The Development Of The Eyewear : Upswept Sunwear

Posted on December 13, 2016

We have seen the cat-eye take on some very dramatic looks over the last several years . The upsweep is akin to the raised eyebrow, the look of surprise? The look can be layered over a round frame or a square frame or even another cat-eye.

Is this look new? The Harlequin look came in the 1940’s- 50’s. We see the first upsweep n the late 1940’s early 50’s with a the Sol Amor Sunglass. Note the upsweep over the the eye wire.
