Collection: Saint Laurent Unisex Sunglasses

Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses are the frames that refuse to be boxed in by gender, and at Ardor Eyewear we have gathered the authentic range in one place for UK shoppers who want a pair that looks as good shared as it does solo. These are the designs from the maison's catalogue that sit comfortably on any face: clean masks, balanced rounds, slim metals and confident squares stripped of overtly feminine or masculine cues. Models such as the SL 572, the sculptural SL 756 cat-eye, the SL 782/K, the bold SL 364 Mask, the SL 738 and the slimline SL 715 Slim prove that the most modern way to wear luxury eyewear is to choose the shape you love and ignore the label on the box. As an authorised stockist, every pair we ship is 100% genuine.

What makes Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses so versatile

The appeal of a unisex frame is simple: it is designed around proportion and attitude rather than gendered conventions, which makes it flatter a far wider range of faces. Saint Laurent has always understood this. The house built its reputation in part on androgynous glamour — tailoring and silhouettes that looked equally striking on anyone — and that philosophy carries straight into its eyewear. A Saint Laurent mask, round or square frame is conceived as a piece of design first, which is why so many of its bestsellers are happily worn across genders.

That versatility has practical benefits too. A unisex pair can be shared within a household, gifted without second-guessing, and styled across completely different wardrobes. The restrained branding — usually just a slim "SL" at the temple — keeps the focus on the shape and the quality, never on a logo. Across this collection you will find the clean lines, generous coverage and rock-and-roll edge the maison is known for, rendered in shapes that genuinely suit everyone.

Iconic shapes in the Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses range

Several silhouettes anchor this edit, each with its own character:

  • The mask styles, such as the SL 364 Mask, wrap the face in a single sculpted lens for bold, fashion-forward coverage — a true statement frame.
  • The cat-eye SL 756 offers an upswept, timeless shape that reads as confident rather than overtly feminine, especially in a darker acetate.
  • The slim rectangles like the SL 715 Slim channel a sleek, retro-futurist look that has become a street-style favourite.
  • The rounded and panto frames bring an intellectual, vintage-tinged elegance.
  • The squares, including the SL 572, are clean and architectural, easy to wear and endlessly versatile.

If you are drawn to a particular silhouette, you can focus your search through shape edits such as round sunglasses, square sunglasses and cat-eye sunglasses, where Saint Laurent sits alongside other houses for easy comparison.

Choosing Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses for your face shape

Because these frames are designed around proportion, matching shape to face is the key to a great fit:

  • Round faces are balanced by square and rectangular frames that add definition.
  • Square faces are softened by round, oval and cat-eye styles that ease strong angles.
  • Oval faces can wear almost anything, from a bold mask to a slim metal frame.
  • Heart-shaped faces suit lighter frames and rounded lower edges that balance a wider forehead.
  • Longer faces benefit from taller, more generous frames that add width.

To buy confidently online, match the lens, bridge and temple measurements inside a pair you already own to your chosen frame. You can also browse our wider sunglasses collection to compare proportions across many shapes before deciding.

The rise of unisex eyewear and where Saint Laurent fits

Unisex eyewear is more than a passing trend — it reflects a real shift in how people shop for fashion. Increasingly, buyers care about whether a frame suits their face and their style rather than which section of the catalogue it sits in, and brands have responded by designing pieces that look intentional on anyone. Saint Laurent is unusually well placed in this space, because gender-fluid glamour has been part of its identity from the very beginning. The maison made its name on tailoring and silhouettes that borrowed freely across traditional lines, and its eyewear continues that story with shapes that are bold, clean and free of fussy gendered detailing.

For shoppers, the practical upshot is freedom. A unisex Saint Laurent frame can be chosen purely on the merits of its shape, scale and tint, then styled however suits the wearer. It can be shared between partners, bought as a confident gift, or simply worn without overthinking what it is "supposed" to be. That openness, combined with the maison's reputation for quality and cool, is exactly why its unisex sunglasses have become some of the most sought-after frames in luxury eyewear — pieces that feel current, considered and genuinely for everyone.

Materials, lenses and UV protection

Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses are crafted from premium cellulose acetate and quality metal alloys, often combined for the best of both: the depth and substance of acetate with the slim lightness of metal. Mask frames are typically a single moulded acetate sweep, while metal styles feature adjustable nose pads for an easy, comfortable fit on any face. Sprung hinges on many models add durability for daily wear.

Every pair offers full UV protection to guard your eyes against harmful rays, and tints range from classic deep black through smoke, brown and on-trend colour washes. If you spend time driving, near water or in bright snow, polarised lenses cut glare significantly and reduce eye strain — explore the options in our polarised sunglasses collection. To keep your sunglasses pristine, clean the lenses with lukewarm soapy water, dry with the supplied cloth, and store them in their case away from heat.

Prescription options and why buy from Ardor Eyewear

Many Saint Laurent unisex frames in this collection can be glazed with your prescription at Ardor Eyewear, in single vision, varifocal or bifocal, with tinted or photochromic lenses to suit how you live. If prescription sun lenses are your priority, our prescription sunglasses collection gathers the most suitable frames. Every pair we sell is genuine and supplied as an authorised stockist, with the official case and cloth — never a replica. UK delivery is free, prescription glazing usually takes around 7–10 working days, and our 14-day returns policy (return postage paid by the customer) lets you order with confidence. With unisex Saint Laurent frames here ranging from around £190 to £295, you are buying genuine Parisian design built to be worn and loved for years.

Styling Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses

The beauty of a unisex frame is that it adapts to whoever is wearing it and whatever they have on. A black mask or square acetate brings instant edge to a leather jacket, tailoring or a simple white tee and jeans — the rock-and-roll undertone the maison is known for. Slim metal frames lean cleaner and more classic, working with smart-casual and formalwear alike, while a cat-eye in dark acetate reads as confidently androgynous rather than overtly feminine. Tortoiseshell adds warmth for relaxed weekends, and colour-washed lenses bring a contemporary, fashion-forward note for summer. Because the branding is so understated, these frames never look try-hard; they simply complete a considered outfit, whoever it belongs to.

Think about your wider wardrobe when choosing a tint, too. Classic black and smoke lenses are the most versatile and pair with everything, while brown and warmer tints flatter earthy, tonal outfits. If you split your time between city streets and bright open spaces, a polarised lens earns its keep by cutting glare and easing eye strain. The neutrality of a unisex frame means you can commit to a bolder shape than you might in a gendered style, because it will sit comfortably across far more looks.

Caring for your Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses

Looking after a pair of Saint Laurent unisex sunglasses keeps both the frame and the lenses in top condition for years. Clean the lenses with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap to remove sun cream, salt and oils, then dry with the supplied microfibre cloth — never a tissue or shirt tail, which can scratch the tint. Store the sunglasses in their case whenever they are not on your face, and keep them away from prolonged heat, which can warp acetate and loosen joints. On metal and combination frames, the adjustable nose pads can be fine-tuned for comfort, and an occasional check of the hinge screws keeps everything sitting square. Because these are shared-friendly frames that may move between wearers, a quick wipe-down between uses also keeps them fresh.

It is worth thinking about lens choice in the context of how the glasses will be used. If they are likely to be worn by more than one person across different settings — city commutes, country walks, time near water — a polarised lens is a versatile all-rounder that cuts glare in the brightest conditions. Photochromic lenses suit anyone moving frequently between bright and shaded environments, while a classic deep tint keeps things simple and timeless. Every lens here offers full UV protection, so whoever reaches for the frame is properly shielded.
