Tommy Hilfiger TH1718 vs. Similar Rectangle Frames
If you're considering the TH1718, you're likely comparing it to other rectangle frames in Tommy Hilfiger's men's collection. Here's how it stacks up against three popular alternatives in our catalog.
TH1718 vs. TH1557: The Texture Difference
The TH1557 ($65.95–$77.54) is the closest sibling to the TH1718 in terms of shape, size, and price. Both are prescription-ready rectangle frames with full-rim plastic construction. The key difference? The TH1718's signature polo piquet texture on the temples and tri-layer color design give it more visual interest and a sportier vibe. If you want a frame that stands out with tactile details, the TH1718 wins. If you prefer a cleaner, more understated look, the TH1557 might be your pick.
TH1718 vs. TH1556: More Colors, Higher Price
The TH1556 ($72.60–$86.03) offers more color variety—6 options versus the TH1718's 3—and sits at a slightly higher price point. Both are rectangle frames ideal for oval and round faces, and both are prescription-ready. The TH1556 may appeal if you want more color choices or are willing to pay a bit more for potential premium features. But if you're drawn to the polo piquet texture and tri-layer temple design, the TH1718 offers unique style elements the TH1556 doesn't have, at a lower starting price.
TH1718 vs. TH1605: Budget-Friendly Alternative
The TH1605 ($59.11–$77.54) is the most affordable option in this comparison. It's a solid choice if you want authentic Tommy Hilfiger rectangle sunglasses without the premium design details. You'll save a few dollars, but you'll miss out on the polo piquet texture and tri-layer temples that make the TH1718 distinctive. For most buyers, the TH1718's extra design features are worth the small price difference—it's the frame that feels most connected to Tommy Hilfiger's preppy heritage.
Our take: The TH1718 hits the sweet spot—it's priced competitively, offers the brand's most recognizable design elements (polo texture, tri-layer temples, flag logo), and delivers the prescription-ready functionality you need. Unless you need more color options (TH1556) or are on a tight budget (TH1605), the TH1718 is the standout choice in this lineup.
