Cat eye glasses trend

The trend on cat eye glasses is now resurfacing this spring and summer. The revival of this vintage inspired trend of the late 50s and early 60s were showcased by some designers in their collection. Prada has been the prominent advocate of this trend. Jerry Scott, Tommy Hilfiger, Giles Deacon and Paul Smith shared their versions of the cat eye glasses.

Cat eye glasses can be defined as thick-rimmed glasses with the arms of the glasses joining the lenses at the very top corners. They were mainly popular in the 1950s and 1960s among fashionable women.

Unlike some eye wear trends of seasons’ past, the current Cat Eye Glasses trend is actually quite wearable for a wide range of faces. That’s because there are really a wide range of opportunities: the more traditional ‘50s swoop and a wider, softer ‘80s iteration.

Apart from these general categories, there are millions of different variations on these categories. Be sure you can find a shape that flatters your face and personal style.

If you plan to make your specs as fashion statement the cat eye is the best accessory to wear. Expect this year’s cat eye glasses on the streets and runway. It’s bolder and fashionable than ever. So bring out your sunglasses and great the sunny weather of spring and summer.
