While we could go on and on all day about the classic “McQueen” 649, Persol has us newly smitten with a new collection of eyewear inspired by vintage roadsters. Available in two models, the Roadster GT and TF are timeless aviator shapes with details such as Meflecto temples with rounded cylinders that take their inspiration from car air vents and special finishing on the ends of the temples that have a grill-like design, but also serve a functional purpose for improving comfort. The lenses also make for the ideal driving sunglass with polarized and photochromic lenses that not only dial down the glare, but also darkens the lens as the day gets brighter.
