Cat-eye Style Eyeglasses, Vintage Cat-Eye Sunglasses
Eyewear / Cat Eye GlassesIn 1961, the fashion world was abuzz over Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The romantic comedy, based on a novella by Truman Capote, starred Audrey Hepburn as heroine Holly Golightly and featured breathtaking fashions. One of the most iconic images of the film is of Hepburn in a slinky, black, one-of-a-kind Givenchy dress. Another shows Hepburn window shopping while wearing cat eye sunglasses. The film sparked a trend in the eyewear world of wearing cat eye glasses. Both sunglasses and prescription eyewear could be found in cat eye shapes, and these popular frames flew off the shelves. Years later, cat eye glasses are still popular. A few years back, wearing “Lisa Loeb” glasses was all the rage. The indie musician’s penchant for cat eye glasses made them as popular as her number one single, “Stay (I Missed You).” Cat eye glasses are a great way to make a statement with your eyewear.
