Take a front selfie

Look straight into the camera with your whole face in the frame and your hair as you usually wear it. Take off any glasses you have on. Even lighting works best.

Cat-eye glasses have upper outer corners that sweep up into soft points, with a heavier top rim and a slimmer lower one. The shape appeared in the 1930s and became the frame of the 1950s, and it lifts the eye line: the eye follows the frame up and out toward the temples.

How pronounced the wing is sets the look. A soft cat-eye is an everyday frame; a sharp, high wing is vintage and dramatic. The top of the frame should follow your eyebrows, not sit above them.

FAQ

Are cat-eye glasses only for women?

They are worn mostly by women, but a soft, squared-off cat-eye with only a slight lift works as a unisex frame.

Do cat-eye glasses suit a small face?

Yes, in a smaller size with a soft wing. A high, sharp wing on a big frame can overwhelm small features.
