Cat Eye Style

Cat Eye Sunglasses can commonly be associated with elegance and class, a trend that was popular in the 1950s and 1960s. This sophisticated style of sunglasses illustrates a distinctive feminine characteristic. Audrey Hepburn, a world re-noun actress known for her cultivated style, was a connoisseur of cat eye style sunglasses. Like every trend making its way into the modern world, the cat eye style has been reformed to an over-sized cat eye to fit this seasons fashion.

Decade after decade, sunglasses remain an essential accessory for every outfit. Whether you are walking in bright sunny weather or making a bold fashion statement, everyone can use a fashionable pair on sunglasses to complete an outfit. Trends from past decades make successful comebacks time and time again. This spring, the streets are filled with over-sized retro style with an emphasis on both over-sized circular sunglasses from the 60s as well as elegant, over-sized 1950s cat eye sunglasses.

Vintage Style: Clubmaster

During the 1980s, the Clubmaster was the third bestselling sunglasses behind the Wayfarer and Aviator. This can mostly be attributed to the demand of browline glasses, which were extremely popular during the 1950s and 1960s. The bold pair frames the lenses similarly to the way eyebrows frame eyes, explaining the origin of their name. Originally invented in 1947, browline sunglasses rose in popularity during the 1950s, making up half of all eyeglasses sold and worn. Maintaining their popularity, despite advances in plastics manufacturing, many famous figures in the mid-20^th century were photographed wearing a pair.
