Brand New Limited Edition Ray Ban Sunglasses: The Color Block Collection

Ray Ban Original Wayfarer sunglasses are one of the most iconic accessories in pop culture, rising to fame in the 1980s and maintaining its major popularity for three decades. Any brand with such a successful product takes a huge risk when making changes to something that is instantly recognizable, but Ray Ban knows exactly what to do to keep the style fresh with brand new designs while maintaining the Wayfarer's classic appeal. The most recent reinvention is the limited edition Color Block collection, featuring bold patterns and colors that are an extension of the Rare Prints line.
 
Each new Ray Ban 8000 Series frame in this collection is "individually carved from a color block art mold," according to the brand. The new patterns mix a truly vintage-inspired look with the distinct retro look of the Wayfarer, taking cues from De Stijl painter Piet Mondrian with its black grid and varying color combinations. Perhaps the frame most reminiscent of the artist's work is Ray Ban RB2140 sunglasses in color 1085, which serves as the face of the Color Block collection. The gridlines are filled in with translucent red, blue, orange, yellow and clear, which look stunning when the sunlight shines through the frame.

For a more subtle look, check out Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses in color 1083, which uses red, beige and clear accents between the gridlines. This style looks great on both men and women with lighter hair. In particular, the frame's red coloring brings out the rosy tint in strawberry blonde hair. Brunettes, on the other hand, look great with style 1086, which has a brown, clear, and light blue design.

Those who prefer to stay on the dark end of the color spectrum will love color 1084, featuring varying shades of gray that allow you to show off your funky style in chic way.

Ray Ban Wayfarers are also offered in a wide number of other colors and patterns from classic and refined to bold and playful. They are also compatible with polarized lenses to help protect your eyes from dangerous UVA and UVB rays.
