These Glasses Are High On Our Wish List Right Now

Restyle your face

Next year may be every optician’s dream – 2020 – but right now we’re in the mood for glasses. Let’s face it, adding some face furniture gives a person, any person, a degree of refinement, even when you guess they’re only wearing glasses to appear more refined in the first place.    

Once banished from a celebrity’s wardrobe, glasses are now a bona fide accessory, seen on the faces of everyone from film stars to rappers, at awards shows and concerts. Here, we look at the glasses-wearers blazing the trail – and the opticals we’d love to have sitting on the bridge of our nose.

Ryan Reynolds

@vancityreynolds

For a look that’s at once preppy and contemporary, copy style-king Ryan Reynolds and go for a thick-framed look that owes much to Clark Kent on his Superman days off.

Samuel L Jackson

@samuelljackson

While some men are smarter than they look, a pair of professorial round-framed glasses like Samuel L’s can make you look smarter than you actually are. Take note fellas.

Kit Harrington

@emilia_clarke

You know nothing John Snow. Except, perhaps, how to sport a pair of glasses. Again, it’s the round frames that do it, helping to give Kit Harrington a studious look that’s easy enough to mimic.

Jonah Hill

Wall Street (2010)

If you want to balance facial fuzz or a wild mop with something smarter, take your cue from the likes of Liam Hemsworth or Jonah Hill, aka "Donnie Azoff" from Wall Street (2010), who has a penchant for accessorising with frames.

Donald Glover

How to dress like an uber nerd and come out looking like the coolest man on the planet? Just ask Donald Glover. And then pick up a pair of these Pacifico Opticals in imitation.

Jeff Goldblum

Chunky frames can highlight cheekbones while hiding wrinkles – look at Jurassic Park legend Jeff Goldblum, who’s as famous for his prominent glasses as he is for his ability to look 20 years younger than he actually is.
