They were loved centuries ago and they’re loved today. Eyeglasses and sunglasses enthusiasts alike appear to have a love affair with round frames that never grows old.
Circular frames and lenses tend to evoke an aura of intellectualism or conjure the nostalgic vintage vibe of the 1960s. To add to their timelessness, round glasses tend to look great in a variety of styles and frame materials—from rimless, to thin wire frame to a chunkier acetate.
Cat-eye glasses were born in the 1930s (though they had yet to labeled as such). Altina Schinasi, the inventor of the popular frame, explains in her documentary Altina how she first came to the idea.

Schinasi had noticed how boring all glasses were as if most frames hadn’t improved from the time of Benjamin Franklin. She asked herself, “What would look good on a face?” Her answer: a Harlequin mask. And so the “Harlequin glasses” were born.
