[[note]]The original LennonSpecs were a pair of Salvation Army eyeglasses Music/JohnLennon first wore in 1966 after [[Music/TheBeatles The Beatles']] last American tour came to an end, as John was in Almeria, Spain filming his role as Private Gripweed in Richard Lester's surreal comedy, ''HowIWonTheWar''. They were the first pair Lennon wore regularly in public from that point on (Lennon was legally blind without them).[[/note]]

* ''Animation/MyLove'': Serafima, one of the two women that young Anton is in love with, is never seen without her blue-tinted Lennon Specs. They seem to reinforce the impression that she is dark and seductive and mysterious (after all, in UsefulNotes/TsaristRussia, it's a unique look). However, in TheReveal we find out that she wears them for [[EyeScream a completely different reason]].

* In one ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' storyline (''[[http://www.uncannyxmen.net/db/issues/showquestion.asp?fldauto=4446 X-Men: Divided]]''). the X-Men are tracking down a group of hippies who have used Lady Mastermind's mind control powers to turn the Haight-Ashbury area back to the way it was in the sixties. Emma Frost mentally alters their clothing to fit in, and Cyclops's visor turns into ruby-quartz Lennon specs.

Lennon Specs is a type of sunglasses with perfectly round lenses, preferably black or red, made famous by Music/JohnLennon. They are mostly commonly worn by [[{{Beatnik}} beatniks]], hippies and - since they are uncommon and noticeable - unconventional but notable characters. Thanks to John Lone in ''Film/TheLastEmperor'', they're known as 'Pu Yi' glasses in Chinese-speaking countries. [[note]]For some reason, these characters tends to be collaborationist traitors (especially when they are worn together with a changshan and a fedora) in Chinese historical films.[[/note]]

A subtrope of CoolShades. See also TriangleShades. Furthermore, please note that perfectly round but clear glasses, despite also having been worn by John Lennon, do not fall under this trope (those would be [[Literature/HarryPotter Potter]] specs). Neither do oval sunglasses, square-ish sunglasses with rounded edges, or any other type of sunglasses with less than perfectly round lenses.
