Cat eye frames have been a style icon since the 1950s, and they've never really left. The upswept corners add lift and personality to any face. Here's how to wear them with confidence.

Why Cat Eye Flatters

The upward sweep at the outer corners visually lifts the face, drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones. It's a universally flattering shape that works especially well for round, oval, and heart-shaped faces by adding definition and balance.

How to Style Cat Eye Frames

  • Bold and colorful: let candy-colored frames be the focal point of a neutral outfit.
  • Subtle and rimless: keep the shape but keep it minimal for everyday wear.
  • Retro glam: pair a classic black or tortoiseshell cat eye with red lips.
