For the past several years, the sunglass trend subjected many of us to the Jackie O look of hiding our faces with bug-eyed monoliths made of plastic. We paid our homage to one of the classiest First Ladies in recent history, but it's time to move on to the next phase of eyewear, an updated and contemporary take on the 1950s cat eye sunglasses. Seen here are two Hollywood "celebrities," Kourtney Kardashian and Nicole Richie, sporting the already growing fashion fad sweeping the runways, department stores, and our grateful faces. The catty frames are reminiscent of the decade that brought us Elvis, chrome diners and James Dean, but without the inconvenience of a black-and-white-only TV. Below are both designer and affordable collections of the new cat's meow...

"The retro-glam shape screams 1950s chic, but more importantly, the upswept sides of a cat eye shape emphasize your cheek bones and help add some definition to your face."
