You don\u2019t need a beehive to pull off a cat-eye! Popular in the 1950s and 60s, these glasses were worn by fashionable women and sported\u00a0by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. The noticeable \u2018upsweep\u2019 at the corners create an angular frame and open up the eyes.<\/p>\n
Now worn more subtly, the cat-eye is still popular and are great for those with a rounder face shape.<\/p>\n
Anne\u2019s mirrored lenses stay in-tune with what\u2019s new in the fashion world; look out for them this season \u2013 high-street brands such as Topshop are already getting them in stock in time for summer.<\/p>\n
This updated version of cat-eye glasses are perfect for when you want to try out the \u2018street-style\u2019 look. Popular with this category, these sunnies can really pull an outfit together. Sticking to monochrome colours, I\u2019d pair them with dark jeans, a striped tee and a grey trench coat. Try out these mirrored cat-eye frames for yourself:<\/p>\n

In fact, glasses like Anne\u2019s here are a fab tool for switching up an outfit. Her plastic, orange frames pair well with her lighter hair colour and are the centrepiece of her look.<\/p>\n With brighter coloured glasses, I\u2019d keep the rest of the outfit fairly simplistic; you don\u2019t want to distract from them. With these Savannah frames below, I\u2019d choose capri-length trousers and loafers to keep a modern look, paired with a long sleeved blouse and blazer if you want to smarten things up.<\/p>\n Purples, pinks and whites go well with light yellow, so I\u2019d incorporate these colours into the outfit, too \u2013 perhaps with a bag or a hat like Anne\u2019s.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/7-doB1F0L3\/<\/p>\n Seemingly never going out of fashion, rounded frames are ideal for those with a more angular face shape. Anne Hathaway\u2019s pair look chic and glamorous with their white rims and thick arms. A stylish take on the popular classic gives a retro feel, taking us back to the 50s.<\/p>\n White frames like these means you have more freedom with different patterns and colours for the rest of your outfit. Sticking to the retro theme, pair the lenses with a collared blouse tucked into a skater skirt or high-waisted shorts, white pumps and denim jacket.<\/p>\n Polka dots, if you\u2019re a fan, would enhance the vintage style and these frames would go great with brightly coloured lipstick. Experiment with different shades to find one that best suits you. To make a start, take a look at these Vera Wang sunglasses:<\/p>\n Having a variety of styles means you could test out different outfits this summer. Whether you suit everything, like Anne seems to do, or like sticking to what you know, there\u2019s always going to be a frame for you out there.<\/p>\n Read the history of cat-eye glasses<\/a><\/p>\n Share your picks with us at #SelectSpecsSelfie<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nA Pop of Colour<\/h2>\n
