Steep vs Cheap: Cat eye sunglasses
This season, Prada made for fruity fashion playtime with monkey business on skirts and Fifties-inspired, cat eye swirly sunglasses. Dior did much the same, teaming cat eye frames with Lolita fringes and eclectic prints. And with the summer sun playing peek-a-boo from behind the frequently grey sky, we’re trooping on in search of our favourite feline accessories.
Tom Fords’ Fifties-inspired Nikita sunglasses perfectly nod to old school Audrey Hepburn charm. We love the bold black colour – ever versatile for a range of looks – and the cat eye frame provides a playful retro alternative to the more commonly chosen oversized shapes and RayBan Wayfarers.
But priced at £239, they’re one pair of frames you’ll to be too afraid to wear.
Enter ASOS‘s cat eyes sunglasses. The modestly priced yet equally fashionable version definitely makes for a pretty sight.
Adding retro glamour to a day or evening look, and stylishly protecting your peepers from harmful sun rays, there’s no chance of forgetting these beauties on the beach.
