Known for being a smooth operator on the pitch, Varane also pretty slick off of it. As an ambassador for BOSS Eyewear, he often wears the brand, and the slim-cut suits and sporty influences suit him. ‘I like fashion but I don’t wear anything extreme. Some people are more extravagant,’ he says (politely).

The French defender, who is well-known for his sophisticated appearance on and off the field, has recently picked up the skill of posing for a professional picture shoot.

Varane wears a variety of chic eyeglasses throughout the photo session, showcasing his ability to easily blend refinement with an athletic edge. He exudes charisma and confidence. His effortless grace and charisma come through, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the BOSS Eyewear brand.

The BOSS Eyewear collection features optical frames and sunglasses crafted with a mix of eco-friendly and recycled materials, and finished in a range of retro-inspired shapes and shades. ‘I have a few different pairs I love from the new collection,’ says Varane. ‘Boss is very much my style. It’s a classic, quality brand.’

He won’t discuss who at United is the most fashionable, but he claims to have a good reputation among teammates. He grins and explains that French culture values style.
