5 Celebrities Never Seen Without Glasses

Here we have the top five celebrities who are as famous for their iconic eyewear as they are for their reason of success. They have since become eyewear staples and continue to inspire present and future stars to be the most creative version of themselves.

1. Buddy Holly

Eyewear is an evolutionary trend, always growing more popular, and if you take a look back to fashion as early as in the 1940’s, you’ll notice that the most iconic frames were being worn way before it was even fashionable to do so. Although he had 20/800 vision and didn’t want to wear glasses on stage, Buddy Holly had no idea that the glasses he was wearing were actually super fashionable , and have since become a worldwide trend, bold black frames similar to the internationally loved Ray-Ban® Wayfarer® frame. They also say that had Buddy Holly was the main influence for those in years to come, as the likes of John Lennon and Elton John also became famous for their glasses.

2. Elton John

Known for his outrageous choice of eyewear and novelty glasses, Elton creates various versions of himself depending on his choice of frames and lens colour. Although he uses outrageous glasses to almost get into character on stage, as he gets older, he tones down the size of his frames, but Elton’s exuberant taste usually results in matching piano and lenses. Making regular glasses more interesting is easy, by selecting a coloured lens from a pair of sunglasses, and adding the prescription.

3. Ozzy Osbourne

No one knows for sure if Ozzy wears his signature round sunglasses out of genuine need, to block out the bright lights on stage or just because they’ve become a famous accessory of his, but what we do know is that the long hair, mumbled speech and his psychedelic ‘teashades’ are all Ozzy Osbourne characteristics only he can pull off. You can get the look with these LFL343 Sunglasses from Linda Farrow.

4. Bono

U2 lead singer rarely steps out without wearing his trademark sunglasses, but the reason he goes dark has nothing to do with fashion. The U2 frontman recently revealed on a television show that he wears glasses on stage, during interviews and inside because he suffers from glaucoma. He is often seen wearing this pair of Versace VE2040 glasses, and usually sticks to wraparound styles.

5. Steve Jobs

Custom made for Steve Jobs himself, his signature round-framed glasses became a fundamental component to his look and everything he stood for as the CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc; simplistic, clean-cut and innovatory. A pair of semi-rimless round-framed glasses, like the John Varvatos V144 frames are a close match to the ones Jobs’ used to wear.
