In 2001, Ray-Ban gave their classic Wayfarer a makeover to improve the comfort and functionality of the sunglasses. This revamped version of the Wayfarer, otherwise known as the RB2132, New Wayfarer, was designed to eliminate the over-pronounced pantoscopic tilt enabling the frame to sit more comfortably on the face. New Wayfarer RB2132 offers better sunlight coverage and is made with lighter materials for all-day wear.

The 52 represents the width of each lens, which is 52mm. And if you really want to get technical, the height of each lens, or the “B” measurement, is about 36mm. The New Wayfarer 52 has a small-to-medium fit, which is generally a nice fit for women.

The New Wayfarer 55 has more of a medium-to-large fit. The width of each lens is 55mm, and the height of each lens is about 40mm. So they’re definitely bigger up and down and side to side. The 55mm Wayfarer is usually a good fit for men, but it’s all a matter of preference and whether you like an oversized fit or a smaller fit. I’m a bigger guy and a 55 definitely fits me better. If you’re a woman who likes bigger frames, then the 55mm might work for you also.
