What discovering your personal style sounds like.

Last week, we welcomed clients into the studio for an intimate styling experience alongside some of our favorite style experts.

A special thank you to Rachel Sy of Rise Styling, Josiah Kaufman of Tom James, and a guest stylist from Thema Custom Italian Eyewear for sharing their expertise.

Through a guided mood board workshop, guests uncovered their personal style archetype and left with a personalized style guide designed to make getting dressed feel more effortless, from the clothes they wear to the eyewear they choose.

Because great style isn’t about following trends. It’s about understanding what feels most like you.

We’re conserving energy for your next appointment.

Because our stylists look beyond prescriptions and trends, they have opted out of social media today to conserve energy for what matters most — you!

But, they are always ready and willing to craft a look that reflects your personality and elevates your confidence.

AND every recommendation they give is intentional, chosen to fit beautifully, flatter naturally, and feel like an extension of your own style.

Book an appointment via the link in bio 😎 or just stop by to see us in action!

“[We’re] approaching the category differently and creating an experience that feels considerably more elevated than what most [people] associate with a visit to the eye doctor.

This unique approach is what makes Alternate View worth knowing about and worth visiting.” - Sophisticated Living

Thank you, Sophisticated Living, for capturing what makes the Alternate View experience so special. And thank you to everyone who joined us in raising a glass to America’s Finest Optical Retailer.

Madison loves getting lost in a good book.

Mackenzie takes full advantage of the good weather and reconvenes with nature by hiking.

LC thinks an ideal day in the sun is spent in the brief walks between each store, did someone say sips and shopping?

Mollie invests her sun-time into her kids, frequenting the park for a full day of fun.

Liz is always down for a good yap sesh on the porch with a good view of the fresh flowers in her yard.

Come for the eye exam. Stay for the espresso. Leave with a whole new point of view.

Serious eye care, personal styling and independent eyewear, all under one roof.
