Armani Eyewear

Giorgio Armani eyewear is a fantastically crafted, high quality, design orientated eyewear collection featuring many different shapes and styles. Ranging from thick, smooth and sleek frames, to classic thin metal frames and everything in between, there is a large variety to choose from. They are available in just about every modern shape - oval, round, rectangular, aviator, cat eye and numerous others. The Armani glasses line is divided into three brands, Giorgio Armani prescription glasses, Emporio Armani, and Armani Exchange glasses.  Giorgio Armani glasses and Armani sunglasses can all be customized with prescription lenses, just like all of our glasses. 

Stylistic Edge

Giorgio Armani prescription glasses benefit from the same knowledge and passion for design that Armani's other designer products do, giving them a stylistic edge over other similar companies. Just taking a look at the collection, you can see that there are very strong influences from the world of global fashion in each and every frame, which are enriched with a carefully selected palette of available colors.  You can also check out Emporio Armani glasses, and Emporio Armani sunglasses, which is a less expensive collection.

Quality

The logo, which is now known across the world, is featured prominently on nearly all of the items in the glasses range, acting as a confident stamp of approval of the design and build quality of their products. Like all their products, high quality materials in their eyewear is a requirement, as is manufacturing within Italy.

Emporio Armani

Emporio Armani sunglasses represent a mid-price collection. Emporio Armani is designed for people that want the Armani aesthetic and logo, but want to shop without the big price point.

Armani Exchange

Armani Exchange is different from Emporio Armani sunglasses because they focus on those who shop for youngest age demographic, and at the lowest prices. Styles tend to follow trends rather than to set trends.

How To Choose

There is often an assumption that designer eyewear brands are solely for women, but Armani actually offers many frames for men, styled with masculine lines that show homage to the world of men’s fashion. With Emporio Armani, you know you will get quality, a fantastic design that is up to date with current trends and an altogether fantastic look that will fit perfectly with your own personal style.

When it comes to the most alluring designer sunglasses for women, it is hard not to think about Giorgio Armani sunglasses. When you hear “Giorgio Armani”, you know you are dealing with the richest texture, boldest designs and something unmatched. The latest in the range of designer shades from Giorgio Armani can make a woman discover her rather colorful side keeping the sophistication level intact. 

The sunglasses aesthetic was originally founded and characterized by its elegance and commitment to quality. The line is an important addition to the company’s portfolio. Sunglasses cover a wide range of styles, from large cat eye plastic frames, to metal aviators. All frames carry the characteristic Armani style, as well as the logo.

Giorgio Armani, the Brand

Armani Eyewear is produced by Giorgio Armani and the Armani group, an Italian luxury clothing and fashion accessory retailer that was founded by Giorgio Armani in 1975. This brand and Emporio Armani frames are often compared to Oliver Peoples which copied much of the Armani styling.  Other than clothing, the Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani brand also produces fragrances, watches jewelry and other fashionable accessories meaning that you are able to complete your entire look with their stunning offerings.

From the very beginning, the Company has been at the forefront of designer products and has even has been associated with the world's most renowned style icons. These high profile associations show just how much of an influential brand that Armani is today.

Both Giorgio and Emporio Armani brands use premium materials, a timeless style for trendsetters, and a modern twist with comfort.   This is not the brand to choose if you are looking for prescription safety glasses, but the frames can handle just about any kind of prescription lens and the adjustable temples will accommodate a wide variety of face shape.

Giorgio Armani Eyewear

The Armani eyewear line is divided into two brands, with the leading fashion brand being Giorgio Armani eyewear. This is the flagship Armani brand, and it shows the most cutting edge styles and leading price points. The collection is designed to introduce new models twice a year to keep pace with fashion trends.

Emporio Armani Eyewear

The second  eyewear brand is Emporio Armani glasses collection. The Emporio Armani collection tend to be more popular, more conservative, and more suited to a larger number of people. This collection is a bit larger than the Giorgio Armani line, and the price point is lower.

How To Shop For Armani Eyewear

Shop for frames the same way you shop for clothing. Wearers of a pair of round, clear or with-colors, with or without prescription lenses - all types of wearers love these glasses no matter what kind of store they patronize. All of the glasses can be fitted with lenses, and most with progressive lenses is a variety of colors, and there is always a good size for your face.

No Smart Glasses

Smart glasses are a tech trend that does not jive with the Company's focus on style and quality. Smart glasses typically have a camera lens, and/or audio components added to the frames to make them "smart glasses", but the styles of smart glasses are typical so generic that no high quality brand would want to dabble in smart glasses.
