How to wear wayfarer sunglasses

Wayfarer sunglasses arrived in the mid 1950s when RayBan introduced them to the market. They caught on instantly what with popular celebrities like Audrey Hepburn sporting them regularly. In fact, at one time, wayfarers were the uncrowned ‘kings of sunglasses'. The sleek design, plastic frames and the overall look ensured that these sunglasses were lapped up by people. However, after a period of glory, the hoopla over wayfarer sunglasses died down. Soon, these became obsolete and stayed out of public interest. Until now!

 

The early 1980s saw a revival of interest in the wayfarer sunglasses as more and more people demanded a more resilient model that offered complete UV protection. The wayfarers were among the best choices in both departments and were used widely by modern fashion designers. Celebrities too lent their glamour to the sunglasses with the likes of Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Madonna wearing them as fashion accessories. No wonder wayfarers became the trend of the decade!

 

With their revival in the eighties, wayfarers have managed to emerge as one of the evergreen designs in fashion sunglasses. The characteristics of wayfarer designs are as follows:

 

1. The lens is rectangular or semi-trapezoidal. This design lends itself favorably both to men and women. In men, this brings out the masculinity of their faces while in women, the glasses produce a chic look.

2. After a major redesign, the frames have become sleeker and more lightweight than before contributing to the laid back, comfy feel of the glasses.

3. To make it easier to wear the glasses, these days, light weight plastic is used for the frame.

4. The shape has also undergone a slight change as the glasses have lost some of their angularity.

 

In recent times, wayfarer sunglasses have undergone certain changes. These days, the distinctive looking frames are available in a variety of colors ranging from turquoise to navy blue, pink, camouflage and white besides red and black of course. Thus, wayfarer sunglasses have reinvented themselves to suit the changing aspirations of the fashion conscious.

 

Although some of the designs available in wayfarer sunglasses suit formal occasions, their appeal is at a maximum when they are worn casually. Combined with tees and jeans, these sunglasses bring out the best in just about anyone. In fact, some of the latest colors and designs are so stunning that they make major fashion statements in themselves. The checker design shades and the shutter shades are examples.

 

These days, it is possible to buy high quality wayfarer sunglasses from online stores. However, one must be careful while shopping for sunglasses online. It is important to shop with a reliable, established online store so that you are assured of the best in terms of quality as well as price.

How do I get scratches out of Ray Ban Wayfarer Frames?

I have a pair of classic black Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses from the 80s that have had a lot of use. The frame has dulled with lots of small scratches over the years. How can I polish the frames to bring back some of the lustre? I have been to an optometrist but they had no idea. I'm really after a plastic polish that is OK for use on the type of plastic used in Wayfarers.

Use a finger nail polishing (emery) board, it has 2-4 different grades of coarseness. Start with the heavier coarse, then finish with the finest.

Good Luck!
