In New York City in 2017, Ryan Gosling wore the Persol PO0649 in a street style setting that matched his understated and polished off-duty look. The rounded shape and signature keyhole bridge added a classic, vintage-inspired element to the appearance, fitting naturally within an everyday urban context.
The PO0649's dark polished frame and clean architectural lines reflect Persol's Turin workshop heritage — hand-finished acetate, the Meflecto temple system, and the discreet Supreme Arrow hinge. On Gosling, the frame read as quiet and deliberate, the kind of choice that values construction over branding. In a city where street style is its own competitive sport, Gosling's Persols argued for the long view.
The Persol PO0649 is an iconic square-frame sunglasses model crafted from high-quality acetate, defined by its bold structure and distinctive keyhole bridge. Originally designed in the 1950s, it features thick rims and the signature Persol arrow at the temples.
Typically equipped with crystal lenses, including polarized options, it provides clear vision and reliable sun protection. The integrated Meflecto system ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
