Steve McQueen was the highest-paid movie star of his time, a 21st century icon with a rebellious nature that matched up to his onscreen persona and earned him the nickname 'the king of cool.' Together with his natural, yet distinctive all American style and no-nonsense personality, Steve McQueen soon became the style icon of his time, and in ours.
Steve McQueen took classic American sportswear and turned it on its head by rewarding various pieces with a rugged, debonair edge. His hallmark ensemble was comprised of aviator sunglasses, well-tailored suits, zip-up windbreakers and polo shirts, plus denim, denim and more denim (a hot trend for 2010)
Those who dress, walk and talk the McQueen way will already own an every-day uniform of blue wash jeans, crisp white t-shirts and an all important leather jacket. Another quintessential Steve McQueen accessory is the Persol 0649 aviator, an absolute must-have for those looking to convey the ulta-cool style that Steve McQueen is favoured for - suitable for light riding, even if you don't intend on hoping on a motorcycle anytime soon.
Persol 0649 shades are based on the same model from The Thomas Crown Affair and score full marks in the style stakes. The tradition, quality and style of the design are the result of a series of patents, quality materials and workmanship, as well as the magic and charm of a silver screen icon. While they are clearly a life-long classic, these rock steady shades won't look out of place in a busy urban environment and exude masculine sex appeal in true McQueen style when teamed with the simple basics.
Persol 0649 sunglasses are truly special thanks to an exclusive system built within the stem. The system aims to reduce pressure on the head from the arms by allowing the sunglasses to naturally adapt to the shape of your head. The Meflecto system involves the placement of nylon or metal cylinders into the acetate stem, intersecting them with a flexible wire of harmonic steel using a well-studied procedure. Ten additional working processes are required in order to create the interior skeleton in comparison to a normal pair of sunglasses, which is precisely why Persol sunglasses cost slightly more than you average pair of sunnies. But as they say, you get what you pay for.
For most men, and even some women, Persol sunglasses are the answer due to their longevity and deep rooted association with the movie industry. The word Persol translates as 'for sun' in Italian and as the brand name implies, the eyewear-house sticks to the basics in terms of style. Persol sunglasses never compromise on style or practicality. They are a harmonious balance of the two.
