Oversized Sunglasses: Who Can Wear Them?

Oversized sunglasses never go unnoticed. They are a bold and decisive style statement, but they do not suit everyone.

In this guide, we will see who can wear oversized sunglasses, how to match them, when to avoid them, and which models to choose from those available on optigroup.tech.

What is an oversized sunglass?

A sunglass is "oversized" when:

• It has a very wide lens (both in width and height)
• It covers a significant part of the brow-cheek area
• It has a very strong visual presence (even in a minimal version)

This type of sunglass is often associated with elegant, vintage, glamorous, or runway looks.

⚠️ Be cautious with very small or triangular faces
In these cases, opt for more compact oversized styles or slightly square shapes, to avoid "suffocating" the features.
