Club Monaco Persol-styled Sunglasses – $49.98

Those look awfully familiar...
Those look awfully familiar...

Persol sunglasses were brought back to the mainstream’s attention by Daniel Craig  in Casino Royale.  Persol’s are one of the few brands of sunglasses that make a classy, stylish, plastic frame that’s not too over the top.  They’re good and substantial, but you won’t be mistaken for a snowboarder.

Good thing Club Monaco makes a pair that looks suspiciously like Persols, for a third of the price.

Same rounded rectangular frames, same black and tortoise shell color options, same silver-colored hinge.  And being that it’s from a pretty highly regarded retailer like Club Monaco, you won’t feel like you’re wearing a knock off.  Because you’re not.

Club Monaco is to Hilfiger, as Persol is to Ralph Lauren.  Still a solid name, just not nearly as expensive.

    Good catch!

    I can’t think of a downside of looking like Daniel Craig. I doubt anyone will be checking the branding on your specs, so who really cares what brand they are? This is a good alternative, as way too many sunglasses have reached stratospheric prices.
