Butterfly Sunglasses: The Iconic “Cat Eye” Look

Much more than just an accessory, butterfly sunglasses are a true style statement. Instantly recognizable thanks to their lines that taper toward the temples, they frame the face and instantly add character. While they’re still associated with the elegance of the 1950s and movie icons, they’ve successfully reinvented themselves to become a decidedly modern accessory today.

This must-have shape is now available in a variety of styles to suit every taste. Those seeking a bold look will prefer thick acetate frames that feature generous proportions and defined lines. Conversely, for a more ethereal or avant-garde look, models with delicate metal frames or deconstructed geometric angles transform the glasses into a piece of designer jewelry.

Whether you’re aiming for timeless elegance or originality, our selection covers every nuance of this style. Here you’ll find the perfect pair, combining this distinctive aesthetic with high-quality sun protection. And if you’d like to explore other eyeglass frame shapes to stand out, our unique women’s sunglasses feature even more unconventional designs.

What face shape suits the butterfly style?

The butterfly shape has a rare advantage: it flatters nearly every face shape thanks to its unique geometry, which draws the eye upward. It’s the ideal choice for round or oval faces, as the upward-sloping lines break up the roundness and add structure to the features, offering a much-appreciated natural “lifting effect” that energizes your expression.

If you have a face with more angular features, such as a square or rectangular shape, this style is just as suitable. The soft curves and rounded edges often found at the bottom of the frame will soften the jawline and harmonize the overall look. Finally, for triangular faces, the width added to the upper part of the frame helps restore perfect balance with the lower part of the face.

No matter what your face shape is, these eyeglass frames have the ability to make your eyes appear more open. Just make sure the width of the frames doesn’t exceed that of your temples to maintain perfect harmony.

Céline, Loewe, Prada, SAINT LAURENT... The biggest brands are here

Choosing a pair of butterfly-shaped glasses is often an opportunity to step into the world of a leading designer. At Mymonture, we’ve brought together the most prestigious fashion houses to offer you a selection worthy of the finest boutiques. You’ll find Loewe’s creative boldness, Céline’s chic minimalism, Prada’s iconic sophistication, and Saint Laurent’s rock-chic elegance. These luxury brands compete in creativity to reinterpret this legendary shape, using thick acetate frames and logos crafted like fine jewelry.

Because style shouldn’t be a matter of price, our catalog also features more affordable brands. Brands like Vogue Eyewear, Ray-Ban, Tom Ford, and BA&SH offer very contemporary takes on the cat-eye shape, combining refined design with affordable prices. Whatever your preference, you’re guaranteed to receive an authentic pair of frames, delivered with their original case and certificates.
