We all know the feeling when you badly want to change your look. Things don’t work out. Maybe getting a new pair of outfit, changing your style can change something. Maybe. Maybe not.

There’s no harm in changing your wardrobe. Just changing your sunglasses can change your whole look.

Try changing your sunglasses. If you need some inspiration, here are some of the best movie characters of all time.

1. Jordan Belfort

If you don’t know this name, you have probably missed out on a lot of things. Jordan Belfort is the character from Wolf of the Wall Street played by Leonardo di Caprio. Rings a bell?

If you are someone who dabbles in the busy stock markets, this is the look for you. Investment bankers, business analysts, entrepreneurs, you probably have no time even to breathe. Take a breather and wear sunglasses. Mate, who says you can’t look stylish while you are busy.

Grab a similar style of tortoiseshell sunglasses in wayfarer style.

2. Penny Lane

Have you watched Almost Famous? The titular role of Penny Lane played by Kate Hudson took our hearts and those sunglasses were cool too. Despite the hedonist lifestyle of the rock era, you cannot deny the fashion.

Translucent glasses are stylish. They still are. Try out similar purple translucent sunglasses in cat-eye style. Translucent sunglasses will give you the chic look and cat-eye style will magically reduce your age.

3. Anna Scott

If you have watched Notting Hill, then you can recognise this scene. Julia Roberts inside a bookstore wearing a black cap with black cat-eye sunglasses. She looks like a diva, of course, she was portraying a diva. Try out cat-eye sunglasses yourself and bring out the diva within you.

You can get a slightly similar pair of sunglasses from Specscart in grey tint. Don’t think the style is too old or out of fashion. Cat-eye sunglasses are still the trendiest sunglasses. Julia Roberts was just ahead in time by a few decades.

4. Tyler Durden

Tyler Durden people? The name sounds common but this was the character played by Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Metal Rimmed Sunglasses, red tints, stylish right?

Sunglasses in thin metal rim give you a bold style look. Wearing red tints won’t work for many common (non-celebrities) people.

You can try out a similar metal frame style with different colours of tints.

5. Captain America

Chris Evans is handsome. And with sunglasses, he should be banned from getting out. If beauty was a sin, this guy already topped the charts.

Try out his style of sunglasses. I know, nobody can match a speck of his shoes, but who even wants to get compared with this handsome. His style of outfit and sunglasses are worth taking inspiration from.

Try out a similar style from Specscart and a much cheaper one. You will get the same bold and charming look wearing these sunglasses.

6. Sarrah Connor

A woman in a badass role is quite amazing. Linda Hamilton as Sarrah Connor in Terminator looks bold, daring and not someone that could be taken lightly.

To get a Sarah Connor bold look, you can try to wear aviators. You can choose aviators that fit your face shape. Aviators can bring out your bold nature. You will look reliable.

Try out black metal round sunglasses to get a bold and daring look.

7. Terminator

I watched Terminator so long back that I hardly remember what I even watched. But I do remember the stylish look of Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing rectangular sunglasses. A fitting pair of sunglasses for a strong and bulky man. Wearing these sunglasses, nobody would dare mess with you.

Apart from the intimidating look, (which is not possible to have if you are not that bulky), you look stylish and outgoing. You look reliable.

8. Olive Penderghast

Who has not gone through that phase? A teenager trying to be cool.

We all have been there. Emma Stone in Easy A was stylish with her sunglasses. You don’t have to be a teenager to copy this style of sunglasses.

Wayfarer sunglasses are perfect sunglasses for going outdoors. Wayfarer means traveller. If you like travelling this style is meant for yours. Even if you are a couch potato and only travel by browsing your internet, you can still wear wayfarers.

These cool sunglasses will rub off their coolness on you.

9. James Bond

The James Bond franchise has been for a long time. Over the decades, we have seen many James Bond with stylish sunglasses and his unforgettable flair. (And we also see many of our friends imitating the Bond way of introducing themselves, and hilariously failing.)

Wear a black wayfarer to get a bold and charming style.

10. Driver

Ryan Gosling as a driver in the movie Drive living his heroic fantasies. Everyone dreams of being a hero. It doesn’t have to be as big (dangerous) as the driver in this movie.

You can wear a similar style of aviators and go on a long drive looking for inspirations, fun experiences or just to relieve your mind.

11. Wolverine

An X-Men movie is incomplete without this iconic character and my all-time favourite Wolverine. A man who doesn’t die obviously the style that doesn’t fade, try the thin but strong metal frames with double brows.

A strong character like Wolverine needed strong-looking sunglasses. If you want to add some of the charms of wolverine, try out a similar style of frames.

12. Men in Black

Dressing up in all black? Try out a mysterious look wearing an all-black outfit and matching black sunglasses. Black always looks stylish.

You might not look as handsome as Will Smith. But hey! There’s no harm in trying.

13. Elle Wood

Legally blonde’s Elle Woods, a stylish attorney played by Reese Witherspoon is a worth remembering character. Although most of the court cases were subpar at times, who digs for logic in movies. It’s all for fun and Elle Woods was a fun character. Ladies, if you love pink, like a typical lady, pink sunglasses are worth having in your closet.

You can try this similar style but with different colour shades from Specscart.

14. Axel Foley

Edie Murphy donned stylish aviators to play the role of street smart Detroit Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop. The Huge aviators make his character bold and daring. If you also want to get the tough guy look, you can try out aviators. If you are in a similar profession where you have to look tough, aviators are for you.

Not these very huge aviators. You can wear similar brown aviators in a more conservative fashion, like these smart trendy brown sunglasses from Specscart.
