Glasses in Yes Man

Filed Under Brand Wave, Celebrities & Eyewear, Designer Eyeglasses 



The glasses in Yes Man have created buzz across the web for Norman and Carl’s mimic eyewear. Though the eyewear is likely custom made, we suggest a few designer mimics to create an equal amount of buzz when you unveil your new summer look. Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Prada or Hugo Boss are the best bets to match Norman’s zeal for life.


Carl’s boss Norman, played by Rhys Darby, wears an ostentatious pair of glasses throughout the film Yes Man. His security and sense of identity are bold, unapologetic and charismatic in a very Austin Powers kind of way. His thick accent helps to create a “devil may care” attitude for this every man. Though dressed in a crumpled, ridiculous suit, an out of style hair cut and over-the-top eyewear, Norman plays Carl’s side-kick and mentor.


To get Darby’s look in a less obnoxious and over the top way, try MJ140, from Marc Jacobs. The colors match, as does the temple bar stripe and straight brow edge. Meanwhile, the look is more modern and fashionable, and less likely to shock. Alternatively, for a more subtle copy, check out HUGO BOSS 0154, which hold the same basic shape, but are more luxurious and fashionable. Finally, try Prada’s PRO5IV for the most subtle mimicking of Darby’s look.


Tom Ford FT5037 for the glasses Jim Carrey wears when dressed up as Harry Potter (you’ll have to see the film for that last sentence to make sense.) If you have any dress up parties like Norman’s coming up, you mind as well stock up on these Tom Ford’s now.
