Adventures in Time and Fashion

I recently had a customer come in to work looking for glasses. Not just any glasses though - she was kind of unimpressed by our (quite large) selection, but was a bit shy about asking for what she wanted. Turns out she's a Whovian. Turns out what she was looking for were David Tennant glasses. These glasses:

Yeah, you know you're cool, Ten.

The best part (aside from running into another Whovian, of course)? We were actually able to find some glasses that were pretty darn close. So, for the benefit of other Whovians out there who may want to imitate the Doctor, here are some options for you. Even if your local optical doesn't stock these lines, they're more than likely available somewhere online. (Can't help you get the right measurements though. Good luck there.)

First, we have Playlist by Smith Optics:

Probably the closest match of any I've seen, and if you're not familiar with Smith, you should get to know them - they make excellent frames.

(Oh my gosh, it just occurred to me: SMITH. Like John Smith...oh never mind.)

Next up, from Kate Spade, we have Regine:

Overall, a very similar shape and size, it has softened lines and is not quite so deep in the outer corners for a more feminine look.

Lastly, Jonah from Lilly Pulitzer:

These are a little smaller than the other two frames and the lines are a little more rounded, but it does have the advantage of coming in TARDIS blue...or as close as you're likely to get.

So there you go, fellow Whovians. Go forth and imitate our dear Doctor. ;)
