Although women may debate what it means to be “feminine,” few would disagree that the CatEye (and all its variations) is an elegant and flattering style that many women are drawn to. The upward sweep, whether subtle or dramatic, and the tapered corners, whether soft or angular, give this style its own distinct look. Polished or quirky, fun or formidable, this frame is defined by the woman who wears it and how she sees herself.
