How to Choose Glasses for Big Noses if You're a Man

Choosing the perfect sunglasses can be a challenge, especially if you have a big nose. But don't worry, here at Bassol Optics we are here to help you find those glasses that will look great on you and make you feel comfortable and stylish.

Let's dive into this world of options and check out what's best for you.

1. The Power of Proportion

First, let's talk about proportion. Sunglasses are a key accessory that can completely change your look. If you have a big nose, ideally look for glasses that maintain a balance on your face.

Avoid glasses that are too small, as they will make your nose look more prominent. Opt for glasses with larger, wider frames. This creates visual harmony and makes everything look in proportion.

Larger frames are not only a fashion trend, but they also work great for balancing a prominent nose. Look for glasses that cover a good part of your face, this way you will divert attention and get a more harmonious look.

You can use these types of models:

  • Oakley OO9406 SUTRO 940601 37With high quality materials, they have a sporty design that is perfect for outdoor activities, whether it's cycling, running or just strolling around town.
  • Cazal 6020/3 001 BLACK-GOLDCazal 6020/3 001 BLACK-GOLD: These are an excellent choice for those looking for a pair of sunglasses that not only offer exceptional performance, but also have a modern and attractive design.

2. Flattering Shapes and Frames

If in addition to having a large nose, you have an elongated face, you're in luck. Square or rectangular frames are your best allies. This type of glasses help to give more width to your face, balancing the proportions. You can also opt for aviator glasses, which never go out of style and tend to suit most faces. These glasses, with their iconic shape and timeless style, are perfect for you.

  • Dita FLIGHT SEVEN DTS111 57 02This classic style is known for its sophistication and ability to complement a wide variety of looks, from casual to formal.
  • Thom Browne TBS112 GREY 52: The clean lines and high-quality finish make these glasses a standout piece in any fashion collection.

3. Colors and Materials.

The color and material of your glasses can make a big difference. If you have a large nose, frames in dark colors or matte shades can be an excellent choice. These colors tend to be more discreet and don't draw as much attention. On the other hand, metallic or very shiny frames can make your nose look bigger.

Opt for lightweight and comfortable materials such as titanium or acetate, which not only add durability, but also provide all-day comfort without adding extra visual weight.

Acetate glasses are a good choice because they offer a wide variety of styles and colors. In addition, these frames tend to be thicker, which helps balance facial proportions.

  • Persol PO0649 95/31 54Persol PO0649: With a classic and elegant shape, these glasses are perfect for those who appreciate retro style. The frame is thick and sturdy, giving them an air of authenticity and durability.

4. Personal Style

The most important thing is that you feel good in what you wear. Your personal style should be reflected in your sunglasses. If you like more daring styles, go ahead and try those glasses with flashy frames. If you prefer something more classic, go for aviators or wayfarers. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident with your choice.

5. The Importance of Fit

Fit is crucial, especially if you have a large nose. The glasses should sit comfortably on the bridge of your nose without slipping.

Look for glasses that have adjustable nose pads, these will allow you to customize the fit for comfort. Also, make sure the temples are not too tight, as this can cause discomfort after prolonged wear.
