DKNY Sunglasses
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Donna Karan’s DKNY sunglasses are a mainstay of any fashionable wardrobe.
DKNY Sunglasses Have Style
DKNY sunglasses are an offshoot of Donna Karan’s original company. Founded in 1984 with husband Stephan Weiss, DKNY is the gold standard in sleek, classic, and urban clothing. Their sunglasses are no different.
The label, in fact, grew to be so popular that demand increased for other avenues of merchandise. Born from this demand are DKNY Jeans, DKNY Active, and DKNY Baby, just to name a few. Needless to say, a powerhouse franchise was born.
So what exactly is DKNY and what makes it so special? Born in Long Island, New York, and hailing from Forrest Hills, Queens, Donna Karan expertly blends the fast pace of New York City with a seemingly ironic, classic sense of timelessness. Not only do her clothes reflect, through the use of clean lines and sleek shapes, the essence of New York, but her sunglasses do as well. Adding a pair of DKNY sunglasses to your wardrobe instantly updates your chic-est pieces, while conveying a sense of cool no one can deny.
Pick Your Frame
Owning a pair of durable and stylish sunglasses is an integral part of any fashionable wardrobe, but with so many styles and frames to choose from, picking the perfect look can leave you with a bit of a headache. In the spirit of DKNY sunglasses, here is a streamlined, clear-cut approach on choosing the shades that are right for you.
| Face Shape | Explanation |
| Oval Shaped | An oval face has balanced features with high cheekbones and a tapered chin that is slightly narrower than the forehead. Almost any style works on this face, but square-shaped sunglasses with softly rounded edges are your best bet. |
| Rounded | A round face has very few angles and both the width and length of the face are almost equal. Select a style that will allow your face to appear longer. Try a wide frame in an angular or rectangular style. |
| Diamond Shaped | A diamond face has a narrow forehead and jaw line, but is accompanied with wider cheekbones. The width and length of the face is equal. Look for sunglasses that soften the contour of the face by choosing oval, gently curved and square rimless glasses. |
| Square Shaped | If you have a square face, your features include a strong jaw line and a broad forehead with equal width and length in your face. The perfect choice for your face is classic, oval-shaped frames. Choosing this style of sunglasses will soften your face and present a pleasing, softly contoured look. |
| An Oblong Face Shape | An oblong face is more long than wide, with the jaw line usually being the widest part of the face. Look for sunglasses to shorten your face. Doing so will help to achieve a more balanced look. Choosing round or square frames will accomplish this beautifully. |
| Triangle or Heart-Shaped | Triangle and heart-shaped faces have a wider jaw line and a narrow forehead. To soften the face, choose frames that have a wide bottom. The perfect example include the very popular Aviator sunglasses. |
To help make choosing your DKNY sunglasses a bit easier, follow these rules:
- Choose frames that are in proportion to your face.
This is just a fancy way of saying that smaller frames look best on a smaller face and that larger frames work best with a longer face.
- When it comes to the frame shape, choose one that is the opposite of your face shape.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but if pressed for time, then this rule of thumb can be especially helpful. For example, if you have an oval face, opt for a square frame and vice versa.

First, know that the price is worth it, especially when you consider that a handsomely constructed pair of sunglasses can last you many years. Second and perhaps most importantly, is the fact that everyone can look good and enjoy a pair of sunglasses.
If you are an old hand, then adding a new pair to your sunglass collection may be just the thing for the upcoming season. And if you are new to the market, consider purchasing a pair. You’ll absolutely love the way they look, feel and complement your wardrobe.
