The Gant Prepster Empire Can Add Eyewear to the Roster
Gant is one of the largest sportswear designers in America. Although Gant American Sportswear references to our traditions and classic American style, the pioneer of the iconic is an immigrant from overseas. During the early 1900s, Bernard Gant migrated from the Ukraine and settled into New York City. As with many immigrants in this area of Manhattan at this time, Gant went to work immediately in the garment district sewing collars and working in a factory. After settling down and getting married, Gant went into business eventually bringing his two sons into the fold. Although Gant was known more for working behind the scenes for other big name labels, it wasn’t until the 1960s that he began marking the clothing he manufactured with the signature red G. Presently, Gant is synonymous with American sportswear and personifies the all-American preppy look emulated on college campuses across the country.
Despite it’s smart appeal to those who are already a fan of the fashion label, the look of Gant eyeglasses will easily fit into an established wardrobe irrespective of its style because of a minimalist approach to the sleek frames. There are none of other designer label’s large frames that can been slightly excessive to the average consumer, nor the overpowering and overstated colors and themes that tend to adorn spectacles these days. With designs for both men and women, the East Coast sensibility is present in each frame. They straddle the line between casual and semi-formal attire and its wearers can comfortably go from a Sunday in the park, to the office on Monday to a night at the opera and back. Made specifically for adults with a more refined and slightly less eccentric taste, Gant eyewear invokes a natural class.
