What Type of Leading Man are you?

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

Obviously here we all love our glasses, whether for work, play, the beach or the office. We are aware though that some of you might not be convinced yet, so if you’re a guy who still thinks that specs aren’t sexy, then let’s take a look at some leading men who might just inspire you to love your lenses and embrace the joy of spex…..

If you’re the strong silent type, then think Men in Black – remember the cool style of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in their RayBan Wayfarers. (Do not at this point conjure up the Blue’s Brothers – not quite the image we’re going for here!) Or for the more dramatic among you, The Matrix – Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne in their uber funky, lightweight shades.

For that true retro look think of Tom Cruise, the ultimate Top Gun, in the ever classic Aviator. He was still rocking those sunnies in Mission impossible, astride his motorbike. Iconic specs that defined a look as well as an entire era. Although – you could say the same about Austin Powers – but we’ll gloss over that one!

Of course it’s not just sunnies that star in the movies, just ask yourself, where would Superman be without the brilliant disguise of his geek glasses? Would you recognise Michael Caine without his version of the same? For the red carpet or on set, the movies love specs, so embrace your inner screen God and order your own slice of star style!
