Just like any other frame, the cat-eye shape has been around for a very long time. Every decade is known for a specific reason. The cat-eye body is there through it all. There is a reason why it is standing still.

Here’s how the story began: The shape was first created in the 1930s. Altina Schinasi walked by an optician’s office and noticed the lack of stylish frames for women. She had a vision, and she wanted to change that. Where did the inspiration come from? Ironically, it came from masks in Venice, Italy. Schinasi was fascinated by the shape. So, she designed glasses with oversized frames around the eyes. After that, she pitched in her drawn design, but several clinics rejected her. However, she never gave up. She finally gained a fan in a boutique in New York City. The rest is history.

So many well-known celebrities rocked the cat-eye shape, which increased their demand and popularity. In the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe started wearing glasses in her movies. However, they were different from the 1930’s original shape. The glasses began becoming narrower and more pointed at the tip. The frames later became more famous for sunglasses. In the 1960s, the late Audrey Hepburn wowed the viewers by wearing cat-eye frames in Breakfast at Tiffany’s favourite movie.

In the 1970s, the eyewear trend grew bigger. In other words, oversized glasses were the go-to shape. The movement kept going to the 1980s as well with a bit of twist. Instead of the 70’s dramatic feel, you can see the oversized cat-eye glasses in metal frames. Moving to the 1990s, the size of the glasses was still significant, but the lenses became coloured. FYI, coloured lenses are making a comeback for this year too! Lastly, with the new millennium introducing more oversized frames. Cat-eye frames were being worn in thick frames, often with some spark on the sides.

It’s hard to find the right pair of glasses when there is a whole variety out there that’s just ready to be introduced to the world. Whether it is sunglasses or eyeglasses, each pair speaks to different occasions and moods.
