Large Frame Glasses for Men: Finding the Right Fit

As a man with a larger head and wider face, finding large frame glasses for men was frustrating. Standard frames looked tiny and caused headaches. Here's how I finally found frames that fit.

The Big Head Problem

My face measures 150mm wide, and most standard men's frames (135-140mm) are too small. They'd pinch my temples and look disproportionately small on my face.

My Size Requirements

I need larger measurements than standard:

• 
  
• Lens width: 56-58mm (standard is 52-54mm)
• 
  
• Bridge: 19-20mm
• 
  
• Temple length: 145-150mm
• 
  
• Total frame width: 145-150mm
• 
  

Where to Find Large Frames

I learned to specifically search for "large frame glasses for men" or "wide fit glasses." Online retailers often have better selection than physical stores.

Frame Styles That Work

For larger faces like mine:

• 
  
• Bold, substantial frames - I can carry the weight
• 
  
• Rectangular shapes - More flattering than small rounds
• 
  
• Wider temples - Distribute pressure better
• 
  

The Comfort Difference

Properly sized large frames eliminated:

• 
  
• Temple pressure headaches
• 
  
• Frames that look too small
• 
  
• Constant discomfort
• 
  

If you have a larger head, don't settle for standard sizing. Large frame options exist - you just need to look for them specifically.
