Design Overview
This optical frame offers a streamlined interpretation of the cat-eye, combining a gently upswept brow with softened rectangular lenses for a look that feels sophisticated rather than overtly retro. Its restrained proportions make the shape highly wearable, while subtle sculpting gives the frame enough personality to stand apart from a conventional everyday optical.
- Frame Type: Soft rectangular cat-eye with gently lifted outer corners, a flowing brow line, and subtly rounded lower edges.
- Materials: Sculpted acetate construction with polished surfaces and carefully controlled thickness for a refined, dimensional appearance.
- Details: The brow rises gradually toward the temples while dipping softly at the bridge, creating an elegant sense of movement across the front. Subtle beveling around the eyewires and tapered endpieces keep the design crisp without appearing heavy.
Fit & Comfort
- The moderate lens width and relatively shallow lens depth make this especially suitable for small-to-medium and medium face shapes, particularly for someone who prefers a more tailored optical fit.
- The gentle upsweep provides a flattering lifting effect, while the softened rectangular lenses add definition without the severity of a sharply angular cat-eye.
- Its practical lens proportions work especially well for single-vision prescriptions and can accommodate many progressive designs, depending on the frame’s actual fitting height and the wearer’s measurements.
Perfect for
- Someone looking for an understated cat-eye that can function as an everyday signature frame—feminine and distinctive without feeling overly dramatic or trend-driven.
- Particularly well suited to professional, minimalist, contemporary, and smart-casual wardrobes, where its clean silhouette can transition easily between work and everyday wear.
- An excellent candidate for premium clear lenses, subtle photochromics, or Hi-Vex lenses, creating a lightweight and durable prescription pairing while allowing the sculptural shape of the frame to remain the focus.

Find Your Fit
Frame Sizing Isn't What it Seems:
Let me throw a wrench to everything you might think you know about finding the right "size" glasses. While many people think a couple of simple numbers can determine the needed frame size, more often that not, that's just not the case. The numbers I'm referring to are the A or Eye size (Lens width), and the DBL or Bridge size (distance between the two lenses). While these numbers can be helpful guidelines, not all frames with the same numbers will fit the same way. Just like your clothes don't all fit exactly the same even with the same waist measure, neither do all frames.
Why Don't The Numbers Tell Me the Right Size?
This is a great question, and comes down to the wide array of materials used to make the frames! The distance from the edge of the lens to where the temple (arms, bows, whatever you want to call them) go back to the head and thickness of the temples themselves are just a couple of the factors. Add in different bridge designs with the same width and totally different fits and construction, and things get hairy quickly!
So, How Can I Even Figure Out What To Buy?
Pay close attention to the actual construction of the frame. Opticians know these tricks well and our staff is happy to assist if needed, just send us a picture, and what it is you personally want out of your next eyewear function and style wise. For a guideline for yourself though, look at the material thickness from the outer lens to the edge, this can be just one or two millimeters, on up to several or as much as ten or more millimeters in the cases of some specialty designs for high prescriptions! Next pay attention to the thickness of the material in the bridge, and the way it tapers. These subtle cues can give you a great impression of how the frame will fit on you with just a little visualization!
Does a Frame Always Need to Fit Perfectly?
Contrary to the optical worlds opinion, NO. You don't need perfect central alignment, or frames exactly the width of your head. What you do need, are certain lines to flow well with your face, colors that work for your complexion and wardrobe, and knowing whether you want to have a look that is bold and oversized, or small petite and minimal, or any combination of the two. There is a fine line between oversized and TOO BIG, so do dredge into this area with caution. This is where we come in, if you're not sure, let us help!
What if I Like Really Different?
Welcome to the party, you're one of us.

Frames built for the world of high fashion are some of our favorites, and personally our staff rocks some of the wildest things out there! Whether you like the basics, or something as wild as a rimless with dragon shaped lenses, we're not judging!
