Red is a festive holiday color, but at Alain Mikli, the high-end eyewear boutique, red is a year-round fashion statement. Each year, Mr. Mikli offers new versions of eyeglasses in his patented shade of red. The current red frames are available at the new Midtown Alain Mikli shop (575 Madison Ave., 212-751-6085), the second in Manhattan.

Though some want their eyeglasses to have a barely-there look, red glasses make a vibrant accessory. “For women, it’s like makeup. With just a touch of lipstick and red glasses, your make-up is done,” said boutique manager Sophie Raubiet. “They’re also for elegant men, who maybe like to match the tie with the glasses.”

The red glasses ($220 to $650), as well as any other Alain Mikli frames, can be fitted with corrective lenses or sunglass lenses. Portions of the frames are made from acetate, a natural plastic, and are custom fitted to balance perfectly on the face.

Though the Alain Mikli brand has been a leader in eyewear for years, there is a hidden treasure at the shop on the Upper East Side (986 Madison Ave., 212-472-6085). Mr. Mikli produces a line of clothing that can be custom fitted to the individual. In the back of the shop are about 20 exquisitely detailed pieces for men and women. Measurements are taken at the store and then sent to Paris, where Mr. Mikli’s studio adjusts a standard size to the customer’s measurements. A white dress shirt for men runs $180 and a black silk and wool sweater for women is $285.
