For those of us who are a bit clueless on why the Ray Ban RB2140 is in such high demand now, here is a quick run down on why these original Wayfarers are back in action. Folks who absolutely love the Ray Ban Wayfarer original sunglasses will be delighted to know that Ray Ban came out with the Wayfarer II. Here are some of the differences of the Ray Ban Wayfarer II as compared to the original.
The original Wayfarer was a hit in the 1950's when Ray Ban first launched them. The company came up the new design during then to replace metal frame glasses and they instantly became popular. Different high profile people like political figures and celebrities can be seen wearing these fashionable shades during then. People no longer had to wear metal frame glasses as the Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 is made from plastic making it lighter. For those who have allergy problems with metal frames, these sunglasses really helped. However, sales for the original Wayfarer plunged in the 1970's but it managed to pick up again in the 1980's.
Sales again plunged in the 1990's for the glasses but they immediately picked up again in the late 2000's as certain celebrities were seen wearing them. These days, you can even find buyers who are still looking for the original Wayfarer models. They do not have any problem paying top dollar for these authentic glasses. The company decided to have their original glasses redesigned and sales have been picking up ever since. So that is why the original is now back in demand as people are beginning to appreciate the design and authentic look of the Wayfarer.
Not everyone wants their sunglasses to be black in color. I'm referring to the color of the frames here. Of course we all know that sunglasses function to shield our eyes from the glare when you we are outdoors as well as to provide a more filtered line of vision. However, when it comes to style and fashion, people will always love to choose from a wide variety of choices that is able to suit their personal taste. While the original Ray Ban Wayfarer comes in a variety of colors, the Wayfarer II on the other hand comes with a different color twist. Its frames come in 2 different contrasting tones which is a deliberate attempt to highlight the iconic contoured shape of the frames. So instead of only one color, your frames come in 2 colors with the Ray Ban Wayfarer II. How cool is that?
While the original comes in 2 different sizes which is in 50mm for small or 54mm for large, the Wayfarer II has certain models that come in smaller lens size which is 47mm. While they also come in 50mm, this is to cater to the needs of women who are not left out when the design team came out with these new ranges of sunglasses. So now both men and women can get their hands on these awesome shades with their unique color combination.
Now, you can find the Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 original glasses in various different colors and designs. Fans of these sunglasses will be pleased to know that the glasses are available in polarized and even fine rare prints. One of the bold design is based on the New York Metro lines while other designs are printed on the inside of the frames. These even a red color model that is sure to make heads turn. Those who enjoy art and contemporary designs will definitely enjoy owning a pair of these happening shades. And even if you do not like all these new prints and colors, you can always get a pair of the original glasses.
While the frames retain their iconic shape, the Wayfarer II will appear to look like it has bigger frames because of the color contrast. Another feature that is offered in the Wayfarer II are crystal lenses that come in either bold or neutral color to suit the taste of the wearer. While some people may prefer brown lenses, others may want to try grey colored ones as it's a different feel from the normal black color lenses. So if you're planning to get yourself a new pair of sunglasses, why not have a look at the new Wayfarer II and see which ones suit your personality.
