FAQs
What makes black cat eye glasses so timeless?
Black cat eye glasses are a timeless classic because they are universally flattering and incredibly versatile. The upswept shape lifts and defines the face, while the black colourway provides a bold, graphic contrast that works with any outfit, skin tone, or hair colour. It's a style that has been loved by icons for decades, from Audrey Hepburn to modern-day fashionistas.
What face shape suits black cat eye glasses?
The beauty of the cat eye is its versatility. The style is particularly flattering on round, oval, and heart-shaped faces, as the angular, upswept lines provide a beautiful contrast to softer features. However, with our wide range of sizes and shapes, from the oversized Rita to the petite Hedy, there is a perfect black cat eye frame for every face.
Can I get these frames with prescription lenses?
Yes, absolutely. All of our frames are available with your custom prescription. We offer single vision, progressive, reading, and blue light filtering lenses. Simply choose your favourite frame, select "Custom Lenses," and enter your prescription details at checkout.
Are black cat eye glasses in style this year?
Yes, black cat eye glasses are always in style. While trends come and go, the black cat eye is a perennial favourite that transcends seasons. For 2026, we're seeing a move towards both classic, vintage-inspired shapes and more modern, angular interpretations of the style, both of which are well-represented in our collection.
How do I care for my acetate frames?
To keep your black acetate frames looking their best, clean them regularly with a soft, microfibre cloth and a gentle lens cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the frame's finish. When you're not wearing them, store your glasses in their protective case to prevent scratches.
