An accompaniment to the 50’s and 60’s style re-emergence is a pair of cat eye sunglasses or eyeglasses. From subtle shapes to more extreme there will be an array of frames to choose from featuring designers such as Paul Smith, Tom Ford and Jeremy Scott.
A cat eye frame will generally work best with a square face or diamond shaped face, but nothing is set in stone. It is important to try on a pair and see how they work for look & style.
These frames can be versatile and compliment many outfits, from vintage to modern. However, stick to the 40’s to the 60’s if the goal is for a vintage inspired look.
Many of the style trends for 2011 are about paring down and making a statement. With Cat eye spectacles make a strong statement by choosing a pair with diamond-shaped lenses that point sharply out. Go subtle with an everyday pair that has a slight flare out at the edges.
