Ray-Ban Wayfarer II

If you're not familiar with this classic Ray-Ban style, the Wayfarer II is the fifth incarnation despite its name. There's also the Original Wayfarer, the New Wayfarer, the Wayfarer Ease, and the Folding Wayfarer. And for good reason—along with the Aviator that cemented Ray-Ban's place in the sunglasses industry, the Wayfarer has remained one of the most iconic sunglasses since its introduction in 1952. Let's take a closer look at what makes this style so special.

Wayfarer II Features:

  • Round Shape: Compared to the trapezoidal, more angular shape of the Original Wayfarer and the rectangular New Wayfarer, the Wayfarer II has a rounder shape and a slight upward swoop to the top frame. Despite these changes, the Wayfarer II still looks good on pretty much anyone. Don't much like the original on you? Give the Wayfarer II a shot!
  • Slim Temples: The Original Wayfarer has thick, sturdy temples, while the II slimmed them down for a softer look. In terms of weight, they're a bit lighter than the OG but the difference isn't obvious. In this case, it's more about the style than the impact it'll have on the weight.
  • Polarized Lenses: These just became your new favorite driving sunglasses. Available with Ray-Ban's classic G-15 lenses, the optional polarized filter blocks glare—now you can enjoy every second of that beautiful sunset. Learn more about polarized lenses here.
  • Asian Fit: Like the Original Wayfarer, the Wayfarer II is available in Asian Fit. If you're no stranger to glasses sliding down your face, touching your cheeks, or fitting poorly in general, give the Asian Fit a try.
  • Eyeglasses: If you like the style of the Wayfarer II but need regular glasses over sunglasses, these are also available with clear lenses! You can rock this classic look indoors and out. Click here to get started.
