These stylish Balenciaga Dynasty sunglasses have been on my radar for some time. I was able to grab two pairs on sale! Here’s everything you need to know about the stylish frames.

Balenciaga Dynasty Glasses Review
The Dynasty sunglasses come in two distinct styles, Dynasty D-frame and Dynasty Rectangle. I was able to get both pair on sale (Click the pictures below). These glasses were reminiscent of the 90s Versace glasses with the gold hardware. I got the D-frame glasses after finding them on sale. I got the red Dynasty Rectangle sunglass some time later. Both pair definitely elevate any outfit.
Similarities
Both styles feature the gold double B logo at the temple. Balenciaga is also lasered on the right lens of the glasses. The Dynasty sunglasses are made from acetate which is a material that is stronger, more durable, and more flexible than plastic. The acetate is definitely heavier and you can feel the weight difference.

Differences
The most obvious difference is that frame shape. The D-frame is reminiscent of a cat-eye shape. The frame height differs just slightly. For me, the D-frame covers more area on my face. The rectangle shape is not like most micro-glasses. They are definitely smaller than the D-Frame but not small enough to not provide sun protection.
The frame colors also differ. I have noticed that certain colors are made in the rectangle frame that aren’t made in the D-frame.
