Feminine Feline.

This summer it’s time for us ladies to bring out our inner feline, and what better accessory than the iconic cat eye sun glasses. The cat eye sun glasses were for the fashion savvies of the 50’s and 60’s, firstly worn by our favourite fastionistas Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. It’s no wonder we are seeing the re-invented shape back on the catwalk and high-street. They ooze sexy sophistication and feminity.

  
However this time round the shape is more subtle than in the 50’s where they were more pointed with detail corners. Now being re-invented in brightly coloured acetated or the thick square rimmed style seen recently on our quirky Lady Gaga. From the wonder women wing Jeremy Scott design to the brightly coloured Giles, the catwalks modern twist gives a great sense of fun however still keeping the sophisticated style. The high-street also are showing their fair share of styles from floral to tortoiseshell, acetate to polka dot. Asos do a great selection of vintage inspired cat eyes from polka dot to floral keeping in touch with the season’s trends.

Being such a style feature you can easily wear your cat eyes with a brightly coloured skirt and t-shirt or a floral maxi dress, you can even go all out vintage with a 50’s summer dress and necktie. Seeing as our favourite celebs are already fronting the look it won’t be long until we all have our purrfect pair. Whatever you’re style theses little beauties will keep the sun shining all day.

I would also love to add our own  range at That Indie Look. Well we wouldn't be retro and vintage classics if we didn't.
