You could say Jordan Silver and Erik Sacher are passionate about vintage eyewear. Their SoHo store, Silver Lining Opticians, is packed with stealthily procured vintage shades from fashion’s most epic labels and the prelicensed days of Ray-Ban and Persol. Stylists, aficionados, and celebrities ranging from Jay-Z to Daniel Day-Lewis are known to pop in to purchase Silver Lining’s one-of-a-kind pieces that reach as much as $1,000. The store also offers current lines, like the duo’s eponymous collection and indie labels like Barton Perreira and Garrett Leight. These frames start at around $275. If selecting the right frames for your face and style is intimidating, Silver offers advice on how to shop for that perfect frame.
Bridge: “Don’t be overly concerned with the temple fit, because that can be adjusted, but the bridge is one thing you can’t adjust, so you want to make sure it fits,” Silver says, referring to the space where the lenses come together at the nose. “You don’t want it too narrow or too wide. Try a saddle bridge for more flexibility.”
Style: “Your personality really shines through with your choice of sunglasses; they are the first thing people notice about you, so make sure you feel confident,” Silver says. “Try on and experiment.”
Lenses: “Think about what climate you spend the most time in,” Silver says. “Polarized lenses reduce glare, but they’re not necessary for city living. They’re great for water or snow, but you don’t want to be in a situation where you can’t see your phone. It’s all about personal preference and light sensitivity, and we can UV anything.”
Care: “Always keep your eyewear in a good, eyewear-specific case with a microfiber cloth inside it,” Silver says.
