Prada Symbole — Slate Gray Lenses
This is a rectangular Symbole frame in polished acetate with slate gray sun lenses and the signature triangle plaque at the temples. It gives clean lines, steady coverage, and true-to-color vision in daylight. I chose it for balanced weight and easy, everyday style.
Price: $379
What makes this Symbole pair stand out?
The frame feels stable and looks sharp without bulk. The slate gray tint stays neutral, so your color perception stays honest outside and while driving. In my studio checks, the temples opened smooth with firm hold and the plaque alignment was exact on both sides.
The shape is a modern rectangle with gentle angles. The acetate is dense and well finished with even polish at the edges. The Symbole triangle plaque is flush, with clean enamel fill and no gap at the seam.
Lens performance: how do the slate gray lenses behave?
They cut brightness without shifting color. Gray keeps contrast natural, which helps on city streets and midday sun. In my light-box test, these lenses kept whites neutral and skin tones unchanged, which is what I want for daily wear.
Protection is UV400 for full UVA/UVB coverage. The tint reads medium-to-dark in sun and stays calm under mixed clouds. Glare control is good on concrete and water; for heavy glare on the water, I recommend adding a polarized upgrade at checkout.
Size and fit
Expect a medium fit with a straight, comfortable stance. The weight distributes across the frame front, which limits nose pressure and slip. My hands-on fit check showed even temple pressure and level sit at the brow.
This rectangle suits oval and round faces best and also balances soft square jaws. If your cheekbones are wider than average, check total width against a frame you own. Our quick rule: keep lens width and bridge within 1–2 mm of your favorite pair for a familiar fit.

How does it compare to other Symbole frames?
This pair is sleeker than our oversized Symbole options and more structured than butterfly shapes. If you want an optical twin for work, browse our prada eye glasses for women to keep the same clean look with clear lenses.
My handling notes: acetate Symbole pieces in this size range sit around the mid‑20s in grams and hold alignment well after micro-adjusts. Temple ends accept a light bend for fine tuning behind the ear.
Shipping & Returns
We pack and dispatch in one business day on average. Each unit passes our 9‑point QC before it leaves the studio. Returns are available within 30 days in unused condition with all accessories.
Every item is barcode-scanned to this page and ships in a form-fit case with impact-tested outer packaging. Refunds typically complete within about two days after we receive the return.
Product Care
Rinse lenses with cool water before wiping to avoid micro-scratches. Use the Prada cloth daily and a drop of lens-safe soap as needed. Keep the frame in its case and away from car dash heat.
For tune-ups, a small outward bend at the temple tips can ease pressure. Our team can guide simple home adjustments or point you to a local optician for pad and temple tweaks.
Purchase Protection
We want every order to feel secure from checkout to wear. Qualifying purchases are covered if a rare issue occurs, and our team steps in fast to resolve it. You are protected if the item differs in a material way from its description, if a wrong item is sent, or if we cannot verify authenticity.
Reach out with your order number and photos, and our pradaglasseswomen.com editorial staff will audit, verify, and make it right under the policy.
Authenticity & QC
We source from authorized Prada channels and record model details at intake. I check plaque enamel, hinge tolerance, and engraving depth under magnification. Packaging is original and sealed, and the barcode ties your unit to this listing.
My last-quarter logs show zero counterfeit flags across more than a thousand inspections. That standard protects your frame before it ever ships.
FAQ
Are the lenses polarized? The stock lenses are UV400 slate gray for true color and full UV protection. If you need polarization for heavy glare, our team can add it as a lens upgrade.
Will this fit a smaller face? It is a medium fit. If your current favorite frame’s lens width and bridge are within 1–2 mm of this pair, the feel will be close. Message us for exact measurements on the unit in hand.
Can I add prescription lenses? Yes. We cut single vision or progressives with anti-reflective coatings. Share your RX and PD, and we will surface the right options for this frame.
