It takes a really special pair of sunglasses to turn our heads. We’ve gotten so used to our trusted pairs — the aviators we wear for retro flair, the oversized shades we use to cover up how little sleep we got the night before, the classic square shape that seems to go with every outfit — that we forget how it feels to stumble upon something that’s innovative and exciting.
For over 100 years, Persol has been known for its iconic eyewear all built from the same DNA: high-quality frames, unique craftsmanship, and a long-lasting heritage. But as the brand looks towards summer, it’s reimagining its legacy with a fresh perspective, introducing new styles and trends that nod to the past and celebrate what’s to come. The latest collection offers a range of contemporary designs for fashion lovers, giving us a reason to replace our old reliables with something just as timeless, but with a twist.
If the summer sun is calling on you for a new pair of shades (and we all know it is), Persol’s new line-up is suitable for every occasion. From cult-favorite shapes with the brand’s trademark acetate accents to vibrant colors that dress up casual looks and lend a cool factor to dressier ones, shop seven of our must-haves below and let the season of quiet luxury commence.
