Just because our hot summer weather will soon be but a distant memory, doesn’t mean we should be packing up those sunnies just yet. Despite the cooler air, fall is a notoriously sunny season. My mind drifts to sunny weekend strolls in the park drinking pumpkin lattes while wearing a new cozy sweater. The only thing to make this picture a bit chicer is a pair of this season’s trendy frame…the cat eye.
one: DSquared tortoise cat eye $199
two: green Lacoste cat eye $139
three: red Balenciaga cat eye $159

The cat eye sunny was on many a runway for the fall/winter 2013 collections at New York Fashion Week. While brilliant, albeit kooky, designers tend to stretch a look to the extreme, there are very wearable versions of the cat eye out there for the average fashionista. The frame you choose can be a subtle nod to this trend…like the Lacoste ones I featured above. With just a slight extension to the corner of the frames, you get the fullness this more classic design offers with just a hint of meow.
Accessories are meant to be fun so feel free to add some colour to your specs. Emerald greens and ruby reds are hot hues for fall. If you’re like me and often opt for classic tones in your wardrobe, this is a great way to add just a pop of colour. Think of a matching lady-like green bag, or a sexy rouge pout for your red specs. Either way, just have fun with it.
What shades will you be rocking this Fall? Are you classic Jackie O kind of gal? Will you take your styling cues from Jen Aniston with a pair of sexy aviators? or Will you channel your inner Audrey Hepburn for a 1950’s cat eye throwback?
