Round glasses are all the rage this season as designers and the celebs who love them send the visual queue that vintage glam is so right now—or is it Harry Potter they’re channeling?
Vintage geek goggle glasses for men and women were spotted on the runways of Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, Zegna and Lanvin. Lady Gaga’s round glasses are getting quite a bit of attention too.

Credit crunch got you down? You can still go for the John Lennon look with cheap round glasses; budget-friendly sun goggles are available everywhere from Urban Outfitters to Fred Flare.
