. And Versace *is* expensive, let’s not kid ourselves. But hey, if you’re gonna drop some serious cash on glasses, you might as well get something that *looks* like you dropped some serious cash, right?
Plus, I think Versace’s got that whole “brand appeal” thing going for it. You’re not just buying glasses, you’re buying into the whole Versace vibe. You’re buying into…well, being a little bit extra. And there’s nothing wrong with that!
One thing I *do* find slightly annoying is the “pre-order” thing. Like, you’re gonna make me wait for my ridiculously priced glasses? Come on! Give me instant gratification, Versace! But I guess that’s part of the whole “exclusive” thing, isn’t it?
