The 1950s women's glasses are party glasses with a white cat-eye frame covered in small black dots and dark lenses, with the outer corners angled upwards. That upturned shape immediately evokes the rock 'n' roll era, with petticoats, hair scarves and red lips by the jukebox. Wear these polka-dot glasses to a 1950s party, and they'll look just as good at a disco party.
What do these polka-dot cat-eye glasses look like?
The 1950s women's glasses have a glossy white frame with a regular pattern of black dots, combined with dark, oval lenses.
- The white frame is printed with small black dots that extend to the beginning of the temples.
- The outer corners angle upwards, creating the recognizable cat-eye shape.
- The lenses are dark-tinted and narrow and oval, tapering towards the temples.
- The frame is made of polycarbonate and PMMA.
- The glasses are designed for women, and you will receive only the glasses themselves.
The cat-eye shape as an icon of the rock 'n' roll era
Frames with upturned corners became a staple of women's fashion in the 1950s, worn both as reading glasses and sunglasses. Polka dots were also everywhere during the same period, on swing dresses, blouses and hair scarves. By combining the two, polka-dot cat-eye glasses instantly show which decade you are channeling, even if the rest of your outfit is simple.
Red lips and pearls to complement the polka-dot glasses
Bright red lipstick and a little eyeliner with a small wing follow the same line as the corners of the frame. Tie a black-and-white hair scarf or headband around your head to echo the glasses' polka-dot pattern. A pearl necklace, pearl bracelet or pearl earrings complete the retro look, while long red gloves add an extra pop of colour.
