Seeing Clearly
Question
I recently found out I need reading glasses, but when I've tried on frames they look weird on my face. Like I was a Buddy Holly impersonator. Is there a style that's less severe?
- Jeff, Portland, OR
 
Answer

You may want to lighten up. As in clear frames. They seem to be having a moment right now, so you'll seem modern and with it, while easing yourself and those around you into your new bespeckled appearance. If you have a round face, look for rectangular lenses like the Kissinger-esque Nebb frame by Moscot. Longer faces can pull off the circular Andy style by Selima and Oliver Peoples' wayfarer frame lies somewhere in the middle.

The Expertly Packed Carry-On

Question

What should I pack for my first business trip?

- Matt, OH

Answer

With nearly every airline imposing a baggage fee nowadays, if you can get away with flying with just a carry-on, do it.
