[[File:Lennon_Specs_8958Lennon Specs 8958.png|frame]]

'''Lennon Specs''' is a type of sunglasses with perfectly round lenses, preferably black or red. They are, not surprisingly, named after [[John Lennon]]. They are mostly commonly worn by [[Beatnik|beatniksbeatnik]]s, hippies and - since they are uncommon and noticeable - unconventional but notable characters.

Thanks to John Lone in ''[[The Last Emperor]]'', they're known as 'Pu Yi' glasses in Chinese-speaking countries .<ref>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</ref>.
