Famous Frames: Shop the Glasses of Your Favorite TV and Film Characters

1. Velma Dinkley (Scooby-Doo Franchise)

Velma Dinkley’s glasses are simply iconic when it comes to geek chic. The rectangular glasses not only boosted her style, but they were vital to Velma’s vision! In fact, without her specs, she couldn’t see things that were directly in front of her. Think of all the mysteries that would have gone unsolved without Velma’s eyeglasses!

See things clearly in the very Velma-like Ray-Ban RB5473 Benji Optics.

2. Jess Day (New Girl)

One of the quirkiest characters with glasses we’ve seen on TV is Jess Day from New Girl. Jess often finds herself in oddball situations, but they’re no match to her natural enthusiasm and creativity. Whether she’s on a first date or heading to work as a teacher, Jess dresses to impress in funky patterned dresses and colorful cardigans.

As for her glasses, Jess likes them bold yet neutral. An oversized round frame suits her without drawing too much attention from her wardrobe.

3. Walter White (Breaking Bad)

Walter White (also known as Heisenberg) is, in a word, complex. The anti-hero of Breaking Bad is egotistical and fragile, but fans of the show root for him anyway. Many questionable, money- and drug-influenced choices lead Walter in odd directions. And they all stem from a somber backstory: After being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Walter quit his job as a science teacher to cook and sell crystal meth so that his family would have money after his death.

Walter White glasses are easy to dress up or down — especially helpful when living a double life.

If you want to add some intrigue to your life, we recommend the Ray-Ban RB3694V Jim Optics.

4. Clark Kent (Superman Franchise)

By day, Clark Kent is a journalist for the Daily Planet newspaper. His coworkers know him as a normal guy, but in reality, he’s Superman in disguise. Of course, you’d never know that if you saw Clark working diligently at his desk in the office. His square glasses really help him pull off the guy-next-door act, making him one of the most iconic characters with glasses from comics, television, and film.

5. Dwight Schrute (The Office)

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. These are the core values of Dwight Schrute, farmer and paper salesman in Scranton, Pennsylvania. If you’re a fan of The Office, you’re already familiar with the intense and sometimes condescending nature of Dwight Schrute.

His wardrobe consists of a mustard-colored button-up shirt, brown and gold striped tie, khaki pants, a cell phone belt clip, a calculator watch, and of course, his pilot-style eyeglasses. Each bold (and nerdy) piece works together in a way that is pure Dwight.

When you think of Dwight Schrute glasses, you’re probably picturing Ray-Ban RB3625V New Aviator Optics.

6. Thomas Shelby (Peaky Blinders)

When you’re a businessman and crime boss, you need to be taken seriously. That’s why Thomas “Tommy” Shelby of Peaky Blinders has a stoic and intelligent persona in both his personal and professional life. Round wire frames were the obvious choice for a character like Tommy. While they can look nerdy on some people, they give him a smart and intimidating look.

Looking for a pair of Tommy Shelby glasses to fit your mob boss persona? Try the Gucci GG0942O frames.

7. Harry Potter (Harry Potter Franchise)

Boy wizard Harry Potter is well-known for his round metal glasses. His were held together by tape — but that added to the charm of his character. Despite having a rough childhood, Harry was very courageous and always stood up for his friends, even in the most dangerous situations.

8. Chuckie Finster (Rugrats)

Out of a group of brave and daring young kids, Chuckie Finster takes on a more shy and nervous role. The redheaded toddler is known for his hesitation toward adventure, but he’s also quite loyal and agrees to accompany his friends anyway. He goes on every journey, from wandering around a movie theater to venturing into the woods.

Chuckie’s apprehension is part of his charm. And so are his thick-rimmed purple glasses. If you like the look, you’ll love the Dolce & Gabbana DG3373 frames. Chuckie’s dad Chas wears a similar pair.

9. Linda Belcher (Bob’s Burgers)

Another iconic cartoon character with glasses is Linda Belcher. Eccentric and witty, Linda can always find humor in even the most adverse situations. Her fun-mom energy accompanied with her strong Brooklyn accent is topped off perfectly by red cat-eye frames.

Many other characters in Bob’s Burgers also wear glasses, including Tina Belcher, Mr. Frond, and Mort, just to name a few.

10. Hank Hill (King of the Hill)

Southern charm shines through Hank Hill of Arlen, Texas. The propane salesman (and enthusiast) is always quick to help his friends, family, and members of his community whenever they’re in need. Hank is strong-willed and honest, and he can also be a bit naive at times. And there’s something about an oversized square frame that seems to fit this energy perfectly.

We think you and Hank Hill would be well-suited by the Coach HC6199 frame

11. Steve Urkel (Family Matters)

One of the most famous glasses-wearing characters is Steve Urkel from Family Matters. The large, pilot-style frames served as a reflection of his big, dorky personality. Though socially awkward and goofy, Urkel was always charming. And he always meant well, even though he had a tendency to make a mess of things.

Don’t be afraid to turn up your Urkel charm in these Gucci GG1044O glasses

12. Maurice Moss (The IT Crowd)

One of our favorite socially awkward characters is Maurice Moss from British comedy The IT Crowd. Moss is a computer nerd who loves playing board games and going to the arcade on payday. He may not have the best social skills, but Moss has a great sense of style that he shows off in his dark-rimmed glasses.

13. Chicken Little (Chicken Little)

Chicken Little is optimistic and fun — a small chicken with big dreams. But sometimes, he can get a bit paranoid and nervous, especially when trying to warn his community that the sky is falling. It’s that odd combination of heroic and panicked that make him who he is. And you can’t help but love him in his round, green glasses.

Put on a brave face like Chicken Little in these Polo Ralph Lauren PH2262 frames

14. Liz Lemon (30 Rock)

On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is a single career-driven woman. She’s smart as a whip, but still holds some insecurities about how she’s perceived by others. Liz shines as a writer for a New York-based TV show despite lacking a few social graces.

Nevertheless, we’re charmed by Liz Lemon — especially by her signature rectangular glasses. Our favorite frames like hers are the Coach HC6089 eyeglasses.

15. Barbie (Barbie Franchise)

Is anyone more fashionable than Barbie? We don’t think so. Barbie has succeeded in dozens of career paths, working as a doctor, pilot, musician, teacher, and even an Olympic athlete (and that's not all!). And she still finds the time to accessorize with the most marvelous pieces. We’re talking hot pink high heels, elegant handbags — even her car matches her outfits.

One of the most well-known Barbie get-ups is a black and white striped one-piece bathing suit, paired with white cat-eye sunglasses. Like Barbie, the look is timeless.

Protect your eyes with Barbie-inspired glamour in the Dolce & Gabbana DG4450 sunglasses.

16. Ralphie Parker (A Christmas Story)

One of the most recognizable Christmas movie characters with glasses is Ralphie Parker from A Christmas Story. The sweet and innocent blonde kid often gets lost in his own thoughts — especially when daydreaming about the Red Ryder BB gun he hopes to get from Santa Claus. Alas, his dreams are nearly crushed when he’s told repeatedly, “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

But Ralphie never gives up on his hopes, and spoiler alert! He gets his wish in the end. He never lost the spark in his big blue eyes — a spark that was highlighted by his big round glasses.

Try on Ralphie’s signature specs: Costa 6S1002 Forest Reef 100.

17. Austin Powers (Austin Powers Franchise)

In case you’re unfamiliar, Austin Powers is the goofy, parodied version of master spy James Bond. All Austin’s missions involve a beautiful (and much more competent) sidekick and numerous ridiculous mishap as he tries to defeat his mortal enemy, Dr. Evil.

But these challenges don’t keep Austin from looking snappy in his wardrobe. Whether he’s wearing a purple velvet suit or a bright orange blazer, Austin’s square black frames top off his funky, sultry, and adventurous lifestyle.

Prepare for your next mission by getting Austin Powers’ glasses: Ray-Ban RB5377 Meteor Optics.

Note: If you’re a fan of Mike Myers, you may have noticed that Garth from Wayne’s World wears very similar frames.

18. Holly Golightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s)

If you aspire to be a free-willed fashionista, you probably identify with Holly Golightly’s spontaneous, independent spirit. Throughout the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly embraces a fiercely independent approach to life while incorporating all the glamour she can get her hands on.

Audrey Hepburn, who played Holly, was always known for classic old Hollywood looks. An oversized cat-eye in black or tortoiseshell adds just the right amount of charm and class to any look.

Feel the old Hollywood glam like Holly Golightly in these Tiffany TF4170 sunglasses. (Yes, we chose Tiffany on purpose.)

19. Olive Penderghast (Easy A)

In Easy A, main character Olive Penderghast undergoes a makeover to embrace being a high school outcast. What made her a social pariah, you may ask? Due to some misunderstandings, Olive’s peers tease her for being promiscuous.

Instead of fighting the allegations, Olive starts wearing lace-up corsets embroidered with a big red “A” to school. It’s a nod to The Scarlet Letter, which the students had to read for an assignment. Olive’s fashion statement also includes a pair of classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, which add an extra flair of fierceness and rebellion.

Outspoken and smart like Olive, the Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer Classic frames never go out of style.

20. Daria Morgendorffer (Daria)

If you love a dry and sarcastic moment, Daria Morgendorffer’s straight-faced remarks and high school cynicism are right up your alley. Daria is very smart, but she can be snarky — especially when it comes to people who have a bit too much spunk.

Her oversized round, black frames seem to emphasize her intelligence, and give a nod to the irony she faces in everyday life. For a girl who avoids the spotlight but still demands to be heard, a giant, quirky pair of glasses makes the perfect statement.
