John Lennon Sunglasses - Here To Stay
Whether you call them John Lennon Sunglasses, Round Sunglasses or Tea-Shades there's no mistaking their iconic status thanks to the legendary Beatle. John Lennon Sunglasses are just as popular now as they were 40 years ago when he first wore them, they are 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 Lennon's fondness for them. Other rockers such as Mick Jagger and Jerry Garcia also wore them in that era. Their enduring appeal is driven by prominent members of the music business 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 and more recently at the Brit Awards in 2010 when he infamously threw his award into the audience. The glasses worn by Seraph in the Matrix Reloaded are Teashades. And most recently, Mary-Kate Olsen, Amber Le Bon and "Gossip Girl" Taylor Momsen have revived the interest in them by frequently wearing classic John Lennon Sunglasses.
However when we think of Teashades we think of John Lennon, and we know we're not alone in that respect. The term John Lennon Sunglasses is undisputedly the phrase most often used to describe these sunglasses. The black and white photo of John Lennon standing cross-armed, wearing a "New York City" sleeveless t-shirt, and his sunglasses is perhaps the most popular still photo of Lennon. This portrait does its part to see Lennon's legend stays radiant and his sunglasses forever in demand.
