The oversized cat-eye sunglasses trend, and why Piper leads it

The cat-eye silhouette has been a go-to for decades, but the oversized version is having a real moment. As proven by thousands of customers over 6 years, and the sales aren't slowing. In fact, the Piper Tort effect is just getting bigger. Bigger lenses mean more sun coverage, less squinting, and a bolder look that works just as well with a linen shirt and jeans as it does with a slip dress. The Piper Tort takes that classic silhouette and softens it into something wearable every day. Not costume, not statement-y, just beautifully, quietly confident.

The Piper Tort is our regular-size cat-eye. If you love the cat-eye look but want a different colour, the Piper family also comes in Black, Purple, and Shimmer.
