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.
