Beautifully designed, cat-eye frames have a retro look that makes a woman look sexy, intelligent and mysterious. This style can also work miracles if you’re dressed in an eye-catching colorway.

The Primavista Eyeglasses for women can be the perfect ingredient to a colorful outfit. They are fashion glasses for women and can be considered a statement piece.

Try these quirky tortoise shell eyeglasses in lavender if you want a pair of colorful and classy cat-eye frames that you can easily match with your office or day-to-day outfits.

Suggested face shape

 

Cat-eye glasses work best with diamond-shaped faces. Diamond faces usually have a narrower forehead and chin, while cat eyeglasses are wide, working perfectly together.

Women should also know that cat eyeglasses will draw your face upwards and make you look younger. 

 

2. Round Eyeglasses

Round eyeglasses have been making a major comeback this season. Currently, among the hottest trends in women’s fashion, round glasses are destined for free-spirited women.

Appropriate for a posh party and a day in the office, the round glasses silhouette often comes in high-quality acetate or metal.

 

[product handle="cupertino-eyeglasses" variant="40750115094718"]

 

Suggested Face Shape

 

Ladies with square features should opt for round or oval eyeglasses because they will soften their features. The roundness of the frame will come in contrast with the angular features assuring you of a beautiful result.

3. Geek/Hipster Eyeglasses

 

The geek style is a must in a list of fashion glasses for women. Though a relatively new style, hippie eyeglasses have become a symbol of wearing trendy frames without prescription lenses. Often called nerd glasses, they make you look like a cute, attractive… well… “nerd”!

 

These stylish glasses can obviously be used for reading or distance, but foremost, they are a fashion accessory. The slightly oversized acetate frame that so often comes in black has been the preferred choice for many celebrities and fashionistas.

Hipster frames are the cool glasses you need for your smart-office wardrobes. Vint & York’s square eyeglasses frame will help you emulate the geek chic look.

[product handle="keen-eyeglasses" variant="40749364445374"]

 

Suggested Face Shape

 

Hipster glasses are often round, square or rectangular, so they should contrast with your face shape. Women with round or oval faces should go for frames that are wider than the face because the frame will add more balance to the circular features.

 

4. Vintage Eyeglasses

 

Vintage eyeglasses are still in style and you can rock them with confidence. Women prefer retro eyewear styles because they preserve the throwback design and add a modern twist.

[product handle="ruby-eyeglasses" variant="40750213824702"]

 

 

Vintage eyeglasses frames with shapes such as the cat-eye or the square lens can be an excellent addition to your wardrobe. If you want something more feminine, choose one of the best women’s eyeglasses styles – the RUBY EYEGLASSES frame.

With smooth lines and a feline shape, the Mulberry Eyeglasses are elegant black frame glasses perfect for ladies.

5. Oversized Eyeglasses

Big glasses are amongst the best women’s glasses because they are interesting and engaging, a sort of an invitation to a conversation.

Always in fashion, oversized specs are a fashion statement that hints at a superstar attitude.

Oversized glasses come in all shapes and are not limited to a particular style. Depending on your face shape, you go square, round, oval and whatever works. Most big frame glasses are made from high-quality acetate, but round oversized metal frames are also popular.

[product handle="stella-eyeglasses" variant="40750022820030"]

 

However, this year’s top women glasses trends have been prominently dominated by large, acetate frames like Ritzy Eyeglasses.

Suggested face shape

The ideal face for oversized glasses is the oval or plump face. They also work for round faces as long as the big glasses silhouette is the opposite – square or rectangular.

 

6. Browline Eyeglasses

 

The browline eyeglasses have been gaining popularity over the year and have emerged as one of the best-selling women’s glasses frames.

The heavy brow bar suggests seriousness and is the preferred eyewear for professional women who work in the business environment.

 

Black is usually the preferred color for these straight brow glasses, making matching them with outfits pretty easy.

The straight browline styles are almost always made from high-quality acetate rather than metal. The glasses have thick frames, which account for their safety and overall resistance to shock, so you don’t have to worry about breaking them.

 

Suggested Face Shape

The best type of face for this style is oval and round, with a prominent forehead that can support this frame.

 

7. Tortoise Shell Eyeglasses

 

The tortoiseshell glasses, also known as horn-rimmed glasses cat eyeglasses, have been a best seller in women’s eyewear for a while now and their popularity shows no sign of slowing down.

The eyeglasses frames are painted in beautiful nuances of honey yellow and wood brown, a style that complements your facial features.

 

 

Tortoiseshell prescription glasses can be worn in any setting and with any outfit. They are a versatile eyeglasses style that aims to boost your look and give you confidence.

As far as eyeglasses frames for women go, there is nothing more attractive than a pair of horn-rimmed glasses.

If you are looking for something more simple, tortoise shell patterns can even work on half-frame eyeglasses. Vint & York’s Sharp Eyeglasses is an excellent example of how a simple frame can be attractive.

For a more graphic, bolder tortoiseshell style, look at our BROOKLYN EYEGLASSES. This frame is a reinterpreted version of the classic horn-rimmed glasses and is made to stand out.

With the tortoiseshell pattern, you only have to consider the shape of your frames. Try using shapes opposite to your face, and you will shine. You can find out more about The Best Glasses for Your Face Shape on our blogs.

 

8. Clear Eyeglasses

The clear glasses frames are one of those cool glasses styles that you can’t go wrong with. They have a unique way of bringing light to your face and complimenting facial features.

The Damme eyeglasses have their corners blacked out to emphasize the eyebrows. The frame is square, an excellent fit for an oval or round face.

[product handle="damme-eyeglasses"]

 

 

Women with narrow faces could opt for a more rectangular shape, such as Prince Eyeglasses, the clear rectangular eyeglasses.

 

 

[product handle="prince-eyeglasses"]

 

This clear frame has a straight browline and a rectangular shape that makes it a tremendous optical frame for women looking for practicality and style.

 

Suggested Face Shape

 

The square and clear rectangular frames go best with oval and round faces because it flattens the features and balances the look. Because the frame is clear, it will contrast beautifully with darker skin tones.
