DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140F sunglasses bring the most recognizable style in eyewear history to a wider range of faces. This is the Asian Fit version of the Original Wayfarer—the frame that changed sunglasses from function to fashion when it debuted in 1952.

The Original Wayfarer Legacy

When Ray-Ban introduced the Wayfarer in the early 1950s, moldable plastics were just entering the scene. The bold acetate frame was radically different from the wire-rimmed styles of the era. By 1952, the design had found its audience—and never let go. Tom Cruise made them a cultural phenomenon in Risky Business (1983), selling 360,000 pairs that year alone. Appearances in The Blues Brothers, The Breakfast Club, and Miami Vice pushed sales to 1.5 million annually. Musicians from Bob Dylan to Michael Jackson wore them. Today, the Wayfarer remains as relevant as ever on celebrities like Emma Watson and Robert Pattinson.

The 2140F keeps everything that made the Original Wayfarer legendary—the distinctive square shape, the iconic metal rivets, the signature Ray-Ban logo on the temples, and that characteristic pantoscopic tilt (the forward angle at the top of the frame that creates the classic retro profile). What's different? The nose bridge and fit.

Asian Fit: What It Means

The "F" designation indicates Asian Fit, engineered for faces with higher cheekbones and wider, lower nose bridges. The nose pads are larger and positioned differently than the standard 2140, preventing the frames from sitting too close to your cheeks or sliding down. If you've ever struggled with sunglasses that rest on your cheeks, press uncomfortably on your nose, or leave marks, this fit solves those problems. It's not exclusive to Asian faces—anyone with similar facial geometry benefits from the modified bridge.

Construction & Features

These frames are built from lightweight acetate in a full-rim construction. The acetate is durable, hypoallergenic, and holds its shape well. You'll find the classic Wayfarer details: those distinctive metal rivets at the hinges, the sculpted temples with the Ray-Ban signature, and a variety of lens options including crystal green G-15, polarized, gradient, and solid tints. All lenses provide 100% UV protection against UVA and UVB rays.

The 2140F is prescription-ready. You can have your optician fit prescription lenses into these frames, turning them into prescription sunglasses that carry the same iconic look.

Sizing: 52mm vs. 54mm

The 2140F comes in two lens widths. The 52mm is the smaller option—snug, polished, and ideal for narrow to average faces. The 54mm offers a slightly oversized, bolder statement look. The difference is noticeable: 52mm feels classic and fitted, while 54mm leans into that relaxed, vintage-cool vibe. If you're between sizes, consider whether you want understated or eye-catching.

Who Should Wear Them

The square Wayfarer shape flatters round and oval faces by adding structure and angles. The Asian Fit works best if you have a lower nose bridge, wider bridge width, or higher cheekbones. The pantoscopic tilt is part of the design DNA—it creates that iconic look but may let in some overhead light depending on your face shape. If you prioritize complete sun coverage, the New Wayfarer 2132 has less tilt. If you want the original 1950s silhouette, the 2140F delivers it with a better fit for many face types.

These aren't just sunglasses. They're a piece of design history that's been cool for over 70 years—and shows no signs of stopping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ray-Ban 2140 and 2140F?

The 2140F is the Asian Fit version of the Original Wayfarer 2140. It features larger, differently positioned nose pads designed for faces with higher cheekbones and wider nose bridges. The frame shape, lens options, and iconic Wayfarer design remain the same—only the nose bridge and fit are modified for better comfort on certain face types.

Are Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140F sunglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Ray-Ban 2140F Wayfarer sunglasses are prescription-ready. The frames can accommodate prescription lenses, allowing you to turn them into prescription sunglasses. You can work with your optician or order prescription lenses online to fit these frames with your exact vision correction needs.

Should I get 52mm or 54mm Wayfarer size?

The 52mm offers a smaller, snug fit ideal for narrow to average faces—it's polished and classic. The 54mm provides a slightly oversized, bolder look with a more relaxed, statement feel. The best size depends on your face width and the style you prefer: 52mm for understated cool, 54mm for vintage-inspired presence.

What is the difference between Ray-Ban 2140 Original Wayfarer and 2132 New Wayfarer?

The 2140 Original Wayfarer has a distinctive pantoscopic tilt (forward angle at the top) and bolder acetate construction, giving it the classic 1950s retro look. The 2132 New Wayfarer sits more upright on your face with less tilt, is made from lighter nylon, and offers a more modern, streamlined fit. The Original is the iconic vintage silhouette; the New is a contemporary update.

Do Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140F sunglasses have UV protection?

Yes, all Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140F sunglasses include lenses with 100% UV protection against both UVA and UVB rays. This protection is standard across all lens colors and treatments, including non-polarized, polarized, and gradient options.

Who should wear Asian Fit sunglasses like the 2140F?

Asian Fit sunglasses are designed for anyone with higher cheekbones, a lower or wider nose bridge, or flatter facial features. The modified nose pads prevent the frames from sitting on your cheeks, sliding down, or leaving pressure marks. While called "Asian Fit," these frames benefit anyone whose face shape matches this geometry, regardless of ethnicity.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer 2140F vs. New Wayfarer 2132 vs. Wayfarer 4340

Choosing between Wayfarer models comes down to fit, style preference, and how much you value the original 1950s design. Here's how the 2140F stacks up against its closest relatives.

2140F vs. 2132 New Wayfarer: Original vs. Modern

The 2140F is the Asian Fit version of the Original Wayfarer—the 1952 design that started it all. It features bold acetate construction and that distinctive pantoscopic tilt (the forward angle at the top of the frame). This tilt is part of the retro DNA, giving the 2140F its vintage look. The trade-off? It may let in some overhead sunlight depending on your face shape.

The 2132 New Wayfarer is Ray-Ban's modern update. It sits more upright on your face with significantly less tilt, providing better overhead sun coverage. It's made from lighter nylon instead of acetate, and the overall silhouette is more streamlined. If you want the Wayfarer shape but prefer contemporary comfort and function over vintage authenticity, the 2132 is your pick. However, it's not available in Asian Fit—if you need the modified nose bridge, the 2140F is the better choice.

Choose the 2140F if: You want the authentic Original Wayfarer look with Asian Fit comfort, don't mind the pantoscopic tilt, and prefer the substantial feel of acetate.

Choose the 2132 if: You want a lighter, more upright fit with better sun coverage and a modern take on the Wayfarer, and the standard nose bridge works for your face.

2140F vs. 4340 Wayfarer: Classic Tilt vs. Flat Profile

The Wayfarer 4340 is Ray-Ban's answer to the pantoscopic tilt issue. It keeps the classic Wayfarer aesthetic but reduces the forward angle dramatically, offering more complete sunlight coverage. The 4340 also features a rubberized plastic frame for a smoother, more contemporary look, and longer 140mm temples (vs. 135mm on the 2140F) for better fit on larger heads.

The catch? The 4340 is only available in 50mm, making it better suited for smaller to average faces. If you want the 54mm size for a bolder look, the 2140F is your only option. The 4340 also lacks the Asian Fit modification, so if you need the wider nose bridge, stick with the 2140F.

Choose the 2140F if: You need Asian Fit, want size options (52mm or 54mm), or prefer the authentic tilted Original Wayfarer profile.

Choose the 4340 if: You want the Wayfarer look with a flatter, more functional fit, need longer temples, and the 50mm standard fit works for your face.

2140F vs. 2140 Standard Fit: Same Frame, Different Bridge

The 2140 standard fit and the 2140F Asian Fit are identical except for the nose bridge. Same iconic design, same acetate construction, same lens options. The difference is purely in the nose pads: the 2140F has larger pads positioned for higher cheekbones and wider bridges.

If the standard 2140 sits on your cheeks, slides down your nose, or leaves pressure marks, the 2140F solves that. If the standard fit works fine, there's no reason to switch. Try both if possible—the right fit is immediately obvious when you put them on.

Our take: The 2140F delivers the most iconic sunglasses design in history with a fit that works for a wider range of faces. If you've avoided Wayfarers because of fit issues, this is the frame that changes that.
