Collection: Ray-Ban Extra Small Sunglasses

Ray-Ban extra small sunglasses solve one of the most common frustrations in eyewear: finding designer shades that actually fit a smaller or narrower face. Standard-size frames can slide down the nose, sit too wide at the temples or overwhelm delicate features — so this collection gathers Ray-Ban's most compact, petite-friendly styles, along with select Ray-Ban Junior models, all in genuine, 100% authentic form from an authorised UK stockist. Whether you have a narrow face, high cheekbones or simply prefer a neat, proportionate look, these are the sunglasses designed with you in mind.

Who needs extra small sunglasses?

Frame size is measured by the lens width, bridge width and temple length printed on the inside of every arm, and "extra small" typically refers to frames with a lens width around the low-to-mid 40s of millimetres, paired with a narrower bridge and shorter temples. That combination suits petite adults, teenagers and anyone with a narrow or short face who finds most sunglasses too big. A well-proportioned frame sits level, hugs the temples gently without leaving pressure marks, and keeps the lenses centred over the eyes — all of which the Ray-Ban extra small sunglasses in this edit are built to deliver.

The collection blends iconic silhouettes scaled down to a smaller footprint. You will find the compact RB4165 Justin with its rectangular, slightly angled lenses; the softly rounded RB2197 Elliot and RB2198 Bill; and the unmistakable RB3447 Round Metal in its smaller size options. Ray-Ban Junior styles such as the RJ9064S and RJ9075S extend the range further for younger wearers and the smallest faces, offering the same quality and UV protection in a properly proportioned fit.

Iconic Ray-Ban styles in a smaller fit

Part of the joy of shopping extra small is that you do not have to sacrifice Ray-Ban's design heritage to get the fit right. The Round Metal lineage traces back to the brand's classic circular silhouette, offering a vintage, artistic look that reads beautifully on a smaller face. The Justin brings a modern, rubberised, slightly squared attitude, while softer models like the Bill and Elliot nod to Ray-Ban's mid-century roots with rounded, characterful outlines. Each is a genuine Ray-Ban, complete with the brand's build quality and lens standards, simply chosen here for its more compact proportions.

Lens technology and UV protection

Every pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses provides 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Beyond that baseline, the extra small collection features several Ray-Ban lens technologies:

• G-15 — the classic green-grey tint that reduces glare while keeping colours natural and true.
• Polarised lenses — which cut reflected glare from water, roads and shiny surfaces for sharper, more comfortable vision; browse more in our polarised sunglasses range.
• Gradient lenses — darker at the top and lighter toward the bottom, ideal for driving and a softer everyday look.
• Mirrored and coloured options for a bolder, more contemporary finish.

If you want a classic dark finish, our black sunglasses edit is worth a look, and drivers or beachgoers should prioritise polarised lenses for the biggest comfort gain.

Fit and styling for smaller faces

The secret to great-looking sunglasses on a smaller face is proportion. Frames should not extend past the widest part of your face, the lenses should sit centred over your eyes, and the arms should reach the ears without bowing outward. Get that balance right and even a bold shape looks polished. For a delicate, feminine effect, the rounded Bill and Elliot flatter softer features; for something sharper and more unisex, the Justin's angular lines add definition. Round Metal frames suit almost everyone, striking a timeless, slightly retro note.

Styling-wise, extra small sunglasses lend themselves to a neat, put-together look — think tailored summer outfits, minimalist accessories and clean colour palettes. Because the frames are compact, they keep the focus on your face rather than dominating it, which is exactly why petite wearers often feel more like themselves in a properly sized pair.

Prescription orders are individually glazed in the UK and typically take around 7 to 10 working days before dispatch. Just add your prescription details when you order and our team will take care of the rest.

Caring for your sunglasses

Clean the lenses with a microfibre cloth and lens spray or warm soapy water rather than a dry tissue, which can scratch the coating. Store them in their case when not in use, keep them off hot surfaces such as a car dashboard, and always fold them and set them down lens-up to protect the finish.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I need extra small sunglasses?

Check the size numbers on your current frames or measure the width of your face. If standard sunglasses slide down, sit too wide or leave the lenses off-centre, an extra small frame — typically with a lens width in the low-to-mid 40s of millimetres — will fit better.

Are extra small Ray-Bans only for children?

No. While the collection includes some Ray-Ban Junior styles, it is aimed at anyone with a smaller or narrower face, including petite adults and teenagers who want a proportionate fit.

Do these sunglasses offer full UV protection?

Yes. Every genuine Ray-Ban provides 100% UV protection against UVA and UVB rays, regardless of size or lens colour.

Can I get extra small Ray-Ban sunglasses with polarised lenses?

Several styles are available with polarised lenses, which cut glare from water, roads and reflective surfaces. Look for the polarised option on the product page, or browse our dedicated polarised sunglasses collection.

Can these be made into prescription sunglasses?

Many can. We can glaze tinted prescription lenses — single vision, varifocal or bifocal — into suitable frames. Prescription orders usually take around 7 to 10 working days.

Yes. Ardor Eyewear is an authorised stockist and every pair is 100% authentic.
