August 8th is International Cat Day: Celebrate Style (and your fur baby) with a Cat Eye Twist
Cat Eye Frames for the Independent at Heart
If there’s one thing Australian cat owners know, it’s this: dogs have masters, but cats have servants. And honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Cats move through the world with a kind of effortless confidence — a little mysterious, a little mischievous, and entirely themselves.
This International Cat Day (8 August), we’re celebrating that independent streak with one of eyewear’s most iconic silhouettes: the cat‑eye frame shape. Elegant, expressive, and unmistakably bold, cat‑eye glasses have been a favourite for decades, and for good reason. They lift and accentuate facial features such as cheekbones and brow lines, and add plenty of attitude to your style.
At Optical Superstore, we’ve curated four standout cat‑eye frame choices that capture everything we love about our feline friends: personality, poise, and a flair for doing things their own way.
1. Radley London 6020 — Soft, Artistic, and Unapologetically Unique
The Radley 6020 brings a fresh twist to the cat‑eye family. Noble purple takes centre stage, with a slightly translucent plastic finish that feels light and modern. What makes this frame truly special is the unexpected bloom of green that sweeps across the corners and temples — a lush, garden‑inspired detail that adds depth and charm.
It’s a perfect match for wearers who love colour, creativity, and a frame that doesn’t shy away from making a statement.

2. Prive Revaux “The Veronica” — Modern, Confident, and Camera Ready
If you love a frame that feels polished yet playful, The Veronica is your go‑to. Available in clear, rose, and tort, this full‑rim plastic cat‑eye offers a crisp, lifted silhouette that flatters almost every face shape.
It’s the kind of frame that looks equally at home in the office, at brunch, or curled up with a book while your cat pretends not to judge your reading choices.

Why Cat Eye Frames Suit So Many Wearers
Cat‑eye frames are one of the most universally flattering shapes. Their upward sweep lifts the cheekbones, brightens the eyes, and adds instant character. Whether you prefer soft curves, sharp angles, translucent finishes, or bold colours, there’s bound to be a cat‑eye frame that fits your personality or gives you the push to step into the persona you’ve always wanted to own.
And just like cats, they’re versatile — playful one moment, elegant the next.

Whether you’re a lifelong cat lover or simply someone who appreciates a frame with attitude, cat‑eye glasses can bring a little spark and style refresh to your everyday eyewear needs. Visit your nearest Optical Superstore to try these frames on in person, or explore the full cat‑eye range online.
