Large Face Recommendations

Guest · Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:56 pm Post subject: Large Face Recommendations

Alas, I have a large face, I have used Serengeti large aviators for years, which fit me right, but the aviators are badly dated and I want to try something else that is not aviator in shape. I like the Serengeti Velocity, Oakley Big Square and the like, but is is difficult to fit my face. Any recommendations? Would Velocity work? Maui Jim?

Dear Squinting,

Sunglasses for a larger face is a popular request.

The husband of one of the people in our Eyewear Department has a large face, and he has been our test case for what fits well.

Unfortunately, Serengeti Sunglasses, other than the large Serengeti Aviators, did not fit him well. For average-to-large faces, Serengeti with the S-Flex temple design, like the Serengeti Drivers S-Flex Salto Sunglasses, provide some give for more comfort.

The American Optical Pilot Sunglasses come in a large frame and have a different look than the Aviators.

For a stylish wrap design, the Bolle Snakes Spiral Sunglasses fit like a dream. The Wiley-X SG-1 is also a well fitting large frame.
