Persol Round Sunglasses, 50mm

Product Insights & Style Tips

Persol’s 50mm round sunglasses are pure old-world attitude with a fresh, modern pulse—the kind of shades that read vintage without tipping into costume. The Havana frame has that signature Persol depth, brown tortoise swirling under glossy acetate, while the solid green lenses pull in just enough color to feel storied and sophisticated. There’s a tactile substance to these: smooth, weighty, with the subtle shine of handcrafted Italian materials and just enough structure to the round profile to make them feel sharp, not sweet.

Fit-wise, the 50mm lenses strike that elusive balance—sized to skim the high points of the cheekbones, roomy enough to sit easy but not oversized. The arms hug the head gently with Persol’s iconic Meflecto flexible stem system, so they stay comfortably in place through long city days and impromptu getaways. Tuck them into a shirt pocket or the handle of your weekender bag; they hold their own, adapting from a tailored coat to a faded tee seamlessly. The green tinted lenses offer a refined contrast to the Havana frame, giving a crisp, true-color view that moves effortlessly from bright mornings to dusk-lit patios.

Persol has always been about a cultivated cool that spans decades—worn by icons from Steve McQueen to designers on holiday. These round sunglasses nod to both eras and avant-garde edits, making them a natural paring partner for anything from silk suiting to a breezy slip dress this season.
