John Lennon glasses

Glasses

Beatle or wizard?
Round, sometimes funky colored lenses in a light metal frame: this type of glasses is inextricably linked to all kinds of celebrities. First of all to ex-Beatle John Lennon, of course, who made the glasses big. He always wore these simple metal round glasses, making them iconic for his look. Over time, the 'John Lennon glasses' became a household name. In the 1990s, an entire eyewear collection was released under the name John Lennon – of course with only round metal glasses. Who else is rocking these glasses? Political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi for example, rock star Ozzy Ozborn and... Harry Potter! Since 1997, these somewhat nerdy glasses have been in great demand at the party store under the name Harry Potter glasses.
