Dandy and smart! Monocles

Monocles, together with a silk hat and a cane, are enough to make the perfect English gentleman. Characters wearing monocles look incredibly smart, don't they? Monocles are quite the strange invention: glasses that are only applied to a single eye! There are a couple of different ways to wear them. They can rest on your nose thank you to a bridge attached to the frame of the lens, or they can simply be held in your eyes socket. They come off easier than regular spectacles, so characters wearing a monocle have to do their best in order to keep it on!

Today we feature a number of illustrations depicting monocles. Enjoy!
