Dolce & Gabbana DG2279 vs. Similar Luxury Square Sunglasses
If you're drawn to the DG2279's square metal aesthetic, you might also consider the Dolce & Gabbana DG2242, a closely related model in the same family. The DG2242 features a slightly smaller 57mm lens width versus the DG2279's 60mm, making it better suited for more petite faces. Both share the full-rim metal construction and Italian craftsmanship, but the DG2242 showcases textured ribbon embellishments at the bridge corners rather than the DG2279's lens-perimeter detailing. At $216.91, the DG2242 also comes in at a lower price point, though the DG2279's larger lens coverage and bolder presence justify the difference for those seeking maximum impact.
For shoppers comparing across Italian luxury brands, the Versace 2227 offers a similar square metal silhouette starting at $159.11—a more accessible entry point into designer eyewear. The Versace features the iconic Medusa logo and shares the same premium metal construction, but the design language differs: Versace leans into bold Greek motifs while Dolce & Gabbana channels Sicilian baroque sensuality. If the D&G Mediterranean aesthetic and specific textured detailing speak to you, the DG2279 is worth the investment.
The DG2279 stands out for its generous 60mm lens coverage, distinctive ribbon texture, and gradient lens options that balance style with sun protection. It's the choice for women who want a statement square frame with Italian luxury pedigree and prescription-ready versatility.
