The transformation of glasses from functional to fashionable is fascinating. Before the twentieth century, glasses were viewed as a necessary evil – a\u00a0sign of old-age and infirmity. It was only at the start of the twentieth century and with the advent of different styles that glasses became fashionable. Glasses for fashion really began in the 1940’s as advances in the manufacturing of plastic and other materials enhanced \u00a0the overall design and look of \u00a0the frames.<\/p>\n

Back in the 1940s\u00a0Cat-Eye style glasses were on trend for women. The classic up-sweep on the top of the rim was \u00a0flattering and feminine and was a look worn by many women of this period. \u00a0By the 1950’s the Cat-eye frame had become extremely glamorous and fashionable.<\/p>\n

Cat-eye by William Morris London<\/h2>\n

However, if you seek a more toned down Cat-eye frame but still want that edge, then you can’t go wrong with a Cat-eye frame from William Morris London. \u00a0In fact, this whole range will leave you feeling inspired. This British brand provides you with a quirky yet stylish look suitable for all personalities. \u00a0The frames are bold and directional yet highly saleable. \u00a0I have chosen the WL6946 frame which comes in 4 completely different colour options. \u00a0You can see them all here<\/a>. \u00a0It is worth taking a look a the different options because the colour style is so varied which is unique in itself. \u00a0I have chosen the Crystal Black Leopard frame to show you but the Scarlett Crystal frame is also unique but there is also the Black Leopard print for the more daring.<\/p>\n
