3 Hippie Glasses John Lenn

The 3 John Lenn hippie glasses are a set of three round party glasses with a thin silver-coloured frame and tinted lenses in blue, pink and black. Wear them at a 1960s party, a hippie or flower power party, or a disco night, and they suit both women and men. Since you get three at the same time, it is easy to head out together as a trio.

What do the round lenses and frame look like?

• You get three pairs of glasses: one with blue lenses, one with pink lenses and one with black lenses.
• The lenses are completely round and are set in a narrow silver-coloured frame with thin temples.
• The bridge has two transparent nose pads.
• The glasses are made of 55% aluminium-zinc alloy, 40% polycarbonate and 5% PVC.
• The set is intended for women and men and comes from the Boland brand.

The origins of the round hippie glasses

The round glasses with a thin metal frame grew into a recognisable part of the hippie look in the 1960s. The name John Lenn is a nod to a British pop musician from that era who was known for his small round glasses. Tinted lenses complemented the colourful clothing and cheerful colours of the flower power movement.

Styling tips for a 1960s party or disco night with the hippie glasses

At a 1960s party, the blue or pink glasses come into their own best with a floral blouse, a braided headband and long loose hair. With the black glasses, you keep the look more understated, which works well at a disco night with a glitter jacket or wide-leg trousers with bell bottoms. If you wear the glasses as a trio, agree beforehand who takes which colour, so that you are recognisable as a group in the parade or on the dance floor.

Order the set and you and two friends will each have your own colour at the next hippie party.
