Sunglasses for Large Heads

Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses feels amazing, but for individuals with larger head sizes, it often comes with its unique set of challenges. The quest for comfortable and stylish eyewear can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Ill-fitting sunglasses not only compromise style but also diminish the experience of wearing them.

American Optical recognizes the importance of finding well-fitted eyewear, and we know how important it is that your style and comfort go hand in hand. Designed with larger head sizes in mind, our sunglasses for big heads offer a tailored solution, ensuring that everyone can enjoy both the aesthetic and fit they deserve.

Popular Styles for Large Heads

In our collection of sunglasses designed for larger head sizes, we offer a diverse range of popular styles that not only offer fashion-forward aesthetics but also prioritize comfort and fit.

Aviator Sunglasses

Aviators are timeless classics, known for their teardrop-shaped lenses and double bridge design. Our aviator sunglasses feature wider frames and temples for a better fit, ensuring that larger head sizes can enjoy the iconic aviator style.

Enhanced nose bridge and wider temple arms provide a comfortable and secure fit without sacrificing style.

If you tend to have issues finding long enough temples or arms, try the Original Pilot with its bayonet temples, no more worries about an ill-place temple bend.

Cat-Eye Sunglasses

Cat-eye sunglasses offer a playful, retro-chic look that can be surprisingly flattering on larger head sizes. Their upswept outer edges add width and definition around the temples, helping to visually balance the face. Look for slightly oversized or exaggerated cat-eye frames for the most comfortable and stylish fit.

Rectangle Sunglasses

Rectangle sunglasses offer a modern and sophisticated appearance. Our collection includes larger frames with a sleek rectangular shape that complements larger facial features.

Extended frame dimensions ensure an elegant and comfortable fit while adding a touch of contemporary style.

Size and Fit

Ensuring a proper fit is essential when selecting sunglasses for larger head sizes and wider faces. Follow the tips below to choose sunglasses that provide comfort and style.

Frame Width

Look for sunglasses with wider frames to accommodate larger head sizes. Oversized or extended frames provide a more comfortable fit.

Bridge Width

Ensure that the bridge width of the sunglasses matches the width of your nose. A wider bridge can offer better support and prevent discomfort.

Temple Length

Opt for sunglasses with longer temple arms. Longer arms help the sunglasses rest securely on your ears without squeezing or slipping. Also consider bayonet temples that don’t need to bend around your ears.

Adjustable Nose Pads

Sunglasses with adjustable nose pads allow you to customize the fit for added comfort.

Frame Materials

Choose frames made of lightweight and durable materials for comfortable, all-day wear.
