Collection: Extra Large XL Size Glasses

Buy Extra Large XL Size Glasses in the UK | Ardor Eyewear

If standard frames always feel tight at the temples, sit awkwardly on your cheeks, or look a little too small, you’re in the right place. Our extra large xl size glasses collection is for people who need more width and coverage—without sacrificing style.

Ardor Eyewear brings years of optical expertise online, offering authentic branded eyewear as official stockists, with professional advice and customer-first care.

What “XL” means in glasses sizing

Most frames come stamped with a few numbers on the inside of the arm (temple). Those numbers usually refer to lens width and bridge width (in millimetres), which together help determine overall fit.
If you’ve got a wide face, many retailers class “extra-large” as a bigger internal frame width category (often over 136mm as a rough guide). 

A simple rule that helps when browsing: wider faces tend to suit frames with larger lens widths, commonly 56mm and above in many size guides. 

How to choose extra large xl size glasses that actually feel comfortable

Big frames shouldn’t mean sloppy fit. The best XL pairs feel secure on the bridge, sit level, and don’t squeeze at the sides. One useful check from fitting guidance: your eyes should sit centred in the lenses—too wide or too narrow can throw off how the glasses look and feel. 

You’ll see plenty of different styles here—from clean metal rectangles to bold acetate squares—so you can go “smart and subtle” or lean into a statement look.

Quick sizing checks before you buy

• Look at the numbers on your current pair’s temple (lens / bridge / arm length) and use them as your baseline.
  

• If you’re often between sizes, choose frames that give your temples a bit of breathing room—pressure at the sides is usually the first sign a frame is too narrow.
  

• Aim for a fit where your eyes look naturally centred in the lenses (not pushed toward the edges).
  

• Consider lens height too: a wider face often looks better with a little more vertical depth, not just extra width.

FAQs

1) Who should buy extra large xl size glasses?

Anyone who finds standard frames tight at the sides, leaves pressure marks, or sits too narrowly on the face usually benefits from XL sizing.

2) How do I know my frame size in mm?

Check the inside of your glasses arm—most frames list lens width and bridge width in millimetres (often shown like 54-18).

3) Are XL glasses the same as oversized glasses?

Not always. XL is mainly about fit (more width). “Oversized” is often a style choice (bigger look) and may overlap with XL/XXL depending on the frame.

4) Can I return XL glasses if they don’t fit?

Ardor’s refund policy states frames can be returned within 14 days of receiving your order, with specific conditions and exceptions for customised lenses/coatings. 

5) Do XL frames work with prescription lenses?

In most cases, yes. Just keep in mind that prescription lens options and coatings are customised items, and refund terms differ for those add-ons.
