Chesterfield Chesterf51 vs Similar Models
If you're considering the Chesterfield Chesterf51, you might also be looking at other models in the Chesterfield acetate rectangle lineup. Here's how they compare:
Chesterf51 vs Chesterfield 54XL
The biggest difference is price. The 54XL starts at just $38, making it one of the most affordable options in the Chesterfield line, while the Chesterf51 is priced at $88.25. Both offer full-rim acetate construction and rectangle shapes, but the 54XL gives you more size flexibility with 55mm, 57mm, and 59mm lens width options (vs the Chesterf51's 56mm and 58mm). The 54XL comes in Blue Horn, Matte Black, and Matte Havana, while the Chesterf51 offers Black and Horn finishes with subtle metal temple accents that the 54XL lacks.
Choose the 54XL if you want to save money and need maximum sizing flexibility. Choose the Chesterf51 if you prefer the refined metal details and don't mind paying a bit more for that extra touch of sophistication.
Chesterf51 vs Chesterfield Chesterf28XL
These two are priced identically at $88.25, so your decision comes down to shape preference. The Chesterf51 is a rectangle, while the Chesterf28XL is a square frame with more prominent metal accents on the earpieces. The Chesterf28XL is available in semi-matte horn, black, and dark tortoise shell—giving you a tortoise option that the Chesterf51 doesn't offer.
Rectangle frames like the Chesterf51 tend to suit more face shapes (especially round and oval faces), while square frames can look bolder and more architectural. If you want a versatile, understated look, the Chesterf51 is the safer bet. If you want something with a bit more presence and don't mind the square aesthetic, the Chesterf28XL is worth considering.
Chesterf51 vs Chesterfield 58XL
The 58XL offers a similar price range ($37-$88.25 depending on options) and XL sizing philosophy, but with a different overall design. Both are full-rim acetate frames built for comfortable all-day wear, but the specific shape, temple styling, and color options differ between the two models.
The Chesterf51 is a solid choice if you want a clean rectangle with subtle metal accents at a mid-range price. It's versatile, comfortable, and built to last—exactly what you'd expect from a Safilo-manufactured frame with Chesterfield's heritage behind it.
