Saint Laurent SL881 Aviator Sunglasses
Heatwave Glamour
The SL 881 feels sun-drenched, decadent, and slightly reckless — like Saint Laurent somewhere between the desert and the city at 3am.
The aviator silhouette is oversized and fluid, but unlike traditional pilot frames, everything here feels softer and more sensual. The curves melt into the face rather than sitting rigidly on it, giving the sunglasses a kind of effortless glamour that feels deeply rooted in the Saint Laurent universe.
There’s something beautifully lazy about the proportions. The frame doesn’t feel engineered for perfection — it feels lived-in, instinctive, almost hedonistic. Exactly where Saint Laurent becomes most powerful.
The tinted lenses create a hazy, distant mood — less about hiding the eyes and more about changing the atmosphere around them.
What makes the SL 881 especially compelling is its attitude. It doesn’t feel corporate, technical, or overly clean. It feels like fashion worn emotionally — slightly nocturnal, slightly decadent, completely self-assured.
The result is glamour without perfection. Which makes it even more Saint Laurent.
SAINT LAURENT — beautiful things look better slightly undone.

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.
