Extravagant styling was his trademark. He has been wearing glasses since he was a child
He started his career in the early 1960s, playing mainly covers in the Northwood Hill pub. It was then that he began to work on his individual style of dressing. He wanted to stand out not only with his voice, but also with his appearance. He wore T-shirts with original prints, tight shorts and knee-high socks. He also focused on original accessories, i.e. shoes with a 20-centimeter wedge and extravagant shapes, including: frames with the image of a dwarf. It is true that in the late 1970s he abandoned his flashy image for a while in favor of subdued outfits, but soon he started experimenting with makeup again. No matter what style he preferred at a given time, glasses were his inseparable element, and today they are his trademark.
It turns out that Elton John wore it from early childhood. His passion for this accessory began when he was forced to wear them due to a vision defect. Back then, no one considered them a fashionable element of clothing, but rather a necessity, which often made them fall victim to jokes from their peers. However, he did not intend to give up and from his apparent imperfection he created something with which people all over the world associate him.
What does Elton John look like without glasses? You will be surprised
Although he underwent vision correction surgery a few years ago, it is still a challenge to find a photo in which he is not wearing glasses. The vigilantes managed to capture the moment when he appeared without them for literally a few seconds. In 2020, he took them off in front of the cameras at the Golden Globe Awards. The shot quickly hit the X website (formerly Twitter), causing a sensation among Internet users.
