Whether you call them Round Sunglasses, Tea-Shades or John Lennon Sunglasses there's no mistaking the iconic status they've achieved over the last 40 years or so. Round sunglasses and eyeglasses are just as popular now as they have ever been, they're most definitely here to stay.
Sunglasses formed by two circular lenses mounted in a wire frame were originally known as "Teashades". They first became popular in the 1960's inspired by many of the legendary rockers of that era. Their enduring appeal is driven by prominent members of the music business and other celebrities who continue to wear them to this day. Heavy Metal God Ozzy Osbourne still wears these circular shades, as does Liam Gallagher of Oasis who first wore them in the famous Wonderwall video. The glasses worn by Seraph in the Matrix Reloaded are Teashades. And more recently, Mary-Kate Olsen, Amber Le Bon and "Gossip Girl" Taylor Momsen have further revived interest in them by frequently wearing classically styled round sunglasses.
