Compared within this brand.
| Oversized Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want an oversized, editorial take on the aviator, described by the retailer as having generous, energized curves, in a thick glossy tortoiseshell acetate frame with solid dark gray polycarbonate lenses and 100% UV protection. It suits shoppers drawn to statement details like a single-piece keyhole-style bridge, gold rivet accents, and Japanese craftsmanship, with a soft case, cleaning cloth, and signature storage box included. Note it comes only in a brown, one-size variant, so confirm the 57 mm eye width, 22 mm bridge, and 145 mm temple length fit you before ordering.[1,2] | Double Frame Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a design-forward take on the classic aviator: this Dries Van Noten style layers an outer gold metal frame over a darker Italian acetate inner surround, with a dual-bridge, tinted (blue-tinted in the photographed colourway) lenses, and slim metal temples with patterned acetate tips, and it is made in Japan. It comes in one size (48 mm eye width, 19 mm bridge, 145 mm temples) in Black or Patterned Yellow, so it suits shoppers who fit those measurements and want a statement silhouette rather than a minimalist frame.[3,4] | Geometric Round Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a statement take on round sunglasses: the retailer describes an eccentric, imposing frame that plays with shades and proportions, built in glossy black Italian acetate with thick round front rims flowing into wider rectangular temple sections. The tinted lenses come with acetate nose pads and curved temple tips for comfort, and the frame is made in Japan. It comes in one size, with a 42 mm eye width, 31 mm bridge, and 145 mm temples, so check those measurements against your fit.[5,6,7,8] |
