Persol 2855V

THE ASKMEN TAKE

Eyeglasses are underrated. Most guys fail to see what a definingelement of style their eyewear can be -- but that’s all about to change. Some guys might do a double take (the ladies surely will) when they see Persol’s 2855V frames. That’s because these richly designed rectangular frames bring a sleek sophistication to almost any man’s face. With the smooth black polish of the rims, adorned with Persol’s signature supreme arrow at the hinges, guys sporting these specs will feel instantly smarter and classier. The 2885V frames combine top-notch design with first-rate style.

75 UNIQUENESS

When it comes to men’s eyewear, especially prescription glasses, few names stand out. There is one, however, that is far and away a true visionary: Persol. For the past 100 years, Persol has relied on research, innovation and quality to bring exceptional styling to eyewear. If you consider its design elements, like the Meflecto system and Victor Flex, which both lend comfort, and the supreme arrow adornment, you know that the brand itself is in a league of its own.

And to make that concept a reality, look no further than the Persol 2855V frames. These classically rectangular frames are anything but square, and their bold black styling brings heavy-duty class to the wearer, albeit the heavier frame won’t work for every guy out there. In a simple word, the 2855Vs are unmistakable. They are an unrelenting fashion spectacle unrivaled by any other frames.

 DURABILITY

The Italians know how to build things. Their architecture, automobiles and recipes are coveted worldwide. And for those who are familiar with Persol, that list gets one more addition: eyewear. One of Italy’s premier eyewear makers, Persol is built on a century-old pedigree that’s predicated on quality and innovation.

The 2855V eyeglasses are an exquisite example. Not only are they built to last, thanks to Persol’s Meflecto system, which gives the frames inherent flexibility to adapt to the wearer’s face, but these frames also offer definitive style with their sturdy construction and trademark Persol arrow. They are a robust set of frames in terms of both look and durability, making them the perfect mixture of form and function. You may find similar frames for a lesser price, but you won’t find any constructed as brilliantly as these Italian beauties.
