The Prada 22ZS sunglasses bring Italian luxury to a modern square silhouette designed for women who appreciate refined style and optical precision. Part of Prada's Heritage collection, these full-rim acetate frames measure 53-17-145mm and feature the brand's signature metal triangle accents at the temple tips—a subtle nod to Prada's iconic design language.
Design & Construction
The frame is constructed from premium cellulose acetate, a lightweight yet durable material that holds its shape and color over time. The square shape flatters round and oval face shapes by adding definition, while the 53mm lens width provides generous coverage without overwhelming smaller features. Available in nine sophisticated variants—from classic black with gradient lenses to rich tortoise patterns with polarized options—the 22ZS adapts to different styles and lighting needs.
The gradient lenses transition smoothly from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, reducing overhead glare while maintaining visibility. Polarized variants cut reflected glare from water, snow, and pavement, making them practical for driving and outdoor activities. All lenses offer full UV protection.
Prescription-Ready Frames
These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds prescription lenses of varying thicknesses, and the 17mm bridge width with integrated nose pads ensures a stable, comfortable fit for extended wear.
Fit & Comfort
The 145mm temples are designed with slightly wider tips for stability behind the ears, preventing slippage during movement. The medium fit suits most face widths, and the acetate material warms slightly to body temperature for a personalized feel. The 47mm lens height provides ample vertical coverage for sun protection.
Prada has been synonymous with cutting-edge Italian fashion since 1913, blending artisan tradition with contemporary design. The 22ZS reflects this heritage—clean geometric lines, quality materials, and attention to detail that goes beyond trends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get prescription lenses in the Prada 22ZS sunglasses?
Yes, the Prada 22ZS frames are prescription-ready and can accommodate single-vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. The full-rim acetate construction securely holds prescription lenses, and thicker acetate frames can help conceal the edge profile of higher-prescription lenses for a cleaner appearance.
What face shapes work best with the Prada 22ZS square frames?
Square frames like the Prada 22ZS are ideal for round and oval face shapes, as the angular lines add definition and balance to softer facial features. The 53mm lens width and square geometry create structure without being overly bold, making them versatile for most face shapes.
How do I properly clean and care for Prada acetate sunglasses?
Clean your Prada 22ZS with the included microfiber cloth after rinsing with lukewarm water. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, tissues, or rough cloths that can scratch lens coatings. Store them in the original Prada case when not in use, and avoid leaving them in high-heat environments like cars, which can warp the acetate frame.
What is the difference between gradient and polarized lenses on the Prada 22ZS?
Gradient lenses transition from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom, reducing overhead glare while maintaining visibility for reading or using devices. Polarized lenses eliminate reflected glare from surfaces like water and pavement, enhancing contrast and reducing eye strain—ideal for driving and outdoor activities. Both options provide 100% UV protection.
What are the measurements of the Prada 22ZS sunglasses?
The Prada 22ZS measures 53mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length, with a 47mm lens height. This medium-sized frame fits most face widths comfortably and provides generous coverage for sun protection.
Are Prada 22ZS sunglasses authentic, and what comes with them?
Authentic Prada 22ZS sunglasses come with original Prada packaging, a branded protective case, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and product documentation. All frames feature the signature Prada metal triangle logo on the temples and model information engraved on the inside of the temple arms.

Prada 22ZS vs. Similar Designer Square Sunglasses
If you're considering the Prada 22ZS, you may also be weighing other designer square acetate frames. Here's how the 22ZS compares to similar options in our collection.
Prada 22ZS vs. Prada 24ZS
Both models are part of Prada's Heritage collection and share the same Italian acetate construction and signature triangle temple accents. The key difference lies in styling details and measurements. The 24ZS offers an alternative square design that may appeal if you're looking for a slightly different aesthetic within the same Prada family. However, the 24ZS comes at a slightly higher price point ($283.50–$430 vs. $263.90–$427 for the 22ZS). If you've found the 22ZS proportions and style to be your preference, there's little reason to pay more for the 24ZS unless specific color options draw you in.
Prada 22ZS vs. Versace 4396
The Versace 4396 presents an interesting alternative for shoppers seeking Italian luxury square frames at a more accessible price ($138.51–$196.80). Both frames use premium acetate construction and offer prescription compatibility, but the brand aesthetics differ significantly. Versace leans into bold, ornate detailing with prominent Medusa logos, while Prada favors understated elegance with minimal branding—just the signature triangle accent. If you value subtle luxury and clean lines, the Prada 22ZS is worth the premium. If you prefer statement-making hardware and want to save, the Versace 4396 delivers quality at a lower investment.
Why Choose the Prada 22ZS?
The Prada 22ZS hits a sweet spot: it's more accessible than higher-tier Prada models while maintaining the brand's reputation for refined Italian design. The prescription-ready construction, multiple lens options (gradient and polarized), and versatile square shape make it a practical choice for everyday wear. The medium fit and 53mm lens width suit a wide range of face shapes, and the acetate construction ensures durability and comfort. For customers who appreciate understated luxury and want a frame that works as well with prescriptions as it does with sun lenses, the 22ZS is a smart investment.
