Default Sunglass Recommendations

Well I've been searching for over 2 weeks now and I just can't seem to find any sunglasses that I like. My problem is that I have a large head, hat size is 7 5/8 to show as an example. All the sunglasses that I have tried on make me look like Mr Potato Head since they are all too small. Most of them don't even touch my nose since the sides get stuck because the frame won't fit.

I want a thick framed design that is squarish. Can anyone help me out with any local shops that may help me out. The only brand that I've heard makes big sunglasses was Hogan but I can't find it anywhere either to try them on.

Am I the only one with this problem?????? Where do the other big head people go for sunglasses?

I'm located in Costa Mesa.

P.S. I don't want to spend huge amounts of money for them, under $200 would be nice.

Thanks.

Try Silhouettes - they have a wire frame and expand to the size of head. Very light also.


If that doesn't work, there are also blue blockers. member those?? hehe

Try oakleys. That is all I buy I have a big head too. A lot of there pairs have large frames or the curve of the frames will form better for a person with a large head.

Oakleys look wierd on people with big heads, I could never rock them.

My suggestions are RayBan aviators, 55DSL's/Diesels, or Spys.
