Emporio Armani 2162 vs. 2059 vs. 2033: Which Metal Sunglasses Are Right for You?
All three models come from Emporio Armani's metal sunglasses collection, but each offers a distinct take on aviator-inspired design. Here's how they compare:
EA2162: Modern Square-Aviator Hybrid
The EA2162 is the most contemporary of the three, featuring a bold square lens shape with a double-bridge design and full stainless steel construction. The 54-21-145 sizing fits medium to larger faces, and the structured angles make it ideal for round or oval face shapes seeking definition. The acetate rim detail around the lenses adds a unique design element not found in the other models. At $125, it sits in the middle of the price range and offers the most modern aesthetic.
EA2059: Classic Aviator
If you prefer traditional aviator styling, the EA2059 delivers a timeless teardrop shape with thin metal construction. The larger 61-14-140 sizing provides maximum coverage and suits bigger faces. It's available with polarized lens options and features a lightweight profile. However, the classic design may feel less distinctive than the EA2162's square geometry, and the price range ($123.62–$155.62) runs higher depending on lens options.
EA2033: Pilot with Mixed Materials
The EA2033 combines metal rims with rubber-coated plastic temples for a sporty, ergonomic feel. The 64-15-130 sizing is the largest of the three, making it best for those who want maximum lens coverage. The rectangular-pilot shape and double-bridge design offer a retro vibe, and the price ($118.16–$134.81) is the most accessible. However, the mixed-material construction and larger sizing may not suit everyone.
Our recommendation: Choose the EA2162 if you want a modern, versatile square frame with Italian craftsmanship and a distinctive double-bridge design. It's the best all-around option for medium to larger faces seeking contemporary style with prescription-ready flexibility.
