Top 5 musicians glasses

Like many celebrities, H.E.R. is almost never seen in public without her trademark oversized dark sunglasses. In fact, when was the last time you saw HER without glasses? Fans went wild when the musician whose real name is Gabriella Wilson showed up at the 62nd annual Grammy Awards with only lightly tinted frames, which is as close as we’ve gotten to seeing her without any glasses! 

Maybe it’s the constantly flashing lights of the paparazzi, or perhaps it’s being on stage with all those hot spotlights, but many famous musicians glasses are worn both on and off stage.

Why do musicians wear glasses?

For some musicians, a great big pair of glasses adds to their sense of mystery or drama. Then again, maybe they’ve been up all night doing rock star things and their glasses send an unspoken message to fans that highlights their Rockstar bonafides.

Whatever the reason, we compiled a list of musicians who are almost always seen wearing glasses.

Bono

Born in Ireland as Paul David Hewson, Bono is known for being the lead singer of U2. And he’s almost always photographed wearing a pair of tinted glasses that have become something of his trademark. What many people don’t realize is that Bono also has an eye condition. In 2014, Bono revealed that he had glaucoma. “I have good treatments and I am going to be fine,” he said at the time. Bono wears glasses wisely at all times to continue to protect his eyes.

Bono’s Glasses Style

If you love the style of Bono’s glasses, try Oakley Sunglasses, which have an array of unexpected detail and styles that are lightweight and modern.

Jennifer Lopez

While J-Lo is most often seen onstage in body-hugging fashion, it’s J-Lo’s day-to-day glasses that make her seem the most like the rest of us. We’ll bet you haven’t noticed that in most of Lopez’s day off shots, she wears eyeglasses almost all the time. And since she’s a fashion chameleon, Lopez doesn’t stick to one specific style. Jenny from the block is often seen in bold, dark frames for her everyday eyeglasses and a variety of super glam sunglasses shapes ranging from extra wide temples to barely-there wire frames.

We think Lopez herself would approve of these tortoise shell frames, which combine a classic look of neutrals and tortoise design .

Buddy Holly

We should give props to Holly, who was one of the pioneering voices of American rock music in the 1950s. But it wasn’t just his music that people noticed, it was his boy next door styling complete with nerdy but iconic black glasses that most people remember. 

Buddy Holly’s Glasses style

We love the idea of embracing a trend and then mixing it up for a more modern feel. If you love Buddy Holly’s glasses aesthetic, try Muse M Modern’s cool acetate frame that works on any face, hair color or skin tone.

John Lennon

As a founding member of The Beatles, Lennon was known for quite literally changing music as we know it. As a solo artist, Lennon’s music was more about trying to change the world for the better. And in all things, John Lennon was known for his signature gold frame glasses. John Lennon’s glasses were so much a part of his identity, that if you search for the logo on branded John Lennon merch, you’ll see a quirky line drawing with a few facial features and a prominent pair of eyeglasses.

We love the look of these gold Ray-Ban frames that are sophisticated with just the tiniest hint of a rebel in them.

Back to H.E.R.

We can’t stop thinking about HER’s glasses and unique style and we’re convinced that like us, she’d be obsessed with theses frames. With a modified aviator frame and a double bridge, these eyeglasses are chic and futuristic…and would look amazing on you or your favorite rockstar!
