Actress and social media mogul Shay Mitchell recently teamed up with fashion brand [Quay Eyeware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quays-optical-line) to create a line of celebrity sunglasses inspired by her vintage and eclectic fashion sense. The sunglasses opt for an antiquated cat eye style that is modernized through the use of gilded mirrored frames.

Mitchell has made her name both as an on-screen presence, but also as a fashion expert through her social media accounts such as [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Cross-platform-search-analytics) where she posts daily outfits and makeup looks. The Shay Mitchell x Quay Eyeware line speaks to Mitchell's personal [vintage fashion influences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-x-jimmy-fairly) with a hip cat eye style and contemporary mirrored golden lenses coupled with a thick white frame. The glasses are ideal for warm weather as the white hue simultaneously accentuates tanned skin.
