Main Differences Between New & Original Wayfarer The Three Ray-Ban Wayfarer sizes are 52, 55 and 58. 55 is a standard fit and will fit most faces. 58 is much larger. Finally, the size 52 is the smallest size available. This is for those smaller faces. New Wayfarer vs. Original Wayfarer review compares the two most popular Ray-Ban Wayfarers of all time. New Wayfarer – also known as Ray-Ban RB2132 & classic Original Wayfarer – identified by model name Ray-Ban RB2140. They have a similar style, but strictly speaking, they differ in some respects.

If you’re looking at a pair in person, say in a shop, you can see the size by looking at the code on the inside left arm (temple). This is split up in different sections. For a Ray-Ban Wayfarer, you’ll see 2140 as the first 4 numbers, the New Wayfarer will be 2132. This is the model code. Original and New Wayfarer sizes are usually expressed in brief form. Here are the two most common examples:

Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses have been produced by Ray-Ban already in seven decades and probably never go out of style. They are cited as the best-selling design sunglasses along with other fashion icon Ray-Ban Aviators. Most Wayfarer styles are unisex, so they are suitable for men and women. No doubt you’re here after thinking, “I’d love a pair of those Wayfarers” and then seeing there are different sizes. Who knew? Sunglasses are usually just one size. You walk into a shop and you put them on your face. It isn’t like going to a clothes shop where you sift through the different sizes on the rail to try on. There is a 47 size for the Wayfarer. This is very rare to find and is usually sold by special request. As you can probably guess already, this is a small size and fits the smallest of adult faces. If you’re unsure on your size, we would say go with the 50 and see how that fits first. If you’re used to just being able to pop any pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses on your face, then the 50 will fit 9 times out of 10. Ray-Ban New Wayfarer SizesThe New Wayfarer is, as the name suggests, the newer, younger brother of the Wayfarer. It looks similar but has a more modern feel and approach. Mainly, the traditional tilt is less. It also boasts more sizes than its older brother. The biggest thing to note when buying a different size in a New Wayfarer is the design change over the sizes. What we mean by that is, the bigger the size, the less tilt in the lens. So, from the smallest size 52 (52mm width lens) you get a shorter lens. One more reminiscent of the Original 2140. But more importantly, you get more of a tilt too.
