Sunglasses

PO3281S

Persol · £258

A pair of sunglasses shown from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

£258 for a phantos frame in polished terra di siena acetate, which is the shape Persol are actually known for: rounder than an aviator, squarer than a round, and the one that suits most faces without announcing itself. Persol make these in Italy and the hinges are the part you notice in year five.

For
Someone who wants one pair that works with a suit and with a t-shirt.
Not for
Anyone who wants to be noticed: this is deliberately quiet.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
