And for good reason - it's hard to take a few steps outside Business Insider's Manhattan headquarters without running into someone wearing one of their retro-chic frames.
Warby Parker is one of the first eyeglass makers to be a real competitor to Luxottica, the Italian eyewear company that controls most of the industry. Founded in 2010, Warby Parker's aim is to produce glasses that are a fashionable, cheap alternative to the norm, and its business is valued at $1.2 billion as of 2015.
But learning about such a trendsetting company got us wondering - does that pioneering style translate to a fashionable workplace culture? We wanted to find out, so we ventured to Warby's headquarters on 6th Avenue to take a look around.
Guys described their office style as "clean," "relaxed," and "individual" - after all, Warby Parker has no stated dress code. Basically, there are "a lot of people exercising a lot of their personality through the clothes that they're wearing".
