LF Icon: The Cat Eye

A timeless silhouette, the cat eye frame represents old-time glamour and feminine elegance originally born in the 40s and 50s. This vintage shape is characterised by a rounded style that flares out at the top of the lens creating an elongated feline shape sitting on top of the cheekbone. Linda Farrow's collections feature cat eye sunglasses in an array of finishes and shapes - from retro super pointed cat eyes to softly curved oversized pieces, ideal for most face shapes.
