The Prada 27ZS sunglasses belong to the brand's celebrated Symbole collection, where Italian luxury meets bold architectural design. These full-rim acetate frames feature an irregular rectangular shape that breaks from conventional eyewear silhouettes, with angular lines and a sculptural front that commands attention.
Symbole Design: Faceted Temples and Iconic Branding
What sets the 27ZS apart are the faceted temples—thick, geometric arms with three-dimensional workmanship that showcase the Prada lettering logo in raised detail. This signature design element transforms the temples into wearable sculpture, visible from every angle. The chunky acetate construction delivers both structural integrity and a refined surface finish that feels substantial in hand. At 54mm lens width with a 21mm bridge and 145mm temples, the 27ZS offers a medium fit suited to most face shapes, with the full-rim design providing complete lens security and a finished, polished look.
Available in eight distinct color combinations—from classic black frames with dark grey or yellow lenses to tortoise patterns and gradient options—the 27ZS adapts to different style preferences while maintaining its unmistakable Symbole identity. The lenses provide 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays, though these frames are not polarized and cannot accommodate prescription lenses.
Prada's Symbole Legacy
Since its founding in 1913, Prada has built a reputation for pushing fashion boundaries while honoring Italian craftsmanship. The Symbole collection represents a modern interpretation of the house's iconic triangle logo, translated into eyewear through geometric forms and dimensional detailing. These sunglasses are designed for those who view eyewear as an intentional style statement—a fashion accessory first, functional piece second. The 27ZS works equally well for men and women who appreciate avant-garde design and aren't afraid to make a visual impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Prada 27ZS sunglasses prescription-ready?
No, the Prada 27ZS frames are not prescription-capable. These sunglasses come with non-removable lenses and cannot be fitted with prescription lenses. If you need prescription eyewear, consider exploring Prada's optical frame collection which is designed to accommodate custom lenses.
What are the measurements of the Prada 27ZS?
The Prada 27ZS measures 54mm lens width, 21mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (54-21-145). The lens height is approximately 34mm. This medium size fits most face shapes comfortably, with the 21mm bridge providing a secure fit across different nose profiles.
What is the Prada Symbole collection?
The Prada Symbole collection features sunglasses with bold geometric designs and distinctive faceted temples decorated with the Prada lettering logo. The collection represents a modern interpretation of Prada's iconic triangle logo, translated into three-dimensional eyewear with thick acetate construction and architectural lines. The Symbole series has become one of Prada's most recognizable contemporary eyewear designs.
Do the Prada 27ZS sunglasses have UV protection?
Yes, the Prada 27ZS sunglasses provide 100% UV protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. However, these lenses are not polarized, so they won't reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water or pavement as effectively as polarized lenses would.
What material are the Prada 27ZS frames made from?
The Prada 27ZS frames are constructed from high-quality acetate, a premium plastic material derived from plant-based sources. Acetate offers excellent durability, rich color depth, and a refined surface finish. The thick acetate construction in the Symbole collection provides both structural rigidity and a substantial, luxury feel.
Are the Prada 27ZS sunglasses unisex?
Yes, the Prada 27ZS sunglasses are designed as a unisex style suitable for both men and women. The irregular rectangular shape and medium 54mm lens width work well across different face shapes and sizes, while the bold geometric design appeals to anyone seeking a contemporary, fashion-forward look.

Prada 27ZS vs Prada 17WS Symbole: Which Symbole Style Is Right for You?
Both the Prada 27ZS and 17WS belong to the brand's acclaimed Symbole collection, sharing the signature faceted temples with three-dimensional Prada lettering that defines this modern eyewear family. The choice between them comes down to size preference, frame proportions, and subtle design differences.
The 27ZS features a 54mm lens width with an irregular rectangular shape that balances bold geometry with everyday wearability. Its medium proportions suit a wide range of face shapes, and the angular cuts create visual interest without overwhelming your features. The 17WS, meanwhile, typically comes in a 49mm width with chunkier overall proportions and bolder rims—it's the more dramatic option if you want maximum fashion impact.
From a practical standpoint, the 27ZS offers better value, with pricing starting around $361 compared to the 17WS's $433 entry point. Both provide 100% UV protection and showcase Prada's exceptional Italian acetate craftsmanship, but neither accommodates prescription lenses. If you prefer a slightly larger lens for more coverage and don't mind the higher price, the 17WS delivers. If you want a versatile, statement-making frame that works across more occasions, the 27ZS is the smarter pick—it's the Symbole design that adapts to you, rather than demanding you adapt to it.
