Ralph by Ralph Lauren
Ralph by Ralph Lauren is the lighter, more playful side of the Ralph Lauren eyewear family: soft shapes, bold colour and prices that make a second pair easy to justify. It is one of our largest ranges, with sixteen optical frames and sixteen sunglasses.
The story
Ralph Lauren founded his company in New York in 1967 with a line of ties under the Polo name, and built it into one of America's best-known fashion houses. Ralph by Ralph Lauren takes that heritage in a relaxed, feminine direction, with cat-eyes, butterflies and softened squares, often finished in tortoiseshell, transparent colours and fine metal details. The eyewear is made under licence by EssilorLuxottica.
Signature models we stock
Ralph optical frames start at £70.99 and sunglasses at £75.99, with polarised lenses on several sun models.
How to choose your size
Inside the temple of every frame you will find three numbers, for example 54-17-140: lens width, bridge width and temple length, in millimetres. The quickest way to choose is to compare with a pair that already fits you. Our size guide explains every number, and each product page lists the overall frame width as well. The Ralph optical frames we stock measure 124 to 136 mm across the front, with lens widths from 51 to 56; the sunglasses run a little larger, 126 to 141 mm. Many optical models come in two sizes, so check both against your current pair.
Lenses we fit
Every eligible frame can be fitted with single vision optical lenses, made to your eye-test results by our specialist glazing lab: clear lenses in four thicknesses (1.5, 1.6, 1.67 and 1.74), Transitions® lenses that darken outdoors, polarised sun lenses, solid or gradient tints and mirror finishes. Every lens includes scratch-resistant and anti-reflection coatings, with optional upgrades to SILVER (adds anti-static and UV protection), GOLD (adds a blue-light filter) and PLATINUM (adds enhanced contrast for day and night driving). The lens builder on each product page only shows the options that work for your numbers, and clear lenses start from £59. At these frame prices, a dedicated screen pair with our GOLD blue-light-filter coating, or a sun pair with polarised lenses, is an easy addition.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Ralph and Polo Ralph Lauren eyewear?
Both come from Ralph Lauren. Ralph by Ralph Lauren is the lighter, more colourful and more feminine line at a lower price; Polo Ralph Lauren is the classic, tailored line, with preppy pilots, squared acetates and keyhole bridges.
Are your Ralph frames authentic?
Every frame we sell is authentic, sourced directly from the manufacturer as an authorised UK stockist, and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Can I have optical lenses in Ralph sunglasses?
Most Ralph sunglasses can take single vision optical lenses made by our specialist glazing lab, including polarised and tinted lenses. The lens builder only offers what suits that frame.
Which Ralph shape suits me?
Cat-eye and butterfly shapes lift the face and suit rounder and oval faces especially well; softer squares add structure. The virtual try-on on each product page is the quickest way to see.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock frames are despatched within one working day; frames we order in from the brand take 7–10 working days. If you add lenses, they are made to order: allow 7–10 working days before despatch. Delivery is free and tracked on every UK order.
