Wayfarer sunglasses are easy to recognize by their bold, slightly angular rim and signature lens shape, a silhouette that has stayed a wardrobe staple for decades. At SmartBuyGlasses, Ray-Ban®'s Original and New Wayfarer sit alongside other stocked styles built on a similar frame, with sizing and lens options that vary from model to model. Before choosing a pair, it is worth comparing exact models side by side rather than ordering by name alone.
Compare Wayfarer-Style Frames and Sizes
The Ray-Ban RB2140 Original Wayfarer keeps the style's bold, thick rim, built in a 50mm to 54mm frame with a lens height of 41mm to 47.2mm, a 150mm temple length and an 18mm to 22mm bridge, and comes in four frame-and-lens color combinations.
The Ray-Ban RB2132 New Wayfarer softens that same outline into a smaller, more streamlined shape, available in three frame sizes (52mm, 55mm and 58mm) and eleven frame-and-lens color combinations, giving more scope to match an existing pair's fit.
For a sportier, more durable option, the Ray-Ban RB3875 Wayfarer Deluxe Polarized is built in metal with a sandblasted legend gold frame, adjustable nose pads and a dark blue polarized lens, sized at 56mm wide and 42mm high, with a 141mm temple length.
Comparing frame width, lens height and temple length against a pair you already wear is the most reliable way to judge fit before buying; check the exact dimensions and full color range on each product page.
Choose the Lens Variant
Lens choice matters as much as frame shape. The RB3875 Wayfarer Deluxe Polarized comes with a dark blue polarized lens, which cuts glare more effectively than a standard tinted lens for driving or in bright daylight. The RB2140 Original Wayfarer and RB2132 New Wayfarer are each available across several lens color options as part of their frame-and-lens combinations, with tint, lens material and polarization varying by exact colorway. Check the specific combination on the product page to confirm whether a lens is polarized and what UV protection it carries, since these are separate specifications from the tint itself.
Who Wayfarer-Style Sunglasses Suit
Wayfarer-style frames pair a stronger, more angular rim with softer facial features, which is part of why the shape works across a wide range of face types rather than suiting one in particular. Rim height and documented frame width are more useful guides than face shape alone: the Original Wayfarer's bolder proportions sit differently from the New Wayfarer's slimmer build or the Wayfarer Deluxe's larger, sportier fit. Comparing frame width and temple length against a pair of sunglasses or glasses that already fits well is the simplest way to narrow it down, and SmartBuyGlasses' virtual try-on tool lets you preview a style on your own face before ordering, and the size guide covers how to measure.
