Saint Laurent SL900 HOWL Sunglasses
Oversized Square Sunglasses in Dark Brown Acetate
The Saint Laurent SL 900 Howl takes on a richer and more atmospheric mood in dark brown acetate, giving the oversized square silhouette a softer depth while preserving its sharp Saint Laurent edge.
Designed with a bold oversized structure and strong geometric lines, the frame creates immediate presence on the face through sculptural volume and controlled proportions. The square silhouette feels powerful and highly fashion-driven, yet the warmer dark brown tone softens the overall expression compared to a pure black frame.
The polished dark brown acetate adds dimension and warmth to the silhouette, allowing light to move subtly across the surface and reveal depth throughout the construction. The result feels slightly more relaxed and fluid while maintaining the strong architectural identity of the Howl collection.
Crafted in Italy from premium acetate, the SL 900 Howl features a hand-polished finish that enhances the richness and clarity of the material. The thicker sculptural front gives the frame a luxurious weight and presence, balanced by slim temples and discreet Saint Laurent detailing that keep the design clean and highly controlled.
The dark tinted lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection while reinforcing the composed and monochromatic mood of the frame. Combined with the deeper brown acetate, they create a softer contrast that feels elegant, cinematic, and naturally refined.
What makes the dark brown version especially compelling is its balance between boldness and warmth. The oversized square silhouette remains dramatic and instantly recognisable, but the richer tone gives the frame a more effortless and wearable sophistication.
Ideal for:
- oversized luxury styling
- warm monochrome wardrobes
- sculptural fashion-forward sunglasses
- wearers looking for bold Saint Laurent silhouettes with softer tonal depth
The overall effect feels rich, polished, and instinctively confident — oversized glamour carried with complete control.
SAINT LAURENT — sculptural glamour refined through depth, warmth, and proportion.

Size and Fit
I understand the importance of a proper fitting frame. Not every frame fits every face, which is why we have a wide selection of frame sizes to choose from.
There are no rules – just guidelines we suggest to help you find frames that not only look great but fit perfectly.
HOW WE SEE YOU
Size definitely matters. We determine size by the width of your face. We offer multiple sizes so that you can find the right frame for your face.
If you already wear glasses, we recommend looking at your current pair as a size reference. If you still have doubt we are here to help you with professional advice.
BRIDGE – INTERNATIONAL OR ALTERNATIVE/ASIAN FITTING
Acetate nose pads: Made from Italian or Japanese acetate. Comfortable, classic fit. Recommended for those who prefer the look of acetate.
Metal nose pads: Made from silicone or ceramic. Soft, flexible, anti-allergic. Recommended for those needing additional support for less prominent nose bridges or more prominent cheekbones.
FIND YOUR FACE SHAPE
Oval
Balanced and slightly narrow, the oval face is a canvas for experimentation. Almost any silhouette will look good on you. Luxury lies in the choice.
Heart
Wide forehead, high cheekbones and a narrow jawline. This shape is expressive and romantic. Choose a sharp-edged or gently curved cat-eye shape or a balanced aviator shape that softens the contrast and emphasizes the proportions.
Square
A strong jawline, higher forehead, and symmetrical brow line characterize this sculptural face. Choose rounded or elliptical frames to soften the angularity and enhance natural strength with graceful restraint.
Rectangle
Long and slender, with delicate lines. Here, it is worth choosing frames that give width and dimension to create harmony. Oversized or deep-set profiles bring visual balance to the more elongated shape.
Triangle
Defined by a more pronounced jawline, a finer forehead, and an elegant contrast between cheekbones. Choose round or square frames with sharp lines that harmoniously balance the proportions.
Round
A full face and delicate contours radiate warmth and symmetry. In contrast, square frames elongate and define the face.
There are no rules – just guidelines. Explore, get inspired and choose frames that make you feel confident, happy and most importantly, yourself.
