Model wearing Faded Days Gent 165mm XXL prescription glasses for wide heads.

Extra-wide glasses, with a more understated shape 

If you need oversized prescription frames but prefer a shallower shape, The Gent offers a different take on XXL eyewear.

Its 165mm overall width matches Classic XXL, while the lower frame height and wider bridge change how it looks and sits on your face. It’s an alternative for people who need extra width without the taller Classic profile.

Choose your frame colour, then customise your prescription lenses. Standard single vision lenses are included, with bifocal, lens-thickness and coating upgrades available at extra cost.

 Try the fit before ordering 

Your prescription lenses are made specifically for you, so it makes sense to feel confident about the frame first.

UK prescription customers can request up to two black sample frames to try at home for 14 days. Check how they sit on your nose, around your temples and behind your ears, then return them by tracked post before ordering your prescription pair.

The samples are black, regardless of the colour you may later choose.

Use our Fitting Guide as a starting point, or contact us to arrange a try-on and get help choosing your frame.
