Cat eye glasses for Women

Originating in the 1950s, cat-eye glasses were designed to enlarge and elongate their wearer's eyes. The style became popularized by Hollywood actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, who used them to create an air of mystery and glamour. Since then, cat-eye glasses have been through a series of iterations and style evolution, becoming smaller and sleeker in the 60s and 70s before making a return to their more dramatic roots in the 80s.

Today, cat-eye glasses are once again gaining popularity. They can be seen on the runways of major fashion designers and on the faces of celebrities like Rihanna and Nicole Richie.

Everything You Need To Know About This Iconic Style 

What are Cat-Eye Glasses?

Cat-eye glasses are a style of women's eyewear that feature upswept frames and sharply angled corners. The name comes from the resemblance of the style to the outline of a cat's eye.

Cat-eye glasses were first designed in the 1950s and became extremely popular in the following decades. The style has seen several iterations over the years but has always maintained its essential cat-eye shape.

In 1947 Christian Dior created an ornate design of the cat-eye with voluminous acetate material. This New Look was designed to show off a woman's facial features and accentuate the bountiful bust and hips of the post-war, modern and confident woman.

Why Are They So Popular?

There are a number of reasons why cat-eye glasses have been so popular for so long: 

Flattering style

First and foremost, the style is extremely flattering on most face shapes. The upswept frames and angled corners add definition and emphasize the eyes of the wearer. The design helps to elongate the face, and the angled corners can help to slim down a rounder face. 

Iconic and trendy

The cat-eye glasses for women are also a trendy, classic style that has been worn by some of the most iconic women in history. From Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe to Grace Kelly and Rihanna, the iconic cat-eye design symbolizes the smart, sexy, and liberated modern-day woman. 

Highly versatile

Cat-eye glasses are insanely versatile and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Whether you're heading to the office or hitting the town for a night out, cat-eye glasses will give you a chic and sophisticated look. Depending on your personal style, you can pair the cat-eye glasses with a retro look or something more modern.

How to Wear Cat-Eye Glasses

There are a number of ways to wear cat-eye glasses. One of the most popular is to style them as part of a retro look. To do this, pair them with high-waisted trousers or a pencil skirt and a button-down blouse. You can also wear them with a modern outfit by pairing them with skinny jeans and a leather jacket.

They look professional with suits and will make any dress or blouse look more sophisticated. You can also have fun with style by opting for a bolder cat-eye frame in a bright color or pattern.

No matter how you choose to wear them, cat-eye glasses are sure to add a touch of glamour and sophistication to your look.
