I'd like to suggest Jon Snow who I seem to have only recently noticed wearing glasses, but then perhaps I'm not very observant, but he certainly looks good in them!

Richard Osman wears his glasses with style, I think. There are so many great styles now, so different from when I started wearing glasses as a child and the choice was one style, in brown or pink!

Johnny Depp looks great with glasses as does Kate Silverton

Shscc1 Thu 07-Jul-16 09:49:39

When I think of spectacles, I think of John Lennon - a true icon. I myself had a pair of the signaure round glasses in my younger years, and loved them (I will have to dig them out for old times sake!)
