The current generation has come to know and love Cat Eye glasses from shows like Mad Men and other programs that popularized sunglass styles from the 1960s. Cat Eye lenses are named as such because, well, they look like cat eyes! The frames are rounded on the inside and pointed in the corners in order to recreate the feline look, and they help women look sassy or demure depending on the style.
Updates on the frames are now available, and manufacturers have modernized the look to remove some of the sharpness which adds some modern sass.
