While both are current-season models, the SL 574's distinctive wirecore construction and square architectural shape create a bolder statement. The SL 699 may appeal to those seeking a different frame shape, but the SL 574's visible metal reinforcement and transparent temple accents offer a more distinctive look that's immediately recognizable as contemporary Saint Laurent.
SL 574 vs. SL 665 OPT
At $274.12, the SL 665 OPT is priced similarly to the SL 574. The choice comes down to frame shape preference and design details. The SL 574's square shape with wirecore temples suits those who want a masculine, architectural aesthetic with visible craftsmanship. The recycled acetate construction also gives the SL 574 an edge in sustainability.
