Our Dolce and Gabbana medium glasses collection brings the unmistakable Sicilian-baroque glamour of the Milanese house to a fit that flatters the widest range of faces. These are optical frames built for everyday wear yet dressed with the ornate detailing that made Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana famous: gilded temples, leopard and lace motifs, floral engraving and the interlocking DG emblem. As an authorised UK stockist, Ardor Eyewear supplies every pair as 100% genuine, ready to glaze with your prescription and delivered free across the UK.
Why choose Dolce and Gabbana medium glasses
The medium size sits in the sweet spot of eyewear sizing. Where small frames can look lost on a broad face and extra-large styles can overwhelm delicate features, a medium fit gives balanced proportions to the majority of adults. It is the most versatile size we sell, and it is where Dolce & Gabbana concentrate their most recognisable optical designs. Expect lens widths broadly in the 51mm to 54mm range, bridges tuned for average nose profiles and temple lengths that reach comfortably behind most ears. This collection gathers 29 medium-fit styles, including references such as the DG3389, DG3427, DG3395, DG3425 acetate frames alongside metal-and-acetate blends like the DG5031 and DG5105U.
What sets the brand apart is theatre. A pair of Dolce & Gabbana frames is rarely quiet. You will find baroque scrollwork borrowed from Sicilian cathedrals, animal prints rendered in translucent acetate, crystal accents and warm gold hardware. If you love designer eyewear that reads as jewellery for the face, this is your collection.

Design codes: Sicilian baroque, leopard and gold
Dolce & Gabbana built their identity on the romance of southern Italy — the black lace of traditional dress, the gold of religious iconography, the sun-bleached florals of a Palermo courtyard. Those references run straight through their optical range. Temple arms are frequently decorated with filigree or leopard-print laminate sandwiched between clear acetate layers, so the pattern glows when light passes through. Front frames arrive in glossy black, tortoiseshell, deep burgundy and havana browns, while the crossover metal styles lean on polished gold and rose-gold finishes. Even a restrained rectangular DG optical frame usually hides a signature flourish on the inner temple or a discreet crystal DG plaque at the hinge.
Frame shapes in this collection
Medium Dolce & Gabbana glasses span the full shape wardrobe. Rounded and panto styles soften angular features and suit those who want a softer, more vintage-leaning look. Rectangular and squared frames add structure and are a dependable choice for round or heart-shaped faces. Subtle cat-eye and butterfly silhouettes bring lift to the cheekbones and lean feminine, while unisex D-shapes work across genders. Because the fit is medium, most of these shapes will translate comfortably whether you have an oval, round, square or heart face — the shape does the styling while the size keeps proportions honest.
Materials and craftsmanship
Two material families dominate. First, premium cellulose acetate — a plant-based plastic that is polished to a deep shine, holds bold colour and allows those layered leopard and floral effects. Acetate frames such as the DG3389 and DG3427 feel substantial and warm against the skin. Second, lightweight metal alloys used in styles like the DG5031, often combined with acetate brow bars or temple tips for comfort. Metal fronts let the brand deliver slimmer, jewellery-like profiles and the gold tones that define the house. Sprung hinges, adjustable nose pads on the metal designs and reinforced acetate temples all add day-to-day durability.
Prescription lenses at Ardor
Almost every frame in this collection can be fitted with your prescription in our UK glazing lab. Choose from single-vision lenses for distance or reading, varifocal lenses for seamless near-to-far vision, or bifocals if you prefer a defined reading segment. We also offer blue-light filtering for screen-heavy days, light-reactive photochromic lenses that darken outdoors, and tinted options. Simply select your frame, add your prescription at checkout, and our opticians handle the glazing. If you need progressive lenses specifically, our guide to varifocal glasses explains how they work, and shoppers wanting more women's-focused optical shapes can explore women's prescription frames. Prescription orders typically take around 7–10 working days for glazing before dispatch.
Men's and women's Dolce & Gabbana glasses
This collection is intentionally mixed. Many Dolce & Gabbana medium frames are unisex, but the range spans distinctly feminine cat-eyes and florals through to sharper, more masculine squared and rounded acetates. If you are shopping for a bolder decorative look, the leopard and baroque styles lean feminine; if you want something cleaner, the plain black and havana rectangles and the gold metal frames work beautifully as men's glasses. Because sizing is medium throughout, couples often find complementary pairs here without compromising on fit.
Styling your medium D&G frames
Dolce & Gabbana glasses are an accessory first and a vision aid second — so style them like jewellery. Gold-detailed frames pair naturally with warm-toned outfits, tailoring and statement earrings for the office or evening. Leopard and tortoiseshell frames are a brilliant neutral that flatters most hair colours and works as hard with denim as with a dress. Glossy black baroque styles bring instant drama for events. If you also want a pair for the sun, consider matching your optical look with designer sunglasses from the same houses so your eyewear wardrobe feels considered.
