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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
