Round and Semi-Round Frames
Even though each style has it’s own selling point, round-framed eyeglasses are the style with the most personality. However, it’s true that round frames aren’t fit for every face.

Cat Eye Frames
The Cat Eye frames are the most fun and daring. Very feminine, and quite elegant. Made popular in the 1950s by celebrity icons like Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. Do you dare make Cat Eyes your look?
If you loves these styles but are looking for a more aggressive, edgy design, we recommend the Gigi Barcelona Oversize; a mix of retro with cat-eyed curves and an updated aesthetic. Emma Stone looked great with her Cat Eyes in her role as Skeeter in The Help, but can’t you imagine yourself just as easily arriving at the office, or Uni in these funky frames?
