DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Saint Laurent New Wave SL 1/F sunglasses bring the brand's iconic SL 1 design to a wider audience with an oversized Asian fit engineered for superior comfort. If you have a lower nose bridge, high cheekbones, or a wider face, this is the version you've been looking for—the same bold square silhouette that's been spotted on celebrities, now with a fit that actually works.

Asian Fit Design That Actually Fits

The "/F" designation signals an alternative fit frame with a lower bridge position and modified nose pad geometry. Instead of resting on your cheeks or sliding down your nose, these sunglasses sit exactly where they should. The 16mm bridge is positioned lower than standard frames, while the 58mm oversized square lenses provide generous coverage without pressure points. The full-rim acetate construction measures 145mm at the temples, with slightly curved temple arms that accommodate wider head shapes without pinching.

This isn't a compromise—it's how the SL 1 was meant to fit for people with flatter nose bridges and more pronounced cheekbones. The frames stay put when you smile, don't fog up from cheek contact, and distribute weight evenly across the bridge instead of concentrating it on two small points.

Prescription-Ready Luxury

These frames are fully compatible with prescription lenses, including single-vision, progressive, and polarized options. The 58mm lens width and 49mm lens height provide enough vertical depth for progressive corridors, while the stable acetate frame holds lenses securely. Whether you need distance correction, readers, or custom sun lenses with your Rx, the SL 1/F handles it—you get Saint Laurent style without sacrificing clear vision.

The black acetate frame pairs with solid grey lenses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. It's a unisex design that works across face shapes and personal styles, from minimalist to statement-making. Saint Laurent includes their branded case and cleaning cloth with every pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the "/F" mean in Saint Laurent SL 1/F?

The "/F" indicates this is an Asian fit or low bridge fit version of the standard SL 1 model. It features a lower bridge position, modified nose pad placement, and slightly curved temples designed for people with lower nose bridges, high cheekbones, and wider faces. The frames sit more comfortably without resting on your cheeks or sliding down your nose.

Can I add prescription lenses to the Saint Laurent SL 1/F?

Yes, the SL 1/F is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and polarized prescription lenses. The 58mm lens width and 49mm lens height provide adequate space for most prescriptions, including progressives. Many optical retailers offer custom prescription lens installation for these frames.

How do I know if I need Asian fit or low bridge fit sunglasses?

Look in a mirror and find the top of your nose bridge with your finger. If it sits in-line with or below your pupils, you likely have a low nose bridge and would benefit from Asian fit frames. Other signs include standard glasses sliding down your nose, resting on your cheeks, or leaving marks on the sides of your nose.

What is the frame size of the Saint Laurent SL 1/F?

The SL 1/F measures 58mm lens width, 16mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (58-16-145), with a 49mm lens height. This is considered a large, oversized fit that provides generous coverage. The measurements are printed inside the temple arm for reference.

Do the Saint Laurent SL 1/F sunglasses offer UV protection?

Yes, the SL 1/F provides 100% UVA and UVB protection (UV400), effectively shielding your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. The grey lenses also reduce glare and enhance visual clarity in bright conditions while maintaining true color perception.

What's the difference between the SL 1 and SL 1/F?

The SL 1/F is the Asian fit version of the standard SL 1, featuring a lower bridge position, modified nose pad configuration, and slightly different temple curvature. Both share the same iconic oversized square design and acetate construction, but the /F model is specifically engineered for lower nose bridges and high cheekbones.

Saint Laurent SL 1/F vs. SL 1: Which Fit Is Right for You?

Both models share the same bold, oversized square design that's made the SL 1 a modern classic. The difference comes down to fit engineering, not style.

Choose the SL 1/F (Asian Fit) if: You have a lower nose bridge, high cheekbones, or a wider face. Standard sunglasses tend to slide down your nose, rest on your cheeks, or leave pressure marks on the sides of your nose. The SL 1/F's lower bridge position and modified temple curvature solve these problems—the frames sit where they should and stay comfortable all day.

Choose the standard SL 1 if: You have a higher, more prominent nose bridge and standard frames typically fit you well. The SL 1 uses a traditional bridge height and nose pad configuration that works for most European and Western facial structures.

The SL 1/F costs slightly more ($318 vs. $253-$304) because of the specialized fit engineering, but if you've struggled with standard sunglasses, the comfort difference is worth it. Both versions are prescription-ready, offer 100% UV protection, and come with Saint Laurent's signature acetate quality. The real question isn't which is better—it's which fits your face.
