How to Effortlessly Pull off the Cat Eye Sunglasses Trend

One of the most classic sunglass shapes is none other than the cat eye. With its feline flicked edges, it's a go-to for a sartorial statement. Cat eye sunglasses have reigned the eyewear realm throughout the decades, and there are countless ways to mix and match them. Here are our favorite styles and the QUAY fits you can grab to flex a cool cat look. 

 BLACK/SMOKE

Rounded Frames for a Statement: BAD HABIT

For a style that's sharp but not too harsh, a large, rounded cat eye can be a versatile statement maker any time of year. While offering a feline flick, BAD HABIT embraces a softer silhouette in a sized-up frame for an all-eyes-on-you pop. This frame style is especially great for those with more angular features, as the rounded edges complement this facial structure. These trendy sunglasses work as the star of your look, but bold hoops and link rings can add a little something extra to your style.

BLACK/FADE

Frames to Keep it Luxe: IN PURSUIT

If you want to look extra luxe for a VIP occasion, a stylish pair of cat eye sunglasses will do just the trick. Turn heads your way from IN PURSUIT with semi-rimless butterfly frames with metal arms. For long-lasting comfort, these feature adjustable nose pads to give you the just-right fit. Whether worn with a structured flare dress or a flowy warm-weather midi, it adds a luxurious touch.

 BLACK/SMOKE POLARIZED

Extra Angular Frames to Up Your Edge Factor: CALL THE SHOTS

Extra angular edges mean extra edginess. CALL THE SHOTS with a flirty shape where the cat eye frame comes with a dose of sharpness at the sides. These can help strike a balance with your features if you have a rounder face shape. Channel a sporty chic look by matching these with your go-to bomber jacket.

White Cat Eye Frames for a Retro Vibe: EVER AFTER

For that 50's vibe à la Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn, a white cat eye frame is essential. Throw it back EVER AFTER when you toss on a pair with white frames and brown lenses. For the ultimate vintage look, a swipe of red lipstick and a turtleneck are failsafe choices to go with your cat eye.

BLACK/SMOKE POLARIZED

Super Sleek Small Frames for a 90's Mood: NARROW DOWN

With throwback sunglass styles, oversized isn't the only fit you can gravitate towards. More into a grunge 90's look? A sized-down cat eye can be a flawless addition to your eyewear wardrobe. NARROW DOWN your 'fit with a small, boxy cat eye. It's the type of low-key accessory that you can dress up or down, whether you pair it with a crewneck and denim pants or go for a silky slip dress. 


While a classic silhouette, the cat eye is a frame with timeless specs appeal. Be the cat's meow when you shop QUAY's cat eye sunglasses.
