2021 Holiday Gift Guide: The Dinner Party

An effervescence accompanies the entrance of every guest, like components poured into a welcoming champagne cocktail Personalities intermingle, as do distinct senses of style epitomized by the eyewear worn by each person From the bold Laiya in Merlot Smoke with Soft Tan Gradient Mirror lenses to the timeless Sheldrake Sun in Buff with Green C and the double bridge Mandeville in Brushed Gold with Dark Blue Gradient lenses, each adornment offers a declaration of spirit All eyes turn to a reunion the guest sporting the vintage inspired Fairmont Sun in Black with Indigo Photochromic lenses tips their flute to a neighbor wearing the distinct Cary Grant Sun in Honey VSB with Green C lenses

Indulgent libations, including family favorites and dishes featuring secret recipes, spread across the tabletop. Friends with impeccable taste wear iconographic frames one in the Gregory Peck in Canarywood Gradient, another in the Gregory Peck Sun in Washed Lapis with Carbon Grey lenses and join in on the feast.

With tales of the year filling the room, guests rise from the table for a stretch and different scenery. Wearing the new Finley ESQ Sun in Black Diamond with Steal Gradient lenses, one celebrant delivers a major announcement and cheers erupt. Amidst the wonder of it all, only a breath of fresh air can bring a second wind to loved ones donning the geometric G. Ponti-3 in Brushed Brass with Burgundy lenses, the striking Shiller in Cocobolo with Sand Wash lenses, the angular Filu’ in Buff with Green C lenses and the Martineaux in Espresso with Moondust Gradient lenses and its defined keyhole bridge. Outside, with whisky or cigar in hand, the finer details of the most extravagant stories are revealed in smaller circles.

Throughout the festivities, a sense of familial competition arises, and the board games come out. Teammates are drawn, with some wearing the Cary Grant Military VSB and the cat eye shaped Roella in Bordeaux Bark with Grey lenses and the others in the elegant, tear drop shaped Disoriano in Silver/Black Horn with Shale Gradient lenses and the Sheldrake 1950 in YTB with Green C lenses. One guest chooses not to participate but to narrate; the play by play from the precocious attendee in the Riley Sun in Semi Matte Amber Tortoise with Cobalto lenses is arguably the most endearing attribute of the hour.

A flavorful act of togetherness, the final course is the sweetest. Whether in the G. Ponti 1 in Sage Green with Yellow lenses or the Gregory Peck 1962 in Emerald Bark with True Brown lenses, everyone enjoys each decadent bite. Espressos are pulled for a group looking to last later into the night one in the Oliver in Teal VSB, another in the Hollins in Amaretto/Striped Honey and a third in the Nino in Charcoal Tortoise with Shale Gradient lenses.
