Ray Ban Wayfarer – A Fashion Statement


I was a child of the 80’s and I grew up watching TV shows like Miami Vice, Moonlighting and The Breakfast Club. I love to listen to Corey Hart’s “Sunglasses at Night”.  What is my point? Well, this is perhaps the best way to introduce to you the iconic sunglasses of that decade, the Ray Ban Wayfarer. Aha, maybe I have piqued your interest a little? Oh, you cannot relate to the TV shows I mentioned because you were born in the 1990s. Ok, how about Katy Perry and Bruno Mars, are they familiar enough for you? Oh, wait, hold your breath…. Edward Cullen of Twilight! Stop! Stop the screaming already! Yes, he was wearing the Ray Ban Wayfarer in that movie. Vampires are afraid of sunlight after all.

Ray Ban Sunglasses

Ray Ban sunglasses are already being sold long before you and I are born. Yeah, that’s right, Ray Bans actually started in the 1950s. Even though their sales declined from time to time they still make to come back every time. The strongest comeback happened during the 1980s. The Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses are popular among the stars like Tom Cruise. Famous musicians like Madonna and Michael Jackson were seen sporting the Ray Ban wayfarer eyeglasses. Maybe the closest competitor of the wayfarer sunglasses in terms of popularity is the aviator which is also manufactured by Ray Ban sunglasses.

The Popularity of Ray Ban Wayfarers

Ray Ban Wayfarer Sizes
You are wondering why I am bringing up the subject about this brand of sunglasses. I particularly like this brand of sunglasses. I own a Ray Ban Wayfarer original. This is a staple to my fashion wardrobe since the day I discovered it. Never mind when I discovered it, the most important thing is it is making its come back. It is popular again. I think what makes it very popular is because of the wayfarer’s distinct shape. The Ray Ban Wayfarer distinct shape is paired with the traditional Ray Ban signature logo on the sculpted temples. Since artists and musicians are known for their individuality and style, the Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses have contemporary color palette. This allows the wearer to express their own style and personality with the distinct look. History and fresh colorful updates have made the Wayfarer Original a symbol of youth, fashion and creativity for 50 years.

Ray Ban Wayfarer Styles

There are many different styles in the Ray Ban Wayfarers collection. You can choose style that best suits your personality and taste. The most classic of the Wayfarer style is RB2140. It comes in three lens sizes. These are 50 MM or small to medium, 54 MM or medium to large and the newest size 47 mm or very small to small.
The RB 2132 is the new Ray Ban Wayfarer. Unlike the 2140, these sit straight on your face and do not have a square of a look. This shape may fit more face shapes better that the RB2140. Their lens sizes are 52 mm or small and 55 mm or large.
Then there are the RB2151. They are not as popular as the first two Ray Ban Wayfarers sunglasses but it is still a great style.
What makes more excited right now is that Ray Ban Wayfarer has a collection of rare prints. This is not the usual Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses. This special fashion eyewear has a combination of colorful patterns with the original design. The rare prints are Typadelic and Blocks. They come in a variety of colors reminiscent of the 80’s. Isn’t this enough to make you excited about owning a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses?

So, you are saying that it is way beyond your budget. Wait! There is a solution to that. I saw that there is Ray Ban Wayfarer Sale on going and the prices are really low. The original price I saw of Wayfarer sunglasses is $145.00 but it is now being sold at $99.00. That is good news right?! What are you waiting for; let’s go shopping for Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses now.
The Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses sure had its ups and downs. It became popular in the late 1950s then its popularity waned. It was popular again in the 1980s thanks mainly to the famous people who enjoyed using them. Then in the late 2000, it made its presence known again thanks to the marketing strategy of Ray Ban with edgy ad campaigns and high profile PR events. Ray Ban Wayfarers are now considered a must-have fashion accessory. The Ray Ban Wayfarers sunglasses are a staple for a collector or a Ray Ban enthusiast. What makes a Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses stand the test of time? It’s probably because of the timeless style. It can be worn with different sets of clothes, be it casual or formal. I am just happy that Ray Ban Wayfarer is here to stay.
