When it comes to sunglasses, the right fit can elevate your style and your confidence. But for individuals with broad or wide faces, finding sunglasses that sit comfortably without looking too small or tight can be a real challenge. The answer? Wide frame sunglasses—stylishly designed to offer a perfect blend of proportion, coverage, and comfort.
At ROYALTAIL, we understand that one size doesn’t fit all. Our wide frame collection is crafted specifically for those with broader facial features, combining functional fit with bold aesthetics. In this guide, we’ll explore what makes wide frame sunglasses ideal for broad faces, how to choose the best pair for your needs, and why ROYALTAIL’s expertly designed frames are your best solution.
Understanding Broad Face Shapes
People with broad faces typically share these characteristics:
-
A wider forehead, cheekbones, or jawline
-
More horizontal face width than average
-
Often accompanied by strong or angular facial features
-
Standard sunglasses may feel tight or appear too narrow
For individuals with these features, the key is to find frames that are wide enough to accommodate facial proportions without pinching at the temples or sitting awkwardly on the nose. Wide frames offer both aesthetic balance and practical comfort, making them the ideal solution for broader faces.
Why Wide Frame Sunglasses Matter
✅ Proper Fit
Sunglasses that are too small can cause discomfort behind the ears, leave red marks on the nose, or slide off frequently. Wide frames ensure the sunglasses sit securely and comfortably.
✅ Better Visual Balance
Frames that match your facial width create a cohesive look that flatters your natural proportions rather than fighting them.
✅ Improved Style
Instead of looking squeezed into trendy frames, wide-frame sunglasses let your features shine—adding boldness, sophistication, and presence.
✅ UV Protection with Coverage
Wider lenses naturally provide more sun protection for the sides of your eyes and temples.
Features to Look For in Wide Frame Sunglasses
When choosing sunglasses for a broad face, consider these key elements:
✔️ Frame Width
Look for frames with a lens width of 55mm or more and total frame width exceeding 140mm for optimal comfort.
✔️ Extended Temples
Longer temple arms help prevent squeezing and keep your sunglasses comfortably secured.
✔️ Balanced Lens Height
Taller lenses work well on wide faces, providing proportion and stylish coverage.
✔️ Strong Bridge Support
A properly positioned bridge ensures the sunglasses stay centered without sliding.

Wide Face? Here’s How to Know Your Fit
Here’s a simple way to check if you have a broad face:
-
Your temple-to-temple measurement is 140mm or wider
-
Most standard sunglasses feel tight or sit too high
-
You’ve noticed that small glasses give you a “pinched” look
-
Wide hats and large accessories fit you comfortably
ROYALTAIL Tip: Measure the width of your current sunglasses and compare to our frame specs online to ensure the right fit.
Lens & Frame Finish Recommendations for Broad Faces
✔️ Go for Matte or Textured Finishes
They reduce bulk and balance frame visibility.
✔️ Opt for Bold Tints or Gradients
Larger lenses allow more fun with lens finishes without overwhelming the face.
✔️ Don’t Shy Away from Color
Color-blocked temples or dual-tone frames help create focus and symmetry.
