The devil may wear Prada, but you certainly don't have to be the prince of darkness to enjoy all the gorgeous Prada sunglasses available. We have a huge selection of men's and women's styles from Prada, from demure to cutting edge. Looking at all the amazing styles on offer here may not tip you off to the fact that Prada is almost 100 years old and has been run by the same family for its entire history. It's the definition of "old world" Italian luxury.
The label started in 1913 as a maker of luxury objects. Today it is run by the granddaughter of one of the original owners, Mario Prada. Miuccia Prada started working at the label in 1970 and inherited the company in 1978, where she is still in charge. She's the one responsible for that black nylon backpack that was nuclear-hot in the 1990s and is a favorite designer of highly compensated career women due to the stylish, but never boring styles Prada makes for women's ready-to-wear.
Prada has never been a label about flaunting logos. The logo is a simple silver and black triangle with a small banner and shield with the words PRADA and MILANO. Prada is happy to let the goods speak for themselves. And speak for themselves they do, with sunglasses to fit absolutely every taste.
One fabulous women's style for those who like the oversized sunglasses is the SPR 03MS ZYZ5I1. It has beautiful tortoise-azure frames and blue-gray gradient lenses. You almost couldn't help but look good in these. If you have a more sporty style, then the SPS 02LS ZVI3M1 in the matte red frame with gray gradient lenses is a great choice, with its single lens design and stand-out color. For ultra feminine style, try the SPR 27LS 1AB5Z1, with glossy black frames and gray polarized lenses. They look like the kind of sunglasses that Kim Novak would wear in an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
For the guys, Prada offers a squared off aviator, the SPR 59L 8AE-6S1 in a black metal frame with gray lenses that's flattering to a lot of men's faces. The SPR 22L 1AB-3M1 is like a simplified Wayfarer. They look like the sunglasses version of the regular glasses that Yves St. Laurent used to wear. Very masculine and straightforward, and perfect in black frames with gray lenses. And if you're in the market for sporty wraparound shades with Italian style, look no further than the SPS 04H 70V-3M1. It has black frames, gray gradient lenses, and a small, red Prada logo on the side piece.
Miuccia Prada is happy to remain mostly out of the public eye and speak with her designs and her contributions to the world of art, where she is known to employ the services of cutting edge architects and designers for her stores. Prada sunglasses, like everything else the label makes, are exquisite specimens of design made to the very highest standards.
