Cat-eye frames sweep up at the outer corners. The shape dates back to the 1950s and still feels fresh today: bold without being loud, and easier to wear than most people think.
Who cat-eye sunglasses suit
- Round face → the lifted corners add angles and definition.
- Heart-shaped face → the upswept line balances a wider forehead and a narrower chin.
- Square face → the curves soften a strong jaw.
- Oval face → almost any cat-eye works, so go with the look you like.
Subtle or dramatic?
For a softer lift that's easy to wear every day, try the 9674 Taupe Cat-Eye or the T52P Cat-Eye.
For a bolder, retro statement, try the 101 Black Cat-Eye, the 953 Cat-Eye or the 860 Cat-Eye.
Styling tips
- Black frames are the most versatile and go with almost everything.
- Brown, taupe and tortoise tones look softer and warmer.
- Keep the outfit simple and let the frames be the statement.
- Watch the scale: the frame shouldn't be much wider than your face.
Want the look indoors too?
Cat-eye shapes also come as clear-lens fashion frames. Try the 9638 Black Cat-Eye Eyeglasses or the 2973 Cat-Eye Eyeglasses.
