Versace 2251 vs. Similar Men's Metal Sunglasses
If you're deciding between the Versace 2251 and other metal frames in the collection, here's what sets each apart.
Versace 2251 vs. Versace 2163
The Versace 2163 offers a classic double-bridge aviator-rectangular hybrid with adjustable nose pads and a more traditional aesthetic. It's a solid choice if you prefer understated elegance and a universally flattering rectangular lens shape. However, the 2251 stands out with its distinctive pillow shape and prominent Medusa medallion on the bridge — a bolder statement that's immediately recognizable as Versace. The 2251's single-bridge design also feels cleaner and more modern, while the open-work temple detail adds architectural interest you won't find on the 2163.
Versace 2251 vs. Versace 2174
The Versace 2174 brings a square, geometric shape with a double-bridge design that's more angular and contemporary. Customer reviews praise the 2174 for its timeless style and versatility, making it a great option if you want a sharper, more structured look. But if you're after something that balances boldness with wearability, the 2251's pillow shape offers softer curves that suit a wider range of face shapes, especially rounder or oval faces. The 2251 also features more prominent Medusa branding on both the bridge and temples, making it the stronger choice for those who want unmistakable Versace luxury.
Our take: Choose the Versace 2251 if you want a distinctive pillow-navigator shape with bold Medusa hardware that makes a statement without being overly aggressive. It's the best option for medium-to-large faces seeking a modern, luxury frame that's prescription-ready and versatile enough for daily wear.
