DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses bring a fresh, refined perspective to the MICA cat-eye shape. Part of the Fall-Winter 2024 collection, this model reimagines the classic MICA silhouette with a completely new thin acetate construction that feels lighter and more contemporary while maintaining the architectural lines of the original design.

Modern Cat-Eye Design in Premium Acetate

The angular cat-eye frame showcases Saint Laurent's signature Parisian edge—bold enough to make a statement, but refined enough for everyday wear. The clear beige acetate frame in the 004 colorway (shown) offers a translucent, modern aesthetic that pairs beautifully with the silver mirror lenses, while the full-rim construction provides durability and a polished finish. At 54mm lens width with a 16mm bridge and 145mm temples, these sunglasses offer balanced proportions that work particularly well on round, oval, and heart-shaped faces without overpowering your features.

Acetate is a plant-based material derived from cellulose that offers several advantages over standard plastic: it's hypoallergenic, more durable, and biodegradable. The material's natural flexibility allows for a comfortable fit that can be adjusted by an optician, and the color runs through the entire frame rather than just the surface, ensuring the finish stays pristine over years of wear. The thinner profile of the SL 737 reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity—you get all-day comfort without sacrificing quality.

Lens Technology and UV Protection

The SL 737 MICA THIN features silver mirror-coated lenses that provide 100% UV protection (UV400), blocking both UVA and UVB rays. The mirror coating reduces glare and adds visual depth to the frame design. These lenses are not polarized.

Prescription-Ready Luxury

These sunglasses are prescription-ready, making them an excellent choice if you need corrective lenses but don't want to compromise on style. The full-rim acetate frame provides a stable base for prescription lenses, and the single-bridge design ensures optical clarity across your field of vision. You can wear them as-is or swap in prescription lenses to suit your vision needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim acetate frame construction provides a stable base for prescription lenses, including single-vision, progressive, and polarized options. Licensed opticians can fit these frames with custom prescription lenses while maintaining the original style and UV protection.

What face shapes work best with the SL 737 MICA THIN cat-eye frame?

The angular cat-eye shape of the SL 737 MICA THIN is particularly flattering on round, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The geometric contours and upswept corners add definition to softer facial features, while the 54mm lens width provides balanced coverage without overwhelming smaller faces. The frames also complement square or angular faces by softening prominent cheekbones and jawlines.

What is the difference between acetate and regular plastic frames?

Acetate is a plant-based material derived from cellulose that offers superior durability, flexibility, and comfort compared to petroleum-based plastic. Acetate frames are hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and feature color that runs through the entire material rather than just the surface. They're also more adjustable by opticians and maintain their appearance over years of wear, making them a premium choice for long-term use.

How does the SL 737 MICA THIN differ from the original SL 276 MICA?

The SL 737 MICA THIN features a completely redesigned thinner and more refined acetate construction compared to the original SL 276 MICA. The newer model has a slightly larger 54mm lens width (versus 53mm) and a more contemporary, lightweight profile while maintaining the iconic cat-eye shape that made the MICA line a best-seller. Both are prescription-ready with full-rim acetate frames.

Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses provide 100% UV protection, blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays. The tinted lenses reduce glare and are designed for all-day wear in bright environments. If you add prescription lenses, UV protection is maintained through the custom lens options available.

What comes included with the Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses?

Your Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN sunglasses come with authentic Saint Laurent packaging, including a protective case and cleaning cloth. All frames are 100% authentic, made in Italy, and feature the Saint Laurent logo engraved on the temples. The frames measure 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge, and 145mm temple length.

Saint Laurent SL 737 MICA THIN vs. Other Saint Laurent Cat-Eye Styles

If you're drawn to Saint Laurent's cat-eye sunglasses, you're likely weighing a few options. The SL 737 MICA THIN sits in a sweet spot between classic elegance and contemporary refinement, but how does it compare to other models in our collection?

SL 737 MICA THIN vs. SL 318 Classic

The Saint Laurent Classic SL 318 offers a more traditional cat-eye at a slightly lower price ($186.78–$233.18). If budget is your primary concern, the SL 318 delivers authentic Saint Laurent style with prescription-ready construction. However, the SL 737 MICA THIN represents the brand's latest design evolution—the thinner acetate construction feels noticeably lighter and more modern, and the refined proportions work better on a wider range of face shapes. The MICA THIN's 54mm lens width also provides slightly more coverage than many classic styles, making it ideal if you want sun protection without oversized frames.

SL 737 MICA THIN vs. SL 214 KATE

The Saint Laurent New Wave SL 214 KATE ($308.75–$318.47) takes a bolder approach with sharper, more dramatic angles. The KATE is a celebrity favorite and makes an unmistakable statement, but that aggressive styling can feel less versatile for everyday wear. The MICA THIN offers a softer, more approachable cat-eye that transitions seamlessly from casual to polished looks. If you want sunglasses that work as well at brunch as they do at a gallery opening, the MICA THIN's balanced proportions and refined acetate construction make it the more practical choice. The KATE is for those who want maximum drama; the MICA THIN is for those who want enduring style.

Why Choose the SL 737 MICA THIN?

The SL 737 MICA THIN represents Saint Laurent's commitment to evolving its iconic designs. You're getting the best-selling MICA silhouette—proven to flatter a wide range of faces—reimagined with a thinner, lighter acetate construction that feels contemporary without chasing trends. At $235.51–$239.19, it's competitively priced within the Saint Laurent range, and the prescription-ready frame means you're not sacrificing function for fashion. If you value refined design, all-day comfort, and a cat-eye that feels fresh rather than retro, the MICA THIN is your frame.
