Impaired vision has never looked so good.

The Scene
With soft lighting and minimalist art deco furnishings, Oliver Peoples lets its glasses sell themselves. The hip environment makes it cool to shop for specs, which are displayed in a three tiered shelving system that wraps around the store interior. This leaves the majority of the floor space open, allowing shoppers plenty of room to navigate and take in the full spectrum of eyewear.

The Goods
The entire collection is predominantly Oliver Peoples and Paul Smith by Oliver Peoples, with a few pairs of Prada thrown in for good measure. As is befitting a store on Sunset Plaza, Oliver Peoples glasses are the height of fashion. Whether wire frame, tortoise shell, or pastel-colored sunglasses, all the popular styles are available here--plus a few that are sure to spark future trends.
