Vuarnet’s origins in the late 1950s, when it began manufacturing Alpine lenses and apparel, came at the height of Hollywood’s influence on these perennial accessories. The sense of effortless style that stars such as Audrey Hepburn and Steve McQueen helped to popularize is evident in the new Vuarnet Belvedere 08 and 09 sunglasses, available in multiple color options and hitting the market in time for summer.

The collection opens with the Vuarnet Belvedere 08, featuring a sleekly curved acetate lens and frame design, finished with the iconic Vuarnet mineral lenses that helped establish the brand’s reputation. The pantos-shaped design ensures optional protection, while color options, including black, gray, black tortoise, and transparent gray, are available with complementary lens colors.

Next up in the collection is the Vuarnet Belvedere 09, a medium-sized pair of sunglasses with a versatile unisex approach to design that keeps things minimal. It sports rectangular lenses with excellent eye coverage, offering the best possible protection from harmful sunlight rays without compromising the wearer’s vision. There’s also a larger version better suited to people with larger faces, while each is available in color options such as black, transparent gray, and black tortoise.

Lens polarization isn’t available with every lens and frame color combination; if this is essential for your shades, you’ll be restricted to the black tortoise color option. For everyone else, the Vuarnet Belvedere 08 and 09 sunglasses offer a perfect blend of resilient performance and style for everyday wear.
