The Best Eyewear for the Aspiring Musician

Want to make it big with your guitar?—Then don a pair of Oliver Peoples and hit the road with a three day stubble and torn up jeans. You’ll need to play the part as well as you play your instrument, so create an image of yourself that is unique, fresh and reminiscent of the tunes you so lovingly create.


Think of the accessory that typifies your favorite musician. Probably you have thought of either: eyewear, headwear or tattoos. Let’s go with the first as the most easily recognizable trademark of a large number of successful musical stars.


The Ray Ban Wayfarer is a smart way to go for an aspiring musician whose tunes are more reminiscent of the legends who have so recently gone before them. Both Elton John, and before him Buddy Holly, were Wayfarer fans. Buddy Holly, however, used the traditional sunglasses frame for his prescription lenses, creating a look that was unique and thus memorable. That style, sometimes called the Buddy Holly, has lingered into present day proving that his image was as important as his music.


Oliver Peoples are a design house that is especially good at creating icon looks. The John Lennon look that is so specific to that artist can be found in variation by Oliver Peoples, and the designs are fresh for the picking for any aspiring front man.


Bono, who has made a name for himself as much from music as from philanthropy, has made his eyewear a changing part of his steady personality. Photographed for TIME Magazine in pink Dior shades, and then in clear blue mysteries a month later, Bono is determined to draw attention to the honesty and passion in his eyes with his semi-translucent eyewear, a trademark look indeed.


Use these ideas as the foundation for your own creativity, and find a way to make your eyewear work for you as an iconic trademark.
