Sunglasses for Big Heads: XXL Frames Designed to Actually Fit
Why We Specialize in Sunglasses for Big Heads
Our sunglasses for big heads are designed from the ground up, starting at a true 165mm width. Unlike generic sizing, every pair here is built exclusively for large heads and wide faces. At Faded Days, we’ve been making sunglasses since 2012, and in 2019 we pivoted to focus only on sunglasses for big heads. That singular focus is why we’ve become the trusted name in this niche.
Over the years, tens of thousands of customers have found comfort, balance, and style here when every other option let them down. Once someone finally gets into the right size, returns are rare, and loyalty is high — because we are the first brand that delivers sunglasses made for big heads, not adapted from smaller sizes.
What Makes Our XXL Sunglasses Different
- True XXL width (165mm): Larger than nearly every other option on the market.
- Proportional design: Longer arms and appropriately sized nose bridges for balance and comfort.
- Polarized lenses standard: Glare-free vision included with every pair.
- FDA impact-tested lenses: Independent safety testing on all lenses.
- Customer-inspired styles: Many of our designs are created from feedback from people with big heads.
- 10-day try-on period: We know you’ve been let down before. If they don’t feel right, send them back.
Other brands may label their products as “oversized” or “XL,” but the numbers tell the story. Most max out around 150mm wide. For someone with a truly large head, that still feels small. We are the only high-quality brand consistently offering 165mm XXL sunglasses designed to solve the fit problem for people with big heads.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sunglasses for Big Heads
What are the best sunglasses for big heads?
The best sunglasses for big heads are purpose-built at a true XXL size — around 165mm wide — with proportional temple length and appropriately sized nose bridges. Unlike standard frames stretched a few millimeters, XXL sunglasses are designed to fit comfortably without pinching or slipping.
How do I know if I need XXL sunglasses?
If your sunglasses pinch your temples, squeeze behind your ears, or constantly flex outward, they’re too small. People with wide faces often need 165mm XXL sunglasses. Our Fit Tool can help confirm the right size.
Why don’t most sunglasses fit big heads?
Most eyewear companies design frames for regular head sizes. Even “XL” versions often max out around 150mm wide, which is not enough for large heads. Our sunglasses for big heads start at 165mm, solving that gap.
What sunglasses look best on wide faces?
Structured frames like aviators, rectangular classics, and sport wrap styles provide balance for wide faces. Our XXL collection includes all of these styles, built proportionally for large heads.
Are 56mm or 58mm sunglasses big enough for large heads?
No. Lens width measurements like 56mm or 58mm don’t equal overall frame width. Even large lenses may sit in a frame that’s under 150mm wide. For big heads, you need a full frame measurement around 165mm.
Can small sunglasses be adjusted to fit a big head?
Not effectively. Bending arms outward or forcing a smaller frame can cause discomfort and instability. The real solution is starting with frames designed as XXL sunglasses for big heads.
Do polarized sunglasses for big heads exist?
Yes — in our collection, every single pair comes with polarized lenses as standard. This ensures glare-free vision without paying extra for an upgrade.
What makes Faded Days the authority on sunglasses for big heads?
We’ve been in business since 2012, and since 2019 we’ve focused exclusively on big head sunglasses. With tens of thousands of customers, very low return rates, and extremely high repeat orders, we’ve proven that we’re the only brand specializing in this niche at scale.

With polarized lenses standard, FDA-tested safety, same-day shipping, and a 10-day try-on guarantee, we’ve built the definitive collection of sunglasses for big heads.
