Today's fashion essential, Wayfarer classic 2140 sunglasses by Ray-Ban, were designed by Raymond Stegeman and first manufactured in 1952. Along with the Ray-Ban aviators the Wayfarer is the best selling sunglasses' design ever!
New plastic molding techniques in the early '50s made the Wayfarer's trapezoidal frame design possible and the Wayfarer became a mid-century classic!
Having a decidedly masculine look it seems surprising that this style has become so popular with women. Audrey Hepburn helped popularize the classic Wayfarer with women after she appeared in them looking ultra-feminine in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Hepburn set off a 1960's fashion craze--everyone was wearing Wayfarers!
Wayfarers have been hot on and off with Madonna popularizing them again when she wore them in 1985 in Desperately Seeking Susan. The last decade has been hot for Wayfarers with many new colors and styles. For a classic chic look the original classic Ray-Ban 2140 Wayfarer in black is the way to go!
