The Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 sunglasses in 58mm represent the evolution of an icon. When Ray-Ban introduced the Original Wayfarer in 1952, it became a cultural phenomenon worn by James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, and Bob Dylan. The New Wayfarer takes that legendary square shape and refines it for modern comfort—eliminating the forward-leaning pantoscopic tilt of the original while keeping the bold, unmistakable silhouette that's defined cool for seven decades.
The 58mm Fit: Built for Bigger Faces
The 58mm lens width is the largest size in the New Wayfarer lineup, designed for those who need more coverage or prefer a bolder look. The lens measures approximately 58mm wide by 43mm tall, with an 18mm bridge and 145mm temples. This size works particularly well for men with larger or wider faces, though plenty of women who love oversized frames choose the 58mm as well. The acetate frame sits upright on your face rather than tilting forward, which means less pressure on your cheeks and better sun protection from the sides.
Available in 22 color combinations—from the classic Black with Crystal Green G-15 lenses (901) to Havana Tortoise with polarized options and even matte rubber finishes—the RB2132 offers serious versatility. The iconic metal rivets at the hinges and the Ray-Ban signature on the temples confirm you're wearing the real thing. These frames are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and turn them into everyday sunglasses that actually correct your vision.
What Makes the New Wayfarer Different
Compared to the Original Wayfarer (RB2140), the New Wayfarer has a slightly smaller overall footprint and softer, more rounded edges. The key difference is comfort: no pantoscopic tilt means the frames don't dig into your cheeks during long wear. The construction uses injection-molded acetate that's lighter than the Original but still durable enough for daily use. Some owners note the hinges aren't as heavy-duty as vintage Ray-Bans, but the trade-off is a frame that won't weigh down your face.
100% UV protection comes standard across all lens options. Polarized versions cut glare from water, snow, and pavement—a real advantage if you're driving or spending time outdoors. The G-15 green lenses preserve natural color perception while the B-15 brown lenses boost contrast in variable light.
"One of the most comfortable frames I've worn in awhile." — eBay verified buyer
Whether you're replacing a worn pair or discovering the Wayfarer shape for the first time, the RB2132 in 58mm delivers that classic Ray-Ban look with a fit that works for real life. Includes a protective case and cleaning cloth.

Ray Ban New Wayfarer 2132 Sunglasses - Large - 58mm
Very happy with my new Ray Bans, and Designer Optics is easy to work with. Great price!
So far so good, and better than my last pair I purchased from you.
I ordered Rayban sunglasses size 55 which turned out to be too small. I returned them and got size 58. The glasses are fine but I am most impressed with how smoothly Designer Optics handled the return and replacement. When I was going to be out of town they even held the order until I returned.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 58mm, 55mm, and 52mm New Wayfarer sizes?
The 58mm is the largest size with the tallest lens height (approximately 43mm), making it ideal for bigger faces or those who want maximum coverage. The 55mm is the standard fit that works for most adults, while the 52mm is the smallest option, better suited for narrower faces or those who prefer a more compact look. All three sizes share the same 18mm bridge and 145mm temple length.
Can I get prescription lenses in the Ray-Ban New Wayfarer 2132?
Yes, the New Wayfarer RB2132 is fully prescription-ready. The frames accept single vision, progressive, and bifocal lenses. You can choose from standard plastic, polycarbonate, or even authentic Ray-Ban prescription lenses in various tints and polarized options. The 6-base curve makes them compatible with most prescription ranges.
How does the New Wayfarer 2132 differ from the Original Wayfarer 2140?
The New Wayfarer (RB2132) eliminates the pantoscopic tilt found on the Original Wayfarer (RB2140), meaning the frames sit more upright on your face for better comfort and less cheek pressure. The New Wayfarer also has a slightly softer, more rounded shape and is generally lighter in weight. It comes in three sizes (52mm, 55mm, 58mm) versus the Original's two sizes (50mm, 54mm).
Do the New Wayfarer sunglasses provide UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 sunglasses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection (UV400) regardless of lens color or whether they're polarized. This blocks harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage your eyes over time. Polarized versions add glare reduction on top of the UV protection.
Are the New Wayfarer frames unisex?
Yes, the Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 is designed as a unisex frame suitable for both men and women. The 58mm size tends to be more popular with men or those who prefer larger frames, while the 52mm and 55mm sizes are chosen by a wider range of face sizes and genders. The key is finding the size that fits your face proportions.
What material are the New Wayfarer frames made from?
The Ray-Ban New Wayfarer RB2132 frames are made from injection-molded acetate (also called nylon or propionate), which is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and durable. Some color options feature a matte rubber finish for added grip and a contemporary look. The hinges are metal with the signature Ray-Ban rivets, though they're lighter-duty than the vintage Original Wayfarer construction.

New Wayfarer 58mm vs 55mm: Which Size Is Right for You?
The most common question we hear is whether to choose the 58mm or 55mm New Wayfarer. The 55mm is the standard size that fits most adults comfortably—it's the safe choice if you're unsure. The 58mm offers about 2-3mm more lens height and width, which translates to noticeably more coverage and a bolder appearance. If you have a wider face (temple-to-temple distance over 5 inches), bigger features, or simply prefer oversized sunglasses, the 58mm is your best bet. The 55mm works better for medium faces and those who want a balanced look that isn't too dominant.
New Wayfarer vs Justin: Classic or Contemporary?
The Ray-Ban Justin 4165 is essentially a modern reinterpretation of the Wayfarer with a few key differences. The Justin features a matte rubberized frame finish, slightly larger and more rectangular lenses, and no pantoscopic tilt (just like the New Wayfarer). The Justin skews younger and trendier, while the New Wayfarer maintains that classic Ray-Ban heritage. Price-wise, the Justin starts lower at $98 compared to $117.56 for the New Wayfarer. If you want the most recognizable, versatile frame that works from the beach to the office, stick with the New Wayfarer. If you're after a bolder, more contemporary vibe and like the grippy rubber texture, the Justin is worth considering.
New Wayfarer vs Original Wayfarer: Evolution of an Icon
The Original Wayfarer RB2140 is where it all started in 1952—the frame that defined cool for generations. The New Wayfarer RB2132 takes that DNA and updates it for comfort. The biggest difference is the pantoscopic tilt: the Original leans forward on your face, which some love for the vintage look but others find uncomfortable (it can press into your cheeks). The New Wayfarer sits upright, making it more wearable for all-day use. The New Wayfarer is also lighter and comes in three sizes versus two. If you want maximum authenticity and don't mind the tilt, go Original. If you prioritize comfort and a slightly softer shape, the New Wayfarer delivers the same iconic style with modern refinements.
