Thank 1920s iconic filmmaker and designer Altina Schinasi Miranda for the fabulous design of cat-eye sunglasses. While they've been around since the 30s, cat-eye sunglasses took the world by storm in the 1960s after Audrey Hepburn rocked a pair in the classic film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Acetate cat-eye sunglasses have been a hot item ever since. And can you blame anyone?
While we think anyone can rock a pair of cat-eyes with enough confidence, this design makes certain face shapes look effortlessly stylish. A round face is perfect for a dramatic cat-eye shape. Like Selena Gomez and Emma Stone, a round face means your forehead and cheekbones have the same width. If you have one too and are in the market for some new cat-eye shades, pop some more angular styles in your cart like Sophia. If you're one of those lucky women with an oval face shape like Rhianna and Katy Perry, any pair of sunglasses will look good on you! If you've got an oval face, you need to check out Lucy and Cleo. For heart-shaped faces like Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lopez, look for shades that are more exaggerated and sit nicely on top of those stark cheekbones. Try the Aria for a stylish, classic look on a heart-shaped face.
WMP Eyewear offers multiple cat-eye styles. Make a serious statement in Aria, with its oversized and exaggerated shape and polarized lens available in a variety of colors including classic black or bold mirrored blue. This new, bold style feels like the cat-eye version of Elton John’s iconic round frames. Nothing says classic starlet quite like Aubrie, an oversized soft rounded frame. If you want to feel like a movie star from the 60s, you need these shades.
We know that when you're shopping for the best pair of acetate cat-eye sunglasses for your wardrobe, it's almost impossible to pick just one.
