Wayfarer Sunglasses: Timeless Style Meets Sustainable Design

Why the Wayfarer Design Still Rules

The Wayfarer style is one of the most iconic eyewear silhouettes ever created. Its trapezoidal shape and strong browline have been favorites since the 1950s, popularized by cinema and music icons. Wikipedia+1

At Joplins, we take this classic design and reinvent it with sustainable materials. Our Wayfarer Wood Sunglasses collection blends the timeless appeal of the wayfarer shape with eco-conscious craftsmanship. JOPLINS® Sunglasses

How Joplins Reinvents the Wayfarer

Sustainable Materials

We use certified wood and responsibly sourced veneers for our wayfarer frames. Each pair displays natural grain patterns, so no two frames are identical.

Protection & Performance

Despite the wood frame, the lenses are engineered for full protection: polarized UV400, blocking harmful UVA & UVB rays. The style doesn’t compromise function.

Comfort & Design

Wood frames are surprisingly light when well made. We reinforce hinges and optimize balance so they sit comfortably all day.

Eco Promise

Every purchase supports tree planting and plastic removal — because you deserve eyewear that gives back.

How to Choose the Right Wayfarer for You

Face shape & fit

• For round faces → choose slightly angular frames

• For square faces → softer edges help balance angles

• For oval faces → most wayfarers will suit you

Lens & tint choices

• Go polarized for driving, water, or high-glare situations

• Choose tint levels depending on brightness conditions

Wood finish & style

• Light wood for a casual, natural look

• Dark or stained wood for a sleek, modern aesthetic

Styling Tips

• Casual outfits: pair wayfarer wood with jeans, white shirt, and leather accents.

• Smart casual: combine with chinos, a blazer, and neutral tones.

• Outdoor wear: matched with canvas jackets or earthy tones — the wood complements natural settings.

• Gender-neutral appeal: wayfarers suit both men and women, making them versatile shareable looks.

Care Tips for Wayfarer Wood Frames

• Always clean lenses with a microfiber cloth.

• Store them in the hard case when not in use to avoid bending.

• Avoid exposure to extreme heat (e.g. dashboards, direct sun on hot surfaces).

• Occasionally apply a thin layer of natural oil to wooden parts to maintain sheen and prevent drying.
