Collection: Ray-Ban Extra Large Sunglasses

Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses are made for shoppers who want maximum coverage, a commanding silhouette and a frame that stands up to a wider or longer face without looking undersized. This collection at Ardor Eyewear brings together the brand's most generous fits — think broad Wayfarers, big-lens aviators and substantial injected styles — all genuine, all authorised stock, and all available with free UK delivery. With prices spanning roughly £90 to £210, it is the natural next step up from a standard large fit for anyone who finds regular frames sit a little too snug.

Who should shop Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses?

Extra large frames suit two groups particularly well. The first is anyone with broader facial measurements — a wider forehead, higher cheekbones or a longer face — for whom a mid-size frame can look small and grip at the temples. The second is the fashion-led shopper who simply loves a big, confident lens for its glamour and its sun-blocking coverage. Either way, the point of a Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses frame is proportion: the eyewear should feel balanced on the face, not overwhelmed by it.

Standout models in this edit include the RB2132 New Wayfarer in its larger sizing, the ever-classic RB3016 Clubmaster, the pilot-inspired RB3025 Aviator, and modern shields such as the RB3663, RB4420 and RB3750. Each is a recognisable Ray-Ban shape scaled up for genuine coverage.

Reading the size code on Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses

Every Ray-Ban frame carries a three-number size code, usually printed inside the temple arm, such as 58▢17▢145. Those numbers are:

  • Lens width (58mm here) — for an extra large fit, look for roughly 58mm and above.
  • Bridge width (17mm) — the gap between the lenses that rests on your nose.
  • Temple length (145mm) — the arm that reaches over your ear.

If you already own a pair that fits well, checking these numbers against a new frame is the quickest way to shop confidently online. For a broader comparison of proportions, the full Ray-Ban sunglasses range shows how each shape scales, and the aviator sunglasses collection is a great place to start since teardrop pilots are among the most flattering large silhouettes.

Frame shapes that work in an extra large fit

Not every shape flatters at a bigger scale, so it helps to know which translate well:

  • Aviators — the teardrop lens looks natural when scaled up and softens angular faces.
  • Wayfarers — the trapezoidal shape adds structure and reads as classic rather than trend-led.
  • Square and rectangular shields — modern, sporty and ideal for full coverage.

Angular faces are typically flattered by softer, curved lenses, while rounder faces gain definition from a squarer extra large frame. If you like defined edges, our square sunglasses collection shows the shape across the range, while the round sunglasses edit covers the softer alternative.

Lenses, prescription and materials

Extra large lenses give Ray-Ban's optics room to work. You will find classic G-15 green, warm brown gradients, mirrored finishes and polarised glass across the collection — and because the lens surface is bigger, polarisation delivers noticeably more glare control on the road, beach or ski slope. Frame materials range from warm, colour-rich acetate on the Wayfarer and Clubmaster to lightweight metal and injected nylon on the sportier shields, so you can choose between substantial hand-feel and barely-there comfort.

At Ardor, most of these frames can be fitted with your prescription. We glaze single-vision, varifocal, bifocal, blue-light, tinted and photochromic lenses, turning an extra large Ray-Ban into your everyday prescription sunglasses. Allow around 7–10 working days for prescription glazing. To understand the tinting and lens choices in detail, see our prescription sunglasses collection.

Styling and caring for extra large Ray-Bans

A big frame is a statement, so let it lead the look. Extra large aviators and Wayfarers pair naturally with relaxed tailoring, a good linen shirt or a leather jacket, while sporty shields sit best with technical and casual wardrobes. Warm acetates in tortoiseshell or Havana flatter most complexions and soften a bold silhouette, whereas matte black and gunmetal keep an oversized frame looking sharp and modern. Because the lenses are large, they also offer excellent everyday sun coverage for driving and travel, doubling as practical protection rather than pure fashion.

Caring for a larger frame is straightforward but worth the habit. Clean the generous lenses with a microfibre cloth and proper lens spray rather than a shirt tail, which can scratch coatings over a bigger surface. Store frames in their case when not worn, keep acetate away from prolonged heat such as a car dashboard to prevent warping, and have the hinges and nose pads adjusted if the extra weight of a bigger frame causes any slipping.

Frequently asked questions

What size is considered extra large in Ray-Ban sunglasses?

Extra large frames generally have a lens width of around 58mm or more, along with a wider bridge and longer temples. The exact measurements are printed on the inside of the temple arm as a three-number code.

Will extra large sunglasses suit a smaller face?

They can, if you like the oversized look, but the frame may sit wide of the temples or slide down the nose. If you are between sizes, a large rather than extra large fit is usually more secure on a smaller face.

Are these Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses authentic?

Yes. Ardor Eyewear is an authorised UK stockist, so every frame is genuine Ray-Ban and arrives with its original case and paperwork.

Can I get extra large Ray-Bans with my prescription?

Most models can be glazed to your prescription — single-vision, varifocal, bifocal, blue-light, tinted or photochromic. Prescription orders take about 7–10 working days before dispatch.

Do extra large frames come polarised?

Many do. The larger lens area makes polarised versions especially effective at cutting glare, which is worth considering if you drive a lot or spend time near water.

How much are Ray-Ban extra large sunglasses?

Prices in this collection run from roughly £90 to £210 depending on model, materials and lens type, with prescription glazing quoted separately.
