SL496 Round-Frame Acetate Sunglasses

When it comes to sunnies, Saint Laurent is no stranger to experimenting with silhouettes – heart shapes and exaggerated cat-eyes are in a day’s work for the Parisian Maison. Keeping things slightly more low-key, the SL496 sunglasses offer a unique riff on the classic round frame – note how they’re slightly angular at the corners and squared off at the sides. Staying true to the pared-back look, the branding is subtly engraved at the temples.
