Best Persol Sunglasses

Show some Italian style in iconic Persol sunglasses — a favorite of movie stars (the 714 was worn by Steve McQueen in “The Thomas Crown Affair”) and a staple of Vogue. It’s no wonder Persol epitomizes chic — the brand started in Turin in 1917, when photographer Giuseppe Ratti, owner of Berry Opticians, realized that the invention of the motor car and airplane called for a new kind of eye protection for sports drivers and pilots. His goal of style and comfort with optimum vision continues, with classic Persol sunglass designs staying true to their design heritage while offering modern updates like UVA/UVB protection in both polarized and non-polarized versions.
