Cat Eye Glasses

Cat eye glasses are so flattering because they can be worn with almost any face shape. They’re the perfect accessory for anyone who wants to add a little boost of style to their outfit.

While cat eye glasses may have vintage origins, they carry a timeless style that’s still very popular today. Look and you’ll find them anywhere – from the runways and vintage shops to high-end eyeglasses stores and top fashion insesas. Fashion mainstays like Dior, Chanel and Gucci have put their own spin on cat eye glasses.

Whilst invented in the 1930s as a response to the dull options of women’s eyewear that were available, cat eye glasses were popularized during the 1950s-60s. Audrey Hepburn’s iconic tortoiseshell cat eye glasses in the movie Breakfast At Tiffany’s shot the style into popularity. The style endured over the years, with each decade seeing a new distinct variation of the cat eye.

Cat eye glasses look great on square faces, and can help soften the angles and lines of your face and bring more balance to your facial features.

Cat eye glasses get their name from the way the upper part of the frame curves upwards to look like a cat’s eye.
