Thread: Elvis Sunglasses

  1. #1

    Elvis Sunglasses

    or ??

    I really cant decide wether he was right or wrong to wear them. Sometimes i look at a picture and you just think they dont make him look cool then you look at another pic and he really pulls it off and he can look the coolest man on the planet with them.

    What do you think?

    Yep, I liked them too. He had to wear them later , didn't he?
    Because of glaucoma, the light hurt his eyes.

    The glasses were very cool back in the day he wore them. You may not think they are cool today, but you had to be there in the 70's to understand.

    I think they looked cool on him! As long as I could see his eyes!

    Yeah he looked cool with them on. He was a stylish dude. Everybody started to wear aviators after him. I wanted to buy a real pair for myself without the EP in them, but all I can find is the plastic ones.

    They were part of his style... I love them! And, he needed them too because of his health. So, go for the glasses!

    I loved the sunglasses Elvis wore, but if they were also used to treat his glaucoma I do find it to be an odd way to treat that condition.

    You "treat" glaucoma with medicine. Sunglasses just protect the eyes from the glare of the strong lights.

    He invented cool, he was Mr. Suave, he was a innovator. Every man wanted to be him, and every woman wanted him. Frank Sinatra wasnt the coolest, Elvis Aaron Presley is. "Elvis was the firstest with the mostest" - Roy Orbison

    Very cool shot Misty.

    Here's one of my alltime favorite "glasses" photo's with Elvis wearing the Mad Tiger Suite in Indianapolis October 5th 1974.

    His glasses looked really cool in the 70s..not so sure about that shot from the 60s someone posted. Anyway it was in the 70s that he wore them the most often, and it was part of his style...yep they're definitly cool
