Teashades:

Teashades, also known in pop culture as John Lennon Glasses or Ozzy Glasses due to these iconic figures wearing of them during the sixties & seventies.  These glasses are considered psychedelic symbols as they originally came about as a way of hiding marijuana induced red eyes.  They also soon became symbols of the 1960's drug counterculture as well.

These glasses were originally worn and become famous by the likes of:

John Lennon:

Ozzy Osborne:

As well as Mick Jagger and Jerry Garcia.

Today, teashades have become a popular accessory.  Again becoming avaliable in coloured tints and wire frames as they were in the 60's  They come in variety of sizes for small to overly large frames.

Some people who today have been seen sporting this trend include:

Lady Gaga:

Mary-Kate Olsen:

Ashely Olsen:

Lupe Fiasco:

What do you think of the trend??
