Eyewear has always been a powerful fashion statement, and over the years, celebrities have mastered the art of making eyewear an extension of their appearance; their trademark. Whether it’s to shield from the sun or the flashing paparazzi lights, Hollywood stars’ choices in eyewear continue to inspire and captivate. Follow along as we explore famously-beloved styles and how to emulate the looks at JJ Eyes.
Tom Cruise: Starting off strong with one of the most timeless styles: aviators. The 1986 blockbuster, Top Gun, propelled the aviator’s rise-to-fame, and Tom Cruise’s portrayal of Maverick made them an instant classic. Decades later, this style is still achieving record sales for good reason. Aviators are an effortlessly cool staple to add to your wardrobe. Elevate these shades by opting for one of Dita’s many variations, sold in-store at JJ Eyes.
Elton John: In the minds of many, there is no Elton John without his bold, colorful glasses. If you’re looking to make a fashion statement like Elton John, Blake Kuwahara frames from JJ Eyes should be at the top of your list. This brands’ superior craftsmanship allows for an eye-catching accessory that is both comfortable and lightweight.
Audrey Hepburn: Three words: Chic, glamorous, sophisticated. We’re taking a page out of Audrey Hepburn’s style playbook by highlighting cat-eye and round sunglasses. Both styles add a hint of sass to an outfit while maintaining a polished and elegant look. For frames that are reminiscent of the 1950’s with a modern twist, browse JJ Eyes’ selection of Tom Ford eyewear. You’ll be enjoying Breakfast at Tiffany’s in no time.
John Lennon: Just as his music has transcended generations of different tastes, so have John Lennon’s small, round glasses. These distinctive, minimalistic frames became a symbol of the 1960s counterculture, and now AKONI and Lunor’s optical and sunglass options offer a nostalgic nod to his style. As Lennon famously said, “I’m not going to change the way I look or feel to conform to anything.” For eyewear that reflects your attitude rather than just trends, JJ Eyes’ professionals will help you find and style the perfect frames to match your unique personality.
