'''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>.
 
A subtrope of [[Cool Shades]]. See also [[Triangle Shades]]. Furthermore, please note that perfectly round but clear glasses, despite also having been worn by [[John Lennon]], do not fall under this trope. Neither do oval sunglasses, square-ish sunglasses with rounded edges, or any other type of sunglasses with less than perfectly round lenses.
