12 pairs of glasses that both you and your child can wear
Little ones like to copy mom and dad, especially when it comes to how they dress, which is why more and more designs originally meant for adults now come in child sizes too. So, how do you like the sound of matching glasses?
Some haute couture brands already make it possible to dress your children in the same clothes and accessories you own. Take Louis Vuitton for example, with its mini version of the iconic Speedy bag. Or Gucci with its popular snaffle bit loafers for kids. Here, EYESEEmag has selected 12 pairs of glasses you can effectively coordinate with those of your children.
