Wayfarers were designed in 1952 by American optical designer Raymond Stegeman, [4] [5] [6] who worked for Bausch & Lomb, Ray-Ban's parent company at that time. [7] The design was inspired by, "a mid-century classic to rival Eames chairs and Cadillac tail fins." [5] According to design critic Stephen Bayley, the "distinctive trapezoidal frame spoke a non-verbal language that hinted at unstable dangerousness, but one nicely tempered by the sturdy arms which, according to the advertising, gave the frames a 'masculine look'." [5] The sunglasses also featured a new plastic molding technology.

What we mean by that is, the bigger the size, the less tilt in the lens. So, from the smallest size 52 (52mm width lens) you get a shorter lens. One more reminiscent of the Original 2140. But more importantly, you get more of a tilt too. The New Wayfarer is, as the name suggests, the newer, younger brother of the Wayfarer. It looks similar but has a more modern feel and approach. Mainly, the traditional tilt is less. It also boasts more sizes than its older brother. We’re here to try to help you out as much as possible with the pesky sizes of Wayfarers.

No doubt you’re here after thinking, “I’d love a pair of those Wayfarers” and then seeing there are different sizes. Who knew? Sunglasses are usually just one size. You walk into a shop and you put them on your face. It isn’t like going to a clothes shop where you sift through the different sizes on the rail to try on. There is a 47 size for the Wayfarer. This is very rare to find and is usually sold by special request. As you can probably guess already, this is a small size and fits the smallest of adult faces. If you’re unsure on your size, we would say go with the 50 and see how that fits first. If you’re used to just being able to pop any pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses on your face, then the 50 will fit 9 times out of 10. Ray-Ban New Wayfarer Sizes Passariello, Christina.
