Why Choose Oversized Glasses

Oversized glasses have made a significant comeback, offering a bold fashion statement while providing ample lens coverage. Before diving into this trend, it's helpful to understand what makes them so appealing and what to consider when selecting your perfect pair.

Pros & Cons of Oversized Glasses

Large frame glasses are popular with Hollywood celebrities, models, and social media stars. Trendy and fun, oversized prescription glasses can anchor an entire look. Here are several reasons to consider this style:

They’re available in many different frame shapes, so you can always find a pair that complements your face.
Large prescription lenses, like those in oversized prescription glasses, cover a wide field of view, improving the quality of your peripheral vision
Oversized glasses are hot right now, so they’re a fashionable, on-trend choice.

There can be drawbacks to wearing oversized glasses, including:

They aren’t practical for physical activities like hitting the gym. You’ll want a second, smaller pair (or contact lenses) on hand if you live an active lifestyle.
It’s possible to choose glasses that are too big for your face, so it’s important to know your frame measurements.
You will get noticed, especially if the frames feature bold colors; they’re not the best pick for people who prefer subtle flourishes of style.

Are Oversized Glasses Right For Me?

Since they come in all shapes and colors, anyone can look good in large eyeglasses.

Finding the right pair depends on two things:

Face shape: People with square faces often look good in round frames, while people with round faces usually look best in rectangular frames. Learn more about which frame shape is best for your face.

Bridge and temple measurements: Oversized glasses are supposed to look big in proportion to your face; they shouldn’t be sliding down your nose. If you have a pair of glasses handy, check the temple arms for three numbers. The first is the lens width, the second is the bridge distance, and the third is the temple length. You need new glasses with bridge and temple measurements close to what’s been comfortable in the past. The lens will be wider, since that’s the whole point! No glasses? Your eye doctor can take measurements during your next appointment.

Eyeconic’s Virtual Try-On tool allows you to preview how you’ll look in many oversized frames. We also offer free shipping and returns, so there’s no harm done if you have second thoughts—but we’re pretty sure you’ll rock the large lenses.

Popular Frame Shapes

You have choices when it comes to big glasses, including:

Round: These provide lots of coverage and scream vintage Hollywood.
Cat-Eye: Me-wow! Cat-eye frames are distinctive in their own right. Supersizing vintage-style glasses is sure to get you noticed.
Oval: Many people choose to make a statement with oversized oval glasses. They’re an especially good choice if you have a rectangular face shape.
Square: Pull off a futuristic, fashionable look with this shape.
