Sunglasses for Big Heads

[alaaro]

Hello all. I have a big head. I don't know my exact hat size, but I know my circumference is in the 24"-25" range. Trying to find sunglasses that don't look ridiculous on me is pretty hard. Can anyone recommend a brand that makes sunglasses for larger sizes? Thanks!

Revos had couple large sunglasses. More or less, most manufacturers make a handfull of sunglasses for big heads so look around.

The best eyeglasses advice I've had is that your eyes should fall right in the middle of the lens area (side to side and top to bottom). For sunglasses, it would be similar but you'd also want to avoid having too small of lenses if you have a large head. If you like the style (I do), Ray Ban aviators come in 3 sizes (S, M and L). If you'd rather plastic rims, you might look for Persols. I think they generally have larger lenses. Just look around for something that balances the size of your noggin and looks good with your features. I prefer the classic styles.

I second the Rayban Aviator suggestion. I have a huge head, and the large Aviators fit just right. Anything smaller leaves too much open space at the temples.

Persol 649's. Available in three sizes, starting at "big". Great shape though.

Oliver Goldsmith do custom sized glasses to fit to your nose and your head.

I've been told I have a big head and long suffered the frustration of being unable to find sunglasses that flatter. My search ended after an exhaustive day of shopping last summer. I tried on half a million models from half a million designers and bought the only pair that everyone agreed looked like they were designed for my face.

I didn't buy them from the website above; this post isn't an endorsement. I bought mine from a Gucci boutique.

Maui Jim makes some of their sunglasses in multiple sizes. I have the largest size of their Titanium Sports.

I have the biggest head I have ever encountered. I recommend Ray Ban aviators or just look around at different Ray Bans. A couple of different styles have fit my face, rb 3332, rb 3026
