Prada 57YS vs. Similar Prada Sunglasses
If you're drawn to the Prada 57YS's jewelry-inspired triangle logo temples, you're likely considering other contemporary Prada styles. Here's how the 57YS compares to two similar models in our collection.
Prada 57YS vs. Prada 17WS Symbole
Both the 57YS and the Prada 17WS Symbole represent Prada's modern approach to luxury eyewear, but they take different design directions. The 57YS features open geometric temples with engraved triangle inserts that match the lens colors—a bold architectural statement inspired by Prada's jewelry collection. The 17WS Symbole, meanwhile, offers a more classic rectangular shape with its own distinctive logo detailing.
The 57YS's irregular butterfly shape provides wider coverage and a more feminine silhouette, while the 17WS leans toward versatile, professional styling. If you want sunglasses that feel like a fashion accessory and you're comfortable with a statement temple design, the 57YS delivers. The 17WS suits those who prefer understated elegance. Price-wise, the 57YS starts at $303.78 compared to the 17WS at $350.38, and the 57YS offers more color variety including photochromic options.
Prada 57YS vs. Prada A51S
The Prada A51S shares the 57YS's triangle logo temple aesthetic—both feature temples embellished with Prada's iconic triangle inspired by their jewelry codes. The key difference is frame shape: the 57YS's irregular butterfly design versus the A51S's narrow rectangular geometry.
The 57YS is the better choice if you want more face coverage, a softer feminine look, and the option of photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light. The A51S appeals to those seeking sharp minimalist lines and a sleeker, more gender-neutral profile. The 57YS is also more accessible at $303.78–$563 compared to the A51S at $406.70–$578. Both are prescription-ready and built from quality metal, so your decision comes down to preferred aesthetics and how you plan to wear them.
Our recommendation: Choose the Prada 57YS if you're looking for a distinctive, jewelry-inspired sunglass with versatile lens options and a feminine butterfly shape at a competitive price point. The open temple design with color-matched triangle inserts makes these instantly recognizable as Prada, and the photochromic variants add all-day functionality that the other models don't offer.
