Ray-ban Boyfriend Two Polarized Sunglasses
Ray-Ban Boyfriend Two Polarized Sunglasses
The Boyfriend Two (RB4547) is Ray-Ban's evolution of its iconic best-selling Boyfriend silhouette. It keeps the design signatures that made the original a classic, then refines the proportions for a wider, more relaxed fit. Peaked temples and bold metal front rivets give the frame instant brand recognition, while injected acetate construction delivers the durability and precision fit Ray-Ban is known for worldwide.
Frame Construction and Fit
The Boyfriend Two is built from injected acetate, a material prized for its resilience, smooth finish, and ability to hold precise shapes over time. The square frame silhouette sits wide, designed for a broad-fitting face. The High Bridge Fit nosepads provide added comfort and stability for wearers with higher nose bridges, keeping the frame seated properly without the lenses drifting down. Hinge-to-hinge width is 139mm, lens height is 48mm, bridge width is 18mm, and temples extend 145mm, giving a secure, all-day carry.
Peaked temples taper cleanly to the tip with the Ray-Ban script logo, reinforcing the frame's refined character. The distinctive metal rivets at the front corners are a hallmark detail carried forward from the original Boyfriend and are immediately recognizable as a Ray-Ban design cue.
Polarized Lenses
Every Boyfriend Two Polarized lens blocks 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. The polarized filter goes further: it eliminates horizontal glare reflected from water, sand, pavement, and other flat surfaces. Where standard UV-blocking lenses simply reduce brightness, polarized lenses selectively cut glare at the source, producing a cleaner, higher-contrast view with truer color rendering. This makes the Boyfriend Two Polarized especially effective on the water or beach, where reflected glare is intense.
Lenses carry a solid-color treatment, meaning consistent optical density across the entire lens surface with no gradient fade. Ray-Ban polarized lenses meet the optical quality standards expected from an authorized Ray-Ban product.

What Does Ray-Ban Polarized Mean?
Ray-Ban polarized lenses incorporate a laminated filter layer oriented to block vertically reflected light waves, the primary source of glare. Standard tinted lenses reduce overall light transmission uniformly. Polarized lenses block only the glare-causing horizontal light waves while allowing other light through normally. The practical difference is immediate on bright days near water or any reflective surface: colors are richer, edges are sharper, and eye strain is reduced during extended wear.
How to Tell if Ray-Bans Are Polarized
Three reliable checks: (1) Look for the small "P" etched or printed on the lens near the Ray-Ban logo, visible in the product image above. (2) Hold the lens at a 90-degree angle to another polarized lens or a phone screen and rotate; the lenses will darken significantly when the filters are perpendicular. (3) Tilt the frame while looking at a bright reflective surface such as a car hood or water; a polarized lens will visibly cut the glare as you rotate, a standard lens will not.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Ray-Ban polarized mean?
- Ray-Ban polarized lenses have a laminated filter that blocks horizontally reflected light waves, the primary cause of glare from water, sand, and pavement. Standard lenses reduce overall brightness; polarized lenses selectively eliminate glare while keeping the rest of the scene sharp and color-accurate.
- How can I tell if Ray-Bans are polarized?
- Look for the small "P" logo printed on the lens near the Ray-Ban branding. You can also hold the lens perpendicular to another polarized surface such as a phone screen and rotate; the view will darken when filters are at 90 degrees. On a bright day, polarized lenses visibly cut reflected glare from flat surfaces while standard lenses do not.
