Sunglasses for Big Heads: Our Top Picks for 2025

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.

Perfect Fit! - 62cm Circumference Head

I have a 62cm circumference head so have always struggled to find any glasses that fit my head. However, The Scholar XXL glasses fit perfectly and look great too - over the moon with them!

Great quality, just the job

Fits my massive noggin, and now I can see. Sweet.

Love it—thanks so much! Glad the fit was spot on for your massive noggin, and even better that you can see in style now. Sweet indeed! 😎️

Shocking really that you have to pay nearly £15 for a case to sunglasses that are not cheap surely this should come as standard!

Thanks for sharing your feedback—we really appreciate it. We’re glad you chose Faded Days, but sorry to hear you were disappointed about the case.

Our sunglasses are built to fit bigger heads with premium lenses and frames, and to keep the price of the glasses themselves as accessible as possible, the case is sold separately. That way customers can decide whether they’d like to add one or not.

That said, your point is completely valid—we’ll definitely take it on board as we continue to improve our range and bundle options.

Thanks again for the honest feedback. 😎🖤

I have finally found them.

Just as described. Superb quality sunshine spectacles for the large head. I used the handy online guide. It confirmed I have a giant swede, sized X,XL. Then it was as simple as selecting a style, I went for 'Scholar' because it suggests my excessive dome might be housing a super sized brain. I bought them and they satisfied me. You should buy them too.

Tom, this is gold! 😂 Glad the Fitting Guide confirmed your “giant swede” status and that The Scholar is now doing justice to your super-sized brain. The photo is class—definitely rocking that “intellectual but dangerous” look.

Superb quality for superb craniums—that’s the Faded Days way. Appreciate the review, and love the endorsement! 😎

Great quality and service

I've finally found shades that have the right proportions that fit my head. The quality is excellent. Amazing service from start to finish.

Thanks so much, Neil! We’re thrilled the Sport 165mm XXL delivered the perfect fit and that the quality lived up to expectations. Great to hear the service hit the mark too—that’s what we aim for every time. Appreciate you choosing Faded Days! 😎
