Elton John's sunglasses

It is not known for certain who has the largest collection of sunglasses in the world, but an ideal candidate is certainly Elton John . Each of us remembers him wearing glasses, most often sunglasses but also prescription glasses, always extravagant but very glamorous. The singer declared that his collection includes over 250,000 glasses and made headlines for having booked an entire hotel room to accommodate all his clothing accessories. The numbers in his collection are certainly destined to grow further, because it seems that Elton can't resist buying new glasses.

The English singer has never hidden his passion for fashion. Since his musical debut in 1970 with the album that bears his name, Reginald Kenneth Dwight, aka Elton John, has shown off flared trousers, Roman tunics, patterned shirts, colorful suits, furs, crystals and feathers. But what made Elton John an icon of his kind was perhaps his glasses. In her kaleidoscope of clothes and accessories, they have never been missing, so much so that they have become the essence of her extravagant, eccentric, ironic style.

Born in the town of Pinner on 25 March 1947, Elton was able to earn the title of glam rock icon with his irreverence. Even if he likes to define himself differently: «I wasn't glam rock, nor was David Bowie – he told Vogue in 2020. – I was myself, an ordinary boy who wore these clothes and these glasses. I wanted there to be humor in my costumes."

Elton John knew how to have fun and reinvent himself through fashion. A game in which sunglasses have always been the protagonists . As Billy Joel joked: "In his dressing room, there are thousands of glasses, a hundred models of shoes and more or less 50 dresses"

In the early 2000s she married her partner David Furnish and they had two children. A new style phase begins: she leaves her extroverted looks for monochrome. One accessory will never abandon him and will never stop being eccentric: glasses. Colored lenses and refined frames are enhanced even more by these more sober outfits.

He recently said he has more than 250,000 sunglasses. Everyone has their passion and, apparently, Elton John's is collecting glasses. The news that in Brazil, during the 2013 tour, he booked an extra room just to put his beloved objects there caused controversy.
