Get the Look: James Dean



Is this a thinly veiled excuse to look at images of James Dean? Maybe, but he's wearing eyewear! Here Jimmy demonstrates his multitude of talents: reading, sculpting, photographing. He was a proud glasses wearer and made them cool in an era when most people were desperate to appear as if they never needed glasses.

Get The Look: Johnny Depp

It's pretty crazy that we haven't featured a movie star who has been so loyal to one style of glasses for so long. Johnny Depp has worn the thicker, squared-off-round, keyhole bridge look for years but keeps it fresh by wearing a variety of colours and lenses. 

Here's Johnny...

Get The Look: Samuel L Jackson

For those of you who've ever recited Samuel L Jackson's bible speech from Pulp Fiction or declared you're sick of those snakes being on a motherflippin' plane, then we have got the look for you.

Samuel L Jackson really works a smaller round frame with temples and bridge midway through the frame. He mixes things up a bit using colour, transparency and tinted lenses.
