Wayfarer glasses are renowned for their timeless appeal, versatility, and unmistakable style. Originating in the 1950s, these frames were popularised by iconic figures such as James Dean and Audrey Hepburn, cementing their status as a fashion staple that continues to endure through the decades.
Wayfarer glasses are characterised by a bold, square-shaped silhouette with slightly tapered edges, these popular glasses look great on a wide range of face shapes, including round, oval, and heart-shaped - you can find out more about glasses that suit your face shape with our face shape guide. The angular contours of wayfarer frames help to add definition to your face for a balanced appearance that helps to accentuate natural features.
Wayfarer frames are instantly recognisable as one of the world's best-selling prescription glasses styles. Their iconic design and vintage flair make them the perfect accessory for any occasion.
Prescription Wayfarer glasses generally feature a full-framed design, making them a strong and durable frame choice that can keep up with the demands of a busy life. Crafted from high-quality materials such as acetate or durable plastics, these frames are built to withstand the rigours of daily wear and tear. Unlike flimsy frames that may warp or break easily, wayfarer glasses maintain their shape and integrity over time, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

We have a selection of lenses available for any of our glasses, including our Wayfarer glasses. All of our prescription glasses come with single-vision lenses as standard for free, but we also offer a selection of premium lens choices that can be added to your Wayfarer glasses
Choose bifocal lenses for your Wayfarers if you have a long and short prescription that you would like to have combined into a single pair of glasses - removing the need to have multiple pairs of glasses. Find out more about bifocal lenses.
Varifocal lenses are preferred by many glasses wearers as they offer maximum versatility. Similar to bifocals, a pair of varifocal Wayfarers use both a long and short prescription that is combined into a single lens. Their advantage is a gradual transition between these prescriptions, thus providing a gradient of prescriptions within the centre portion of the lens - perfect for medium-distance vision.
