DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Saint Laurent Monogram SL M95/K Sunglasses bring Parisian luxury to a bold, feminine square frame designed specifically for Korean fit. Part of Saint Laurent's evolution of the Monogram acetate collection, these prescription-ready sunglasses feature a striking silhouette that balances statement-making style with refined comfort.

Korean Fit Design for Superior Comfort

The "K" designation indicates this frame is engineered with a Korean (Asian) fit—a lower bridge design that sits comfortably on faces with lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. Measuring 54-21-145mm, the SL M95/K offers a slightly smaller lens width and wider bridge (21mm) compared to standard fits, eliminating the sliding and pressure points that plague many wearers. The full-rim acetate construction is lightweight yet durable, built for years of daily wear.

Iconic YSL Signature Hinge Detail

What sets the Monogram collection apart is the mythic YSL logo integrated directly into the hinge mechanism on both temples. Rendered in polished gold-tone metal against the glossy black acetate, this detail isn't just branding—it's a visible mark of Saint Laurent's design heritage. The bold temples ensure the signature is unmistakable from every angle.

The grey lenses provide 100% UV protection and reduce glare without distorting color. Because these frames are prescription-ready, you can add your Rx through our licensed opticians—single vision, progressive, polarized, or Transitions lenses all fit this frame. The single-bridge design and generous 54mm lens width offer excellent coverage for medium to large faces.

Founded by Yves Saint Laurent in 1961, the house has always blurred the line between haute couture and everyday luxury. These sunglasses carry that DNA: unapologetically bold, meticulously constructed, and designed to be worn, not stored. If you need a frame that fits properly and makes a statement, the SL M95/K delivers both.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 'K' mean in Saint Laurent SL M95/K?

The 'K' indicates Korean fit (also called Asian fit), which features a lower bridge design and adjusted nose pads for faces with lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. This fit prevents the frames from sitting too close to your face or sliding down your nose. The SL M95/K measures 54-21-145mm with a 21mm bridge, compared to the standard 'F' fit which is 56-20-145mm.

Are Saint Laurent SL M95/K sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Saint Laurent Monogram SL M95/K sunglasses are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim acetate frame can accommodate single vision, progressive, polarized, and photochromic (Transitions) prescription lenses. Our licensed opticians can install your prescription lenses with various lens materials and coatings to suit your needs.

What is the frame material and size of the SL M95/K?

The SL M95/K is crafted from premium acetate in a full-rim construction. The frame measures 54mm lens width, 21mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length (54-21-145). The acetate material is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic, designed for long-term wear and built to last for years.

Do these sunglasses have UV protection?

Yes, the Saint Laurent SL M95/K sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection. The grey lenses are Category 3, which means they block 82-92% of sunlight and are ideal for bright conditions including beach, mountain, and urban environments. They also meet safety standards for driving.

What makes the YSL Monogram hinge detail special?

The mythic YSL signature is integrated directly into the hinge mechanism as a functional design element, not just a logo. Made highly visible on both bold temples in polished gold-tone metal, this signature hinge detail is a hallmark of Saint Laurent's Monogram collection and represents the evolution of their acetate eyewear into a bolder, more iconic version.

How does the SL M95/K fit compare to other Saint Laurent models?

The SL M95/K features a square-butterfly shape with Korean fit, making it ideal for those who need a lower bridge. It's slightly smaller than the M95/F (which measures 56mm) and has a wider 21mm bridge. The bold acetate construction and prominent YSL hinge details make it more statement-oriented than minimalist Saint Laurent styles like the SL 174 or SL 641.

Saint Laurent SL M95/K vs. Similar Styles

Choosing between Saint Laurent frames often comes down to fit and design philosophy. The SL M95/K is purpose-built for Korean/Asian fit with its lower bridge and 21mm bridge width, making it the clear choice if standard frames slide down your nose or sit too close to your face.

SL M95/K vs. SL M24/K

Both offer Korean fit and the signature YSL Monogram hinge detail, so the decision is primarily about shape preference. The M95/K delivers a bold square-butterfly silhouette that makes a stronger statement, while the M24/K offers a different shape at a slightly lower price ($278-$300 vs. $354.75). If you want maximum impact and coverage, the M95/K wins. If you prefer subtlety within the Monogram collection, consider the M24/K.

SL M95/K vs. Classic SL 174

The SL 174 is nearly half the price ($181) and offers a square acetate frame, but it's a fundamentally different product. You lose the Korean fit, the iconic YSL Monogram hinge detail, and the premium construction that defines the Monogram collection. The SL 174 is an excellent entry-level Saint Laurent frame, but if you need proper fit or want the unmistakable Monogram signature, the M95/K justifies the investment.

SL M95/K vs. Monogram SL M3

The SL M3 ($302) sits in the same Monogram collection with the YSL hinge detail, but it's designed for standard fit, not Korean fit. If bridge fit isn't a concern, the M3 offers a vintage-inspired alternative at a similar price. However, if you've struggled with frames sliding or pinching, the M95/K's engineered fit is worth the extra $52.

Bottom line: The SL M95/K is the best choice for anyone who needs Korean/Asian fit and wants a bold, statement-making frame with Saint Laurent's signature Monogram hinge detail. It's a specialized product that solves a real fit problem while delivering unmistakable luxury.
