Saint Laurent SL901 HOWL Sunglasses
Elongated Sunglasses with Sharp Saint Laurent Attitude
The Saint Laurent SL 901 Howl captures the unmistakable tension between sharp minimalism and after-dark glamour through a sleek elongated silhouette that feels instinctive, polished, and quietly rebellious.
Designed with narrow proportions and fluid lines, the frame sits close to the face with a controlled confidence that feels deeply connected to Saint Laurent’s modern aesthetic. The silhouette references retro-inspired shapes, but the sharper execution and cleaner structure keep the overall look unmistakably contemporary.
There’s something effortless about the way the SL 901 Howl carries presence. Nothing oversized, nothing unnecessary — just disciplined proportions, dark lenses, and a silhouette that feels naturally cinematic without trying too hard to become a statement.
Crafted in Japan from premium acetate, the frame is hand-polished to a rich luminous finish that enhances the clean architecture of the design. Slim temples engraved with the discreet Saint Laurent signature preserve the purity of the silhouette and keep the focus on line, proportion, and attitude.
The dark tinted lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection while creating a colder and more composed visual character. In daylight the frame feels sharp and refined; after dark, it takes on the unmistakable mood that defines the Howl collection.
What makes the SL 901 Howl especially compelling is its restraint. The frame creates impact quietly — through silhouette, fit, and the confidence of keeping everything controlled.
More than an accessory, the SL 901 Howl feels like part of a uniform: sleek, deliberate, and instinctively Saint Laurent.
Ideal for:
- slim fashion-forward styling
- monochrome wardrobes
- refined everyday sunglasses
- wearers looking for elongated Saint Laurent silhouettes with sharper proportions
The overall effect feels sleek, nocturnal, and naturally self-assured.
SAINT LAURENT — elegance sharpened through instinct and restraint.

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.
