Inspired by the Wayfarer
This design has been worn by a generation of change-makers from Bob Dylan, Warhol, Dean, Monroe and Ali. For good reason — slightly oversized and gently rounded make this pair flattering on every face shape.

Elevated in Key Ways
In classic Essential fashion, we wanted to improve on the original. To accent the mostly bare design, we added two circular silver pins on each side. These pins serve to gently raise the profile and add an air of elegance to an otherwise famously cavalier design.

Slightly oversized and gently rounded, the frame looks good and feels good on every face.
