In the ever-evolving world of eyewear fashion, some styles stand the test of time, and classic cat eye frames are undoubtedly among the iconic designs that have transcended eras. At Zenni, we believe in celebrating the timeless elegance of eyewear, and our collection of classic cat eye frames is a testament to enduring style and sophistication.

The Origins of the Cat Eye:

The cat eye frame design first gained popularity in the 1950s and ’60s, capturing the essence of the glamorous Hollywood era. Inspired by the feline shape of a cat’s eye, these frames quickly became synonymous with elegance, femininity, and a touch of mystery. Today, Zenni pays homage to this timeless style, infusing it with modern sensibilities for a contemporary twist.
