I think John Lennon wore glasses so well, really showed you can be stylish for the times when choosing a frame to suit your face

Richard Gere looks so distinguished and handsome in glasses!

Her Maj for me! She always looks wonderful whatever she wears, and when she wears her glasses they always seem part of her outfit. The Queen changes the frames quite regularly I think, and although they're always fairly unobtrusive, they always suit her, and look very stylish

Gok Wan, he has glasses for every outfit. I would love to have that!
