zooey deschanel is a brilliant spectacle wearer as her character Jess. She is quirky but funky and I'd wear specs if I looked like that. A real accessory to say something about your personality.

The Queen is my spectacle-wearing icon, she looks good peering down through them to read her speeches

Sarah Palin - she always looks glamorous and really suits her glasses.

I think the classic Michael Caine look from the 1960s still looks super stylish today all these years on

Elton John because they are always outrageous and I would never have the courage to wear what he does. Plus they always look amazing somehow!

Funnily enough I was just reading the Times online this morning and thinking Camilla Long looks very elegant and stylish in her glasses.

kathcake Sun 03-Jul-16 11:11:31

I love Stephen Fry in his glasses

Lottie2tiger Sun 03-Jul-16 09:27:34

Got to be Gok Wan for me.. He is the one that started off the trend to wear glasses that stick out not blend in with your face ( well in my mind anyway!)
