How to Style Cat-eye Glasses for Different Occasions?
Head Marketing and Communications
When it comes to dressing up, I like to put a lot of thought into the kind of event I am off to. My biggest nightmare is showing up to a party and realising I'm the only one dressed completely different from everyone else. And since I wear glasses, I have one more thing to take care of. I have to find the right outfit and then select glasses to go with it. Sounds fun, right? Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not. But time has taught me the art of styling (or so I believe).
While most women know what to wear to different events, not many of us understand which frames work for which occasion. Since cat-eye glasses are a staple in every woman’s wardrobe, I thought, why not start with this popular style? Here are the many ways your cat-eye frames work in different events.
Cat-eye Glasses as Per Occasion
The classic eyewear style has come a long way since your granny’s glasses. Today, you can find prescription cat-eye glasses in both subtle and striking styles. If you are looking to add a vintage flair to your look, here are the different ways to style cat-eye glasses for different occasions.
Cat-eye glasses for cocktail parties
Cocktail parties are fancy events where you often go for blingy outfits. It could be a social affair or just a couple of friends gathered around for some drinks and appetisers.
If you ask me, then sticking to a little black dress is the way to do the evening right. To complement the same, chic 50s style cat-eye glasses with sharper wings will enhance your look.
If the party is taking place after your office hours, it will look great with a sleek blazer and tailored trousers as well.
You can also choose a body-hugging dress with a decent hemline that doesn’t show too much skin, if you have a chic and elegant vibe.
Complete your look with matching accessories and bold lips. Also, carry a clutch to keep your important things in it.
Cat-eye glasses for weddings
At a wedding, you want to look fun, striking, but still appropriate. However, you might not want to dress in something too flashy as you may steal the shine from the newlyweds.
For a daytime ceremony, stick to light colours and fabrics, and complete your elegant look with a soft pink crystal frame.
Go for soft colour-toned cat-eye glasses to complement your below-the-knee dresses and gowns, as they will beautifully enhance your overall look.
An evening wedding ceremony gives you the freedom to experiment with different hues. Going for a coordinating pantsuit in lilac to keep things a little formal? Choose tortoiseshell pattern cat-eye glasses to look eye-catching but less obvious (or it will hurt the bride’s feelings). I tell you, this finishing touch may even get you the title of the best-dressed guest.
Pro tip: Skip those strappy stilettos and go for formal flats or wedges if the wedding is taking place in an open field. It’s hard to walk on grass with pointy heels (speaking from experience).
Cat-eye glasses for a dinner party
Different types of dinner parties need different styles and attire. With the right outfit and accessory, you can be the life of the party.
You don’t have to overdo things to catch attention. Sometimes, subtleness is damn sexy. For a posh dinner party, pick up a jumpsuit in your favourite nude colour and glam it up with this transparent frame.
For an uber classy appeal, start with a satin top and wide-legged pants in a solid colour. To make sure that your aura doesn’t intimidate people, add a softer appeal with see-through cat-eye glasses.
For a super cosy and warm look, especially when you are the hostess of the dinner party, keep things sophisticated with a short white dress, metallic stilettos and tortoiseshell cat-eye frames. Keep your jewellery to a minimum and go easy on the makeup.
Cat-eye Glasses for an Interview
Glasses have a way of making you appear more intellectual and smart - some qualities that get you your dream job. No wonder most people wear glasses to interviews.
Who said that you only need to wear rectangular specs to score a job interview? A black cat-eye frame can get the job done better than any other conventional frame. With its modest cat-eye style, you’ll look polished yet chic and ladylike. Pair it up with a tailored suit and pumps, and you are ready to make a good first impression.
Rimless is the perfect style for a more mature and serious look. While the frameless silhouette keeps attention on your facial expressions and gestures, the temples painted in hue add a refreshing touch to your outfit. Stay away from jangly jewellery because sometimes, less is more.
Cat-eye Glasses for a Romantic Date
Whether going for lunch or grabbing dinner with someone special, dressing up for a date has another level of adrenaline rush. Underdressing for the special day may make the other person feel like you are not into it. At the same time, overdressing will make you come off too strong or eager. And you certainly don’t want to scare the guy away, do you?
For a sassy look, take a pair of blue bell-bottom jeans with a nice tucked-in white shirt. Add elements of elegance with a pair of high heels and a fierce cat-eye frame. The bold shape gives you confidence while the metallic finish lets you flaunt your soft side. And if your eyes are your best feature, this frame will bring out their beauty like nothing else.
A transparent frame is perfect when you want an effortlessly put-together look. Whether you wear a dark suit or a floral pleated skirt, the glossier finish of a clear frame will hold his attention. From all your candlelight dinners to sassy bar meetups, this transparent beauty will work like a charm.
