Tom Ford Giulio 0698 vs. Similar Square Acetate Sunglasses
Giulio 0698 vs. Dax 0751
Both the Giulio and the Dax are square acetate frames built for men who want a bold, contemporary look. The Dax 0751 leans slightly larger and more statement-making, with a chunkier frame profile that commands attention. If you prefer maximum coverage and a more pronounced square silhouette, the Dax delivers. However, the Giulio offers a more versatile, everyday fit at a lower starting price ($184 vs $289), plus the added appeal of celebrity sightings on Jake Gyllenhaal. For most buyers, the Giulio strikes a better balance between presence and wearability.
Giulio 0698 vs. Eric-02 0595
The Eric-02 0595 sits in the same price bracket as the Giulio and shares the square acetate DNA, but it's a less prominent model in the Tom Ford lineup. Both are prescription-ready and offer similar construction quality, but the Giulio has broader color availability and stronger brand recognition. Unless you find a specific Eric-02 colorway that speaks to you, the Giulio is the safer choice for resale value and style longevity.
Giulio 0698 vs. Snowdon 0237
This is where the decision gets interesting. The Snowdon is Tom Ford's most famous frame—worn by Daniel Craig in Spectre—and it carries that James Bond cachet. The shape is rounder and more vintage-inspired, with a 50mm lens that suits smaller-to-medium faces. The Giulio, by contrast, is more modern and rectangular, with a 59mm lens that offers better coverage for larger faces. If you want heritage and a retro vibe, go Snowdon. If you want a contemporary square frame with celebrity appeal at a better price, the Giulio is your pick. Both are excellent; it comes down to whether you prefer classic or modern.
Our take: The Tom Ford Giulio 0698 offers the best value in this comparison—celebrity visibility, versatile square styling, prescription compatibility, and a price point that undercuts most comparable Tom Ford acetate frames. It's the frame to choose if you want a dependable, well-designed pair of sunglasses that won't feel dated in five years.
