Our take on the New Wayfarer

The Ray-Ban New Wayfarer is the classic Wayfarer shape reworked with a slightly smaller frame and a softer eye shape. It keeps the thick acetate front and metal hinge details that made the original a staple. It suits adults who find the original Wayfarer too wide or too angular, and it competes with the original Wayfarer and similar acetate frames from Persol and Oakley. Owners like the lighter, less boxy fit; some say the smaller lens gives less coverage in bright sun.
