Music legend Bob Dylan’s 3 most iconic looks
American singer-songwriter is known for his trademark Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, love of wearing hats and his electric Fender Stratocaster guitar
Singer-songwriter, poet, author, painter, legend and icon, American Bob Dylan, unlike the title one of his most famous songs, The Times They Are a-Changing, has always remained relatively consistent – in his music and his distinctive look – compared with other notable musicians of his generation, such as the late, chameleon-like David Bowie.
During a career stretching over more than five decades, three iconic items can be deemed as truly “Dylan” – all of which you can acquire to give yourself that “look” – just like Bob.
Dylan – born Robert Zimmerman in 1941 – and his band will be performing in concert at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, in Wan Chai on August 4, as part of a tour that also includes dates in Japan, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
Ray-Ban Wayfarers
Almost a must-have worldwide fashion item today, Dylan first wore Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses in the mid-60s. He was wearing them during the June 1965 recording sessions for Like a Rolling Stone, one of his greatest hits.
Along with another ’60s American singer Roy Orbison, Dylan was one of the artists who helped to make the sunglasses look COOL
You can pick up your own pair of the iconic sunglasses for about US$150.
