Finding sunglasses that actually fit a big head shouldn’t be this hard. If you’re tired of shades that pinch your temples, slide off your face, or simply look too small, you’re not alone. At Faded Days, we’ve spent years perfecting sunglasses built for larger heads—and 2025 is our best line-up yet.
Whether you’re after everyday comfort, athletic grip, or iconic aviator style, these are the best sunglasses for big heads in 2025.
Why It’s So Hard to Find Sunglasses for Big Heads
Most brands design for the masses—meaning average-sized frames that just don’t cut it for wider faces. That leads to pressure on your temples, red marks on your nose, and constant adjusting.
We started Faded Days because we were tired of squeezing into frames that didn’t fit.
Today, we’re proud to offer a full range of shades for big heads, from 145mm Large to 165mm XXL, so everyone can find their perfect fit.
Finally—frames that actually fit.
What Makes a Good Fit for Big Heads?
If you’ve got a larger head, you need more than just a slightly bigger frame. You need:
-
Extra-wide frame widths – We offer 145mm, 155mm, and 165mm options
-
Longer arms with a gentle curve – So they hug your head, not squeeze it
-
Lightweight materials – For all-day comfort
-
No pinching at the temples – Our XXL frames stay put without pressure
Want help finding your size? Use our Fitting Guide to match your head to the perfect frame.
