What’s simpler than a perfectly-constructed cat eye makeup? Answer: Cat eye sunnies! Click through for fun ways to wear this hot eyewear trend.
Cat eye sunglasses graced faces of famous female celebrities as far back as the 1950s. Icons like Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor popularized the trend that went together with the 1960s beehive hairdo. Unlike the circle and the oversized bug-eyed sunglasses, this retro-style eyewear trend flatters all face shapes.
For angular face shapes, a pair of cat eye sunnies with rounded edges will help to soften the look. For rounded face shapes, ones with sharper edges and an exaggerated cat eye style aid to draw the attention up and away from the jawline or cheeks.
With the glasses’ outer edges significantly raised near the temples, the wearer’s look is subtly transformed. Of course, we do ponder about the right kind of outfits to wear with such a strong statement-making eyewear. And delightfully, the answer is again, simple and straightforward. From casual to dressy, this is one of the versatile eyewear styles that can infuse instant pizzazz regardless of the outfit you are wearing.

Cat eye sunglasses are my favorite sunglasses to wear! I have a pretty round face, so it helps draw the attention away from my face shape to my eyes, like you said. I think cat eyes make any outfit look sassy, hehe. I’m just on the lookout for a mirrored cat eye sunglass! Hope you had a wonderful Monday, love!

Same here; my pretty round-ovalish face appreciates the cat eye sunglasses shape. I’m also looking for a pair that isn’t too expensive. I think you’d look good in this — no mirrors though:

Thank you for swinging by Diane and have a beautiful Monday/Tuesday (hehe!) :) xx
Oh this is so cool! Thanks for showing this to me! (: It looks like a double cat eye, haha. The frame is just too cool because of the simplicity of it but with a twist to a common look!
It does look like a double but that could be the ‘arms’ of the sunglasses. I’m uncertain. Such mystery, haha! Have a lovely Wednesday, Diane :) xx
Love all the inspirational photos! I am loving this trend too!
