If you think there’s nothing new about cat-eye sunglasses, think again. Sure, the style has been around forever, but just because it’s a classic doesn’t mean it’s safe from the ever-changing cycle of fashion trends. Just like other items, it’s constantly being updated with new colors, materials, and even shapes, so while you may think you’ve seen all there is to see of the cat eye, we guarantee we’ve got something you missed.

Shop our roundup of the coolest cat-eye sunglasses for the season ahead, with picks for every style type (from classic to ultra-trendy) and every budget.
