Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses can be like trying to find the last clean beach towel at the end of a summer day—tricky, especially if you have a larger head. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! At Faded Days, we believe everyone deserves sunglasses that fit just right, look fantastic, and don’t feel like they’re squeezing your brain.

Here’s how to pick the perfect shades based on your face shape, with a little help from our collection of extra wide, XL, and XXL sunglasses.

1. Round Face Shape

Got a round face? Let’s add some angles! Square or rectangular frames can help balance out your softer features. And hey, with our big head sunglasses, you won’t have to deal with the dreaded temple squeeze.

Try These:

2. Oval Face Shape

Oval faces are like the Goldilocks of face shapes—almost anything works! The trick is to keep things in proportion, especially if your head is on the larger side.

Try These:

  • XXL Aviator: A classic choice that adds a bit of flair while staying comfy.
  • XXL The Gent: Timeless and versatile, just like you.

3. Square Face Shape

If you’ve got a square face with a strong jawline, you might want to soften things up with rounder frames. Think of it as adding a bit of yin to your yang.

Try These:

  • XXL Classic: Rounded frames that soften your features while keeping you stylish.
  • XXL Aviator: A slight curve to balance out those strong angles.

4. Heart Face Shape

With a wider forehead and a narrower chin, heart-shaped faces benefit from frames that add a bit of width to the lower half of your face. It’s all about balance, baby!

Try These:

  • XXL Aviator: Perfect for adding width where you need it.
  • XL Classic: Rounded lenses that keep things stylish and balanced.

5. Diamond Face Shape

For those with a diamond face shape, it’s all about highlighting those gorgeous cheekbones without overpowering your features. Oval and rimless frames are your friends.

Try These:

  • XL Sport: Athletic and flattering, just what you need.
