Celebrate International Cat Day With Fashion

by Dana Reszutek

Though every weekend is a call for celebration, there's something a little more special about Saturday, Aug. 8. That's right, it's International Cat Day! Take some time out of your busy schedule of brunching and Netflixing and cuddle with one of woman's best friends. And why not take your cat appreciation a step further by dressing the part? There's plenty of cat-themed fashion out there.

Even though we all know that cat lovers treat every day like it's International Cat Day, this is the perfect excuse to tap into some feline style inspiration when planning your outfit. Many already take nods from their furry friends in their everyday looks. Just consider cat eye liner and sunglasses, which are both go-tos for so many women. You definitely have your cat's ancestors to thank for that purrfect going-out beauty look.
