Choosing Best Sunglasses For Big Heads

Before going to details, you need to keep in mind that if you choose sunglasses that are too small for your head, there is no going back. The temples on a frame can't be loosened as much as they can be tightened. So, you're just stuck feeling uncomfortable as long as you have the glasses on. Therefore, know the glasses for your face shape first then the rest is history. Now, come on! Open your notebook and start jotting down these 4 steps of choosing sunglasses for wider faces.

Let's pause for a minute before you leave for your shopping spree, Buying sunglasses for wide faces will require some simple measurements to understand what frame shapes and size you will require. Let's check out what you will have to measure before buying sunglasses:

Measuring our face width or the size of our head is not something we commonly do. You probably don't even know how to do it. But, figuring out the measurement is essential to know the ideal size of the sunglasses frames. We want things to fit perfectly. So, what is the easiest way to measure your face width? Grab a flexible tape measure, pen, paper and stand in front of a mirror.

As you're taking the measurement, make sure to place the tape measure flat against your face for the best and accurate results. Keep a straight face and measure your forehead at the widest point, meaning from hairline to hairline, and record the measurement in millimetres. Once you've found out the exact measurement of your face width, you're ready for the next thing!

Welcome to the next level of eyewear fitting! If you have an old pair of glasses lying around, you can easily measure the temple-to-temple distance to determine the right frame size for you. But what if you don't have any glasses to measure?

Don't worry, you can still get an accurate measurement using just your face. Simply measure the distance between your temples with a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string.

Once you have your measurement, if it's larger than 140mm, then you should be looking for a wide frame. Don't settle for ill-fitting eyewear that slides down your nose bridge or feels uncomfortable. With the right measurements, you can find the perfect pair of glasses that fit comfortably and look great. So, start your search today and find your perfect fit!

As you may expect, lens width is the horizontal distance between either edge of the lens. The simplest way to find out the best lens width for your sunglasses is by checking an old pair of sunglasses that already fit you comfortably. You will find this measurement inside the temples of the adult sunglasses. We're talking about the three engraved numbers on the inside. These represent the size of your sunglasses. The first number is the one we want which is the the lens width (in millimetre). Sunglasses size guide can really help you during this step.

Generally, the sunglasses that fit your head's width must have wide lenses enough for you. You want your lens width to be just wide so that your eyes can be centred behind the lenses of your sunglasses.

If you choose to buy short temple arms, you will have a tight-fitting frame. On the contrary, long temple arms will slide right off your face while wearing it. So the question here is, how would you find the adult temple lengths?

The third number on the arms will give you the measurement in millimetres. In this case, you can use a tape measure or a ruler to get the distance between the back of your ear to the front of your face. Does that answer your question?

For those who don't know, the bridge distance can be defined as the space or gap between the inside of one lens to the other. This is a very important number to get right. Should you happen to measure it incorrectly, then the bridge size can make for a very ill-fitted pair of stylish sunglasses.

A small bridge might tweak your nose, which may cause your glasses to sit too high on your face, whereas an oversized bridge will cause the frames to glide down your nose bridge. Once again, the easy way to get this measurement done is by checking a pair of sunglasses you already own. The bridge distance is the second number in this regard. The estimation will help you know at least which glasses should you consider if you haven't previously owned any.

Here's what you can do, get something flexible like – a twist tie and bend it diagonally on the top of your nose bridge. Remove it and use tape or ruler to measure the distance between the segments where the bridge or pads will sit. If you don't have a pair of old sunglasses, it would be better to schedule an eye doctor appointment, and s/he will help you get an accurate measurement. The fun will begin when you have the size in hand.

There are many sunglasses available, but you may not find them all available in a large size. When browsing for eyewear, you have to pay close attention to the size of the frames. Since big and oversized sunglasses are trending these days, it's become easier to find a variety of fashionable sunglasses that are ideal for big heads. We recommend going for a pair of aviators or classic square sunglasses part of men's sunglasses, as these styles are often made wide enough for big heads and will add an edge to your look. As for women, a pair of bold cat-eye sunglasses will make for a very fashionable option as the winged frame shape gives an effect of lifting and elongate the face!

You're also looking for a pair of sunglasses with a fashionable design that suits your taste and style. Sometimes, you may fall in love with a pair, but you won't really know how they look or fit before trying them on. If you're shopping in a store, don't hesitate to try on as many sunglasses as you like before buying. We need to keep up with the game!

But, if you're shopping online, you can't really try on the sunglasses before making any purchases. Unless the website has a virtual try-on tool. If not, what can you do? Here's a simple solution: measurements! The frame measurements indicated for each pair will give you some sort of a clue. Or, you can refer to the size guide. Even so, you can use the numbers found on an old frame of yours.  

When you eagerly unbox a new pair of sunglasses, don't panic if you tried them on and you were doubting their vibe. Truth is, sunglasses don't fit perfectly right out of the box, even if they are the right size. They may need a bit of adjusting to get the best fit.

This happens because our facial features are unique and never perfectly symmetric. So, each pair of glasses needs to get adjusted accordingly. When that happens, you can try to make simple changes to your sunglasses frames at home or visit your local optical shop and have an optician adjust them.
