Benedict's glasses
Today I googled to find out if Benedict is really needing glasses because we saw him wearing glasses more often lately. Here is a tumblr site which IMO explains quite well that he really needs glasses: . What do you think? 
BTW: I love him with glasses!

Re: Benedict's glasses
Thank you, I wondered about that but then I think he would not wear them just for fashion purposes only. So this is the proof.
I am not an optician but someone on tumblr pointed out that the glasses do not fit really well. You can see that they are placed high above his ears while the temple stems usually sit close to the upper side of the ears. Maybe he should have them fit but apart from that they look really great on him. I would not mind if he wore them more often.

Everytime I see him in his glasses the song "Hot for Teacher" starts playing in my head.

Re: Benedict's glasses
That is really cool! You have to love the science of our fan community!
The glasses look amazing on him, they give a whole new dimension to him and I very much approve!

Re: Benedict's glasses
I am in the minority here - I just don't like these type of glasses on him. There are other frames he could wear that would suit him better.

Re: Benedict's glasses
I don't know whether you are in the minority or not, but I love the glasses and would be happy if he wore them all the time.

Re: Benedict's glasses
I love them, but I'd also love to see him wearing another type of glasses eventually. I guess the effect of the glasses also always tends to depend on the hair cut and the colour of his hair.
