When I think of Rock Icons or Legends the first name to spring to mind is Buddy Holly he was the first massive musician to make wearing glasses cool.
Buddy Holly
Buddy Holly had his very own iconic style he wore thick black plastic glasses and made them not only fashionable but iconic.
Now although the thick black plastic frames suited Buddy Holly we are not all the same so if you have lighter skin tones or blond hair then black can look really heavy.
Thats why if you have blonde hair or lighter tones try a similar style in a different color.
The other Rock Icon I think of when I think Glasses is John Lennon.
John Lennon
John Lennon's style was to wear round glasses. Now round glasses are starting to come back with the likes of Ryan Adams and Johnny Depp wearing them.
Ryan Adams
Round glasses tend to suit people with a more angular face or square jawline.
Again with your choice of glasses try to go for lighter colours if you are lighter tones.
Another Way to get the look in a softer way is to go for metal Frames.
Metal Frames have changed a lot in recent times with new colors and styles available
Metal and plastic frames are also available in Half Frames or supra styles
Or you can try Plastic and Metal combined like Dave Grohl for a vintage rero glasses look
