A new classic in the making.
The Ray-Ban 2197 is one of the brand's most accomplished recent additions — a frame that feels simultaneously fresh and familiar, drawing on the rich heritage of Ray-Ban's acetate tradition while bringing a distinctly contemporary sensibility to the silhouette. Where the Wayfarer is angular and bold, the 2197 occupies a considered middle ground — a gently squared lens with subtly curved corners that gives it a character both relaxed and refined.
In gloss black acetate with G-15 green lenses, the 2197 is immediately at home in the Ray-Ban canon — a combination that will feel natural to anyone who has appreciated the brand's most enduring colourways.

The Optical Perspective
The 2197's silhouette is one of its most commercially significant attributes — it occupies a genuinely versatile position in the acetate sunglass range that makes it an excellent recommendation across a broad spectrum of customers and face shapes.
The softly squared, gently rounded lens outline flatters a wide range of face profiles. The slight curve at the corners softens the frame for rounder face shapes where a purely squared lens might feel too abrupt, while the overall structure and horizontal emphasis of the lens provides the definition and visual lift that oval and heart-shaped faces benefit from. For square or angular facial structures, the rounded corners introduce a graceful counterpoint without losing the frame's sense of substance and presence.
At 52mm, the lens width sits in the small-to-medium range — a more refined and considered fit than many contemporary acetate frames, and one that suits customers who prefer a cleaner, less oversized aesthetic. This positions the 2197 naturally alongside customers who appreciated the New Wayfarer but are looking for something with a softer, more contemporary character, as well as those drawn to the Meteor or round acetate styles but wanting a frame with slightly more structure.
The 2197 represents Ray-Ban at its most quietly confident — a frame with no single defining gesture but an overall quality of proportion and finish that reveals itself progressively the more time one spends with it.
