The story behind the frame
Small, round wire frames have existed since the 19th century, but the 1960s turned them into a symbol of counterculture. Musicians, especially John Lennon, made the circular lens a signature look that still reads as creative and nonconformist.
The RB3447 is Ray-Ban's modern version of that style, with a thin metal frame, keyhole bridge, and adjustable nose pads. Round frames soften angular features, which is why we recommend them for square faces. Read more in our history of sunglasses.
