Warby Parker is one of the most exciting eyewear launches we've seen in the past year, so it's no surprise that their just-gone-live-two-days-ago website is already blowing up and selling out. We love the collection's fashion-meets-function sensibilities and its very-right-now ageless aesthetic—especially "The Colonel" Monocle. Yes, monocle. The designers call it the perfect accessory for "budding robber barons, post-colonial tyrants and super villains." We concur.
