Cat-Eye Glasses
Cat-eye glasses were first introduced in the 1930s. They gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, made famous by actresses such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. They symbolized women's liberation from former conventional styles and were often associated with confidence, style and grace.
Exploring Cat-Eye Glasses Styles and Trends
Cat-eye glasses styles and trends have changed over the years, but the upswept outer corners remain, giving them the signature look adored by millions.
From oversized, thick frames embellished with rhinestones to finer, sleek, thinner frames with modern, edgy details, these glasses have been adapted to stay current in every era.
Cat-Eye Frames Styles
At Eyemart Express, we stock plastic, metal and stainless steel cat-eye frames in bold, bright or subtle colors and seamless finishes. Our vast selection of cat-eye prescription glasses and sunglasses boost confidence, whether worn casually or occasionally.
Face Shapes for Cat-Eye Glasses
Cat-eye glasses flatter various face shapes but particularly suit certain ones. They promote a youthful appearance, especially when experimenting with bright colors and face-framing styles.
There's no set rule about the face type, but cat-eye glasses complement the following shapes beautifully:
- Oval
- Heart
- Round
- Square
- Diamond
- Rectangular
When choosing cat-eye glasses for your face shape, consider the size proportion. Oversized frames may hide smaller faces, while petite frames may look out of place on larger faces. The frame's color and thickness should accentuate your skin tone and hair color, although this may be subjective and based on preference.
After all, you should have the confidence, personality and style to choose the cat-eye glasses you like and want!
Shopping for Cat-Eye Glasses
You wear glasses for specific reasons. Whether they're an accessory or for vision correction, we'll help you find the ideal cat eye for you.
Prescription vs. Non-Prescription Cat-Eye Glasses
Prescription cat-eye glasses require an eye exam and help correct eyesight problems such as near- and farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism. The lens type and customization options help determine the glass's suitability since they're tailored to your eye's needs.

FAQs About Cat-Eye Glasses
What Face Shape Looks Best With Cat-Eye Glasses?
Round, oval and heart face shapes look best with cat-eye glasses because this style offers balancing and lifting properties. However, they are a beautiful choice no matter what face shape you have. Cat-eye frames feature an upswept style that softens features and highlights the cheekbones, adding curves to angular faces and structure to softer ones. Consider how different cat-eye styles can complement the following face shapes:
- Round: Sharp-edged or angular cat-eye frames are best if you have a round face shape because they elongate the face and add definition.
- Oval: Nearly every cat-eye style looks fantastic on oval-shaped faces, but wider frames are especially flattering because they enhance the face's natural symmetry.
- Heart: Frames with lighter colors and a broader top are an excellent choice if you have a heart-shaped face. These help narrow the chin and balance a wider forehead.
- Diamond: Cat-eye styles that emphasize the upper face and eyes are best if you have a narrower chin and forehead and high cheekbones.
- Square: Frames with rounded edges or gentle curves can help soften a broader forehead and strong jawline. If you have a diamond-shaped face, look for cat-eye frames with an exaggerated upward sweep at the temples.
