Polo 2218 vs. Similar Polo Eyeglasses
If you're considering the Polo 2218, you might also be looking at other acetate frames in Polo's men's collection. Here's how the 2218 stacks up against three comparable models in our catalog.
Polo 2218 vs. Polo 2212
The Polo 2212 ($81.55–$102.28) sits in nearly the same price range as the 2218 ($92.87–$102.98). Both are full-rim acetate frames designed for men, and both deliver the preppy aesthetic Polo is known for. The 2212 has a slightly lower entry price, which might appeal if you're budget-conscious. However, the 2218's pillow shape offers more versatility across face shapes—its soft rectangular silhouette works well for round, oval, and square faces, while the 2212 may lean toward a different frame geometry. If you value a universally flattering shape and don't mind spending a few extra dollars, the 2218 is the stronger choice.
Polo 2218 vs. Polo 2117
The Polo 2117 ($97.44–$118.82) is another acetate option, but it comes with a higher top-end price. Both frames share the same quality construction and lightweight comfort, but the 2117 may feature a different shape or bridge design. The 2218's pillow shape is a middle ground between round and rectangular, making it ideal if you want something distinctive but not too bold. The 2117 might suit you better if you prefer a more traditional rectangular or different silhouette, but expect to pay a bit more for certain configurations.
Polo 2218 vs. Polo 2155
The Polo 2155 ($80.82–$128.01) offers the widest price range in this comparison. It starts cheaper than the 2218, but can climb higher depending on lens upgrades. The 2155 is a solid choice if you're looking for the absolute lowest entry price in Polo's acetate lineup. However, the 2218's tighter price range and pillow shape make it a more predictable purchase—you know what you're getting in terms of style and cost. If you're drawn to the pillow silhouette and want a frame that's easy to pair with different looks, the 2218 is the safer bet.
Why Choose the Polo 2218?
The Polo 2218 hits a sweet spot: it's priced competitively (starting under $93), offers a versatile pillow shape that flatters multiple face types, and comes in four wearable colors. It's an excellent choice for anyone who wants a quality acetate frame with a contemporary edge, without paying a premium or settling for a generic rectangle. For everyday prescription eyewear that works from the office to the weekend, the 2218 delivers.
