Choosing sunglasses eyewear can come down to a few meaningful tradeoffs: a stated women's or unisex department, a new or pre-owned condition, specific size labels, and a frame direction that suits your wardrobe. This group offers three Tom Ford options and one square Philipp Plein pair, so the clearest route is to decide which of those priorities should lead.
Quick take
Condition creates the first divide. The Tom Ford Odette is described as pre-owned - excellent, while the Tom Ford TF1225 and FT0836 are new with tags. The Philipp Plein square pair is new without tags. In listed-price order, the Odette comes first, followed closely by TF1225 and FT0836, with the Philipp Plein pair at the top end. Use the style cues and size labels below to separate the choices once condition has narrowed the field.

Product notes
Tom Ford Odette Sunglasses TF1189 01E Black 53mm FT1189
At the lowest listed price, the Tom Ford Odette is a natural starting point for a shopper prioritizing the lower end of this comparison. Its solid black frame gives it a straightforward dark look, and the FT1189 identifier distinguishes it from the other Tom Ford entries. Choose the Odette when a simple black-frame direction matters and price position is a leading consideration. Its important limitation is the pre-owned - excellent condition. That creates a different choice from the two Tom Ford pairs described as new with tags and the Philipp Plein pair described as new without tags.
Tom Ford TF1225 Sunglasses 59-16-145 Unisex Luxury Designer Eyewear
The Tom Ford TF1225 suits shoppers seeking a new-with-tags, unisex entry. Its TF1225 model name provides a clear point of recognition, and it sits immediately after the Odette in listed-price order. Pick this pair when the stated new condition and unisex department are central to the decision. The limitation is its frame-color wording: it is recorded as AS PICTURE SHOW rather than as a named color. That gives the TF1225 a less explicit color direction than the selections specifically described with black frames.
Tom Ford FT0836 Sunglasses 61-10-140 Unisex Luxury Designer Eyewear
The Tom Ford FT0836 is another new-with-tags, unisex route, positioned one dollar above the TF1225 in listed price. Choose it when its model label and unisex designation fit your preference, rather than simply selecting the lower of the two closely priced new Tom Ford pairs. Its limitation is that one-dollar placement: shoppers deciding strictly between the two prices may lean toward the TF1225. The FT0836 is specifically described with a black frame, giving it a direct named-color cue for someone who wants that darker frame direction.
Philipp Plein Square Black Sunglasses Silver Logo Luxury Designer Eyewear UV400
The Philipp Plein pair is the non-Tom Ford choice in this group, with a silver-logo accent and Italian country-of-origin detail in its description. Choose it when those design details are central to your sunglasses eyewear decision. Its limitation is its position at the highest listed price, which places it distinctly above the three Tom Ford options. The black frame keeps the color direction dark, while the key appeal is the square Philipp Plein styling rather than a close match to the other listed price points.
Final recommendation by use case
- Choose the Tom Ford Odette TF1189 for the women's designation and 53mm size cue.
- Choose the Tom Ford TF1225 for the 59-16-145 size label.
- Choose the Tom Ford FT0836 for a black frame paired with the 61-10-140 size label.
- Choose the Philipp Plein Square Black Sunglasses when a square acetate frame is the priority.
