It’s November, and men everywhere are growing their absolute best mustache to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues via a movement dubbed Movember.
Movember is an annual charity event aimed at highlighting health issues in men such as cancer and suicide. As a fun way to shed light on not-so-light issues, the Movember foundation encourages those who wouldn’t normally sport facial hair to let it grow all November long.
Since Movember was founded in 2003, they’ve raised over $830 million in 20+ countries. From average joes to Hollywood celebrities, millions of men (and women) join forces each year to support the cause.
If you too are planning on joining the Movember movement this year, you’ll want to make sure you pair your stache with the perfect pair of glasses. In honor of Movember and to help you pick a great pair of glasses for your November stache’, we’ve put together a list of iconic men with mustaches who also just happen to sport a snazzy pair of specs.
