Glasses play a unique role when it comes to trends. Most \u201cnew\u201d styles become old and then new again every few years. The classic cat-eye has been around since the \u201850s, but as you can see in Zenni\u2019s cat-eye collection, it also manages to reinvent itself as time goes on. On the hipster front, the classic square style will literally never go away. We\u2019re not mad about it \u2014 this style of glasses has the power to make pretty much anyone look like a creative genius ;). And after my own heart is the return of the \u201890s. We never thought it would happen, but it\u2019s here and Zenni\u2019s got the translucent bubble gum frames that go along with it.<\/p>\n

Scroll on to check out 3 holiday-ready gift guides inspired by Zenni\u2019s collection of chic eyewear.<\/p>\n

THE CAT LOVER<\/p>\n

For our first picture purrfect gift guide<\/a>, we\u2019ve curated a collection of kittentastic gifts for cat lovers, owners and self-proclaimed crazy cat ladies. You know who you are.<\/p>\n

Zenni\u2019s cat-eye game is strong, so it was a no-brainer to find a way to feature some of their most feline-inspired frames.<\/p>\n

\"Brit-Co-Zenni-Blog-3-Cat\"<\/p>\n

Starting at the top we\u2019ve got Cat-Eye Sunglasses<\/a> ($35.95) that instantly bring retro babes to mind. We love the ultra-cool vibe these shades evoke. Next, we\u2019re swooning over these two-tone tortoiseshell Cat-Eye Eyeglasses<\/a> ($12.95). We opted for the translucent lavender option, complete with playful black polka dots at the top and black temple arms to ground the look. And on the bottom of this stylin\u2019 stack is another pair Cat-Eye Frames<\/a> ($35.95), with regular lenses rather than sunny ones.<\/p>\n

THE \u201890s KID<\/p>\n

If I told you this was the first time I\u2019ve written a \u201890s-themed gift guide, I would be lying to you. Gifts that have to do with the \u201890s happen to be my specialty \u2014 in fact, I\u2019m gazing lovingly at a lava lamp I gifted myself just last week. I know all the words to both Clueless *and* Reality Bites. I even created a custom hashtag<\/a> that pertains to all things \u201890s. That\u2019s how deep my \u201890s love flows. So the moment I saw Zenni<\/a>\u2019s fresh line of pastel frames and mirrored shades, I knew that this year\u2019s Brit + Co \u201990s gift guide<\/a> had to be born.<\/p>\n

\"Brit-Co-Zenni-Blog-4-90s\"<\/p>\n

If you were a tween or teen in the \u201890s, we\u2019re betting you or your best friend had a pair of these translucent candy-colored frames.<\/p>\n

\"Brit-Co-Zenni-Blog-5-90s\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll start at the top with a pair of Round Half Rim Acetate Frames<\/a> ($24), boasting a bold browline and girly pink vibes. And because pink frames aren\u2019t enough, opt for pink lenses with this pair and you will see the world through a technicolor version of rose-colored sunnies. Smack dab in the middle we\u2019ve got the pair of glasses that every single person who wore glasses in the \u201890s owned. These Acetate Full Rim Frame<\/a> ($19) glasses are available in pink and purple, because no other colors would make sense. And if you\u2019re going for more of a cool-girl vibe, these yellow Round Acetate Frames<\/a> ($24) feature a keyhole bridge for comfort and style.<\/p>\n

THE SHUTTERBUG<\/p>\n

Got someone on your list who loves snapping photos every chance they get? Perhaps they\u2019re all about old school film, just purchased their first DSLR or swear by their very special VSCO filter recipe \u2014 no matter what, they\u2019ve got a thing for capturing images. Lucky for you, we\u2019ve whipped up a gift guide<\/a> that\u2019s all about giving the shutterbugs in your life goodies that celebrate their favorite hobby, from selfie sticks (yep) to a gorgeous book of Polaroids.<\/p>\n

\"Brit-Co-Zenni-Blog-6-Shutterbug\"<\/p>\n

The Zenni glasses that inspired this tech-forward gift guide are all about classic lines, dark tones and a hipster vibe.<\/p>\n

\"Brit-Co-Zenni-Blog-7-Shutterbug\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take it from the top. Still bummed your dad never built you that treehouse when you were little? Now you can \u2014 bear with \u2014 wear a treehouse on your face! These Faux Wood Frames<\/a> ($30) feature that classic square shape and are available as glasses or sunnies. They\u2019ll most definitely *spruce* up your look. Next, we\u2019ve got a pair of Browline Eyeglasses<\/a> ($30) that are all about the two-tone retro aesthetic. Below that we\u2019ve got a Two-Tone Acetate Pair With Spring Hinges<\/a>($26). So fly! And we\u2019ll finish this one off with the coolest shades we\u2019ve seen. Dubbed 1878, these Acetate Full-Rim Frames<\/a> ($28) are picture-perfect for a pair of chic sunglasses.<\/p>\n
