The story behind the frame
The New Wayfarer is Ray-Ban's modern refinement of its 1952 icon. It keeps the trapezoidal shape and G-15 lenses but uses a slightly smaller, flatter front that sits closer to the face, removing the steep forward tilt that some wearers find awkward.
If the original RB2140 touches your cheeks or feels too dramatic, this is the version to try. Learn how the shape became a classic in our history of the wayfarer.
