Arguably the most popular sunglass style out there is the iconic aviator. Originally developed by Bausch & Lomb (under the name Ray-Ban) for US military pilots in the 1930s, the aviator has since taken the fashion world by storm. Virtually every brand has its own take on this style, but you might have trouble finding the right size for you. Worry not because our biggest-brained Sports Opticians have put their (exceptionally large) noggins together to come up with the best aviator sunglasses for big heads, featuring several brands, including the original Ray-Ban.
