Mens Eyewear

At Respectacle Company, we’re always shouting about the new eyewear that’s just landed and how excited we are about the latest shapes and colours. But most of the time it’s all about the lovely colourful ladies’ eyewear we stock. So, we thought showcasing some of our more masculine frames was long overdue.

These days, the distinction between men’s and women’s eyewear frames is less pronounced because many styles are interchangeable. However, there are still some independent eyewear brands that offer frames that are more traditionally masculine in terms of shape, size, and colour.

As well as being our home and a wonderful place to work, Manor Walk is also home to a diverse range of interesting, independent businesses, tucked away in a lovely little shopping precinct, just a short stroll from the centre of Market Harborough.
