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 has a reputation for dressing elegantly on and off the football field, has recently mastered the art of professional photo posing.

Varane wears a variety of fashionable eyeglasses in the picture session, which showcases his ability to easily combine refinement with an athletic edge. He oozes charm and confidence. His innate charisma and composure come through, perfectly encapsulating the image of BOSS Eyewear.

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.
