OUR FRIENDS AT EUROPEAN FILM STAR POSTCARDS have a fabulous post on this very subject:  HOW TO WEAR A MONOCOLE 

In the 19th century, the monocle became a fashionable article for the dandy. A monocle is a type of corrective lens used for only one eye. It has a wire ring that, attached to a string, can be connected to your clothing so you can't lose your monocle. If customised, you can wear a monocle securely with little effort. Erich von Stroheim however demonstrated in his films that a monocle can pop. Countless comedies followed in which an upper-class gentleman affects a shocked expression and plop, his monocle falls into his drink or smashes to pieces on the floor. This post is a little tribute to all the monocle wearers of the screen.  READ AND SEE MUCH MORE AT https://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2022/02/how-to-wear-monocle.html
