Effortless femininity. Everyday elegance.
The Ray-Ban 4171 has established itself as one of the brand's most beloved and consistently popular frames — and it is not difficult to understand why. Where many sunglasses demand attention, the 4171 earns it quietly, through the quality of its proportions, the thoughtfulness of its material combination, and a silhouette that manages to feel simultaneously relaxed and refined.
Named after one of Ray-Ban's signature feminine styles, the 4171's gently rounded lens shape and distinctive mixed-material construction — acetate front meeting slim metal temples — give it a character that sits apart from both the purely acetate and purely metal frames in the range. In Havana Tortoise with gunmetal temples, it is perhaps at its most accomplished.

The Optical Perspective
The 4171's mixed-material construction is one of its most commercially significant features and warrants specific attention in the retail environment. The combination of a substantial acetate front with featherweight metal temples gives the frame a visual presence from the front that belies its physical lightness — a quality that customers who are accustomed to heavy acetate frames will notice and appreciate immediately.
The gently rounded lens shape positions the 4171 as one of the most flattering frames across a range of face profiles. The soft curve works particularly well on square and angular face shapes, where it introduces welcome softness and femininity without the sometimes challenging nature of a fully round lens. It also suits heart-shaped and oval faces with equal ease, making it one of the most reliably flattering recommendations in the feminine sunglass range.
At 54mm, the lens width sits in the medium-to-generous range — providing comfortable coverage without tipping into an oversized aesthetic, making it suitable for a broad range of face sizes.
