Collection: Ray-Ban Medium Sunglasses

Our Ray-Ban medium sunglasses collection gathers the brand's most wearable frame sizes into one place — the everyday, fits-almost-everyone proportion that has made models like the Aviator, Wayfarer and Clubmaster global icons. If you have ever found large frames overwhelming or small ones too tight across the temples, a medium Ray-Ban is usually the sweet spot. As an authorised UK stockist, Ardor Eyewear supplies 100% authentic Ray-Ban sunglasses with free UK delivery, priced in this collection from around £90 to £210.

What "medium" means in Ray-Ban sunglasses

Ray-Ban prints three numbers on the inside of every temple arm, and learning to read them takes the guesswork out of buying online. The first number is the lens width in millimetres, the second is the bridge width (the gap over your nose), and the third is the temple length. A medium Ray-Ban typically carries a lens width in the region of 52mm to 55mm — for example, the RB2132 New Wayfarer in its 55mm size or the RB3016 Clubmaster at 51mm both sit comfortably in the medium bracket. If you already own a pair of glasses that fit well, find those three numbers on the arm and match the first one within a millimetre or two. That single habit prevents most sizing disappointments.

Medium is deliberately the most universal size Ray-Ban makes. It suits the widest range of face widths, works for both men and women, and photographs well without dominating your features. It is the size most people picture when they think "classic Ray-Ban".

Iconic models in the Ray-Ban medium sunglasses range

This collection is a roll-call of the frames that built the brand. The RB3025 Aviator — the teardrop lens designed originally for pilots — is the definitive medium metal frame and pairs beautifully with G-15 green or gradient lenses. The RB2132 New Wayfarer offers the softened, slightly slimmer take on the legendary Wayfarer silhouette, cut in lightweight acetate. The RB3016 Clubmaster brings the browline look — acetate top, metal lower rim — that never dates. For a rounder, softer alternative there is the RB4171 Erika, hugely popular with women for its curved nylon frame, while the RB2198 Bill and RB4187 Chris deliver relaxed, retro-square shapes that flatter oval and heart-shaped faces.

• Aviator (RB3025): teardrop metal, timeless, unisex.
• New Wayfarer (RB2132): softened acetate wayfarer, everyday hero.
• Clubmaster (RB3016): browline, retro-intellectual.
• Erika (RB4171): rounded nylon, effortless and feminine.
• Bill & Chris: relaxed retro squares with modern proportions.

Choosing medium sunglasses for your face shape

Face shape matters more than trends. As a rule of thumb, contrast works: angular frames soften round faces, and rounded frames balance square or angular ones. Because medium frames are moderate in scale, they are forgiving across the board.

Face shape	Medium Ray-Ban to try
Round	Wayfarer, Clubmaster — angular lines add definition
Square	Aviator, Erika — curves soften a strong jaw
Oval	Almost anything — the most versatile shape
Heart	Aviator, Erika — wider tops balance a narrow chin

If you are torn between styles, browse our wider Ray-Ban sunglasses edit to compare silhouettes side by side, or explore the aviator sunglasses hub if that pilot shape is calling.

Lens technology explained

Every genuine pair in this collection offers full UV400 protection, blocking 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Beyond that, Ray-Ban gives you real choice. The classic G-15 lens filters bright light while keeping colours natural. Gradient lenses fade from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom, ideal for driving and city wear. Mirror finishes add a reflective flash and cut glare further. For anyone who spends time near water, snow or long roads, polarised sunglasses eliminate blinding horizontal glare and are well worth the small premium.

Prescription Ray-Ban medium sunglasses at Ardor

You do not have to choose between your favourite frame and clear vision. Most Ray-Ban medium sunglasses in this collection can be glazed with prescription lenses — single vision, varifocal, bifocal, blue-light or tinted and photochromic options. Our in-house glazing takes roughly 7 to 10 working days. If you would rather see the full prescription-ready range, visit our dedicated prescription sunglasses collection. Prefer everyday spectacles instead? The Ray-Ban glasses range covers optical frames.

Men's, women's and unisex styling

The beauty of medium sizing is its neutrality. The Aviator and Wayfarer are genuinely unisex, while the Erika leans feminine and the larger Clubmaster reads slightly more masculine — though plenty of shoppers wear all of them regardless. For a tailored browse, our men's sunglasses and women's sunglasses collections filter by fit and styling. Pair a black acetate Wayfarer with a crisp white shirt for weekend polish, or a gold Aviator with denim and a tan jacket for that easy, lived-in look.

Why buy from Ardor Eyewear

As an authorised stockist we guarantee every pair is 100% authentic Ray-Ban, complete with case and cloth. UK delivery is free, and our 14-day returns policy lets you send frames back if they are not quite right (return postage is covered by the customer). To keep your sunglasses in top condition, always clean the lenses with the supplied microfibre cloth rather than a shirt tail, store them in the case when not in use, and avoid leaving them on a hot car dashboard, which can warp acetate over time.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if a Ray-Ban medium size will fit me?

Check the lens-width number on the temple arm of any pair you already own and match it within a couple of millimetres. Medium Ray-Ban frames generally run 52–55mm and suit the majority of adult faces.

Do they all offer UV protection?

Every genuine pair provides UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays regardless of lens colour or finish.

What is the difference between the Wayfarer and New Wayfarer?

The New Wayfarer is a slightly slimmer, softer, more lightweight update of the original Wayfarer, with a less sharply angled frame — often a more comfortable fit for medium faces.
