Are the Saint Laurent Classic 8 sunglasses oversized?

Yes. They are an oversized square-frame design, so they cover more of the face than a standard pair. That suits medium to larger faces best.

What kind of lenses do they have?

They use gradient lenses, darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. That looks good in photos but is less suited to driving or very bright, flat light.

Are they good for driving?

Not especially. Gradient tint and an oversized plastic frame are fine for style and general glare, but a uniform polarized lens is better for driving.

Do they suit small faces?

Often not. The oversized square shape can look too wide on narrow or small faces. Try them on if you can.

Is the price worth it?

You are paying mostly for the Saint Laurent name and the bold design. The frame is plastic and the lenses are gradient, so the optics are ordinary for a luxury price.

Our take on the Saint Laurent Women's Classic 8 Sunglasses

The Saint Laurent Classic 8 is an oversized square-frame sunglass in plastic with gradient lenses. The bold silhouette and full-rim build make it a statement pair rather than a subtle one. It sits in the brand's fashion line, so most of the price reflects the name and design, not optical technology.
