Sunglasses for big, wide head

Hi I'm a male with a big head. XL or XXL in terms of hat sizes, which is why I almost never wear hats as they almost all look bad on me. I'd say my head is top-heavy so pretty wide at the part which fits the glasses.

I'm wondering:
1) What glasses would suit me best?
I'm thinking glasses like these as they are wide and have wide lenses too: https://www.framesdirect.com/product_elarge_images/Wiley-x-g…
I think aviators for example wouldn't suit me as my big head would make them feel like they're only covering 90% across.

2) Where do I buy such wide-fitting glasses?

    My mate has a huge head and he has electric sunnies which are similar to Oakley's. I think he said they do an XL size cos his are huge

    Ray-Ban Large Aviators?

      Always thought raybans were for people who had short heart-shaped faces.

        That does not describe my own head. Ray-Ban Large Aviators.

          +1 for the aviators… I have a fat (not fat, more big boned) head, and the aviator style does the trick.

        there are all different sizes for the same models.
        Usually the measure like 52, 54, 56.

        Go toa store like OPSM and try a heap on, doesnt mean you buy from them.
        Ask them what size do they think you need.

    Quay Australia do sunglasses for wider faces. I saw vlogs about them and they are pretty big (as in popular) in the US now.

    Have a try of the Oakley EV Zero sunnies.
    They don't have a hard frame around the lenses, so it fit my wide head, whereas the other models just squeeze my head and cause headaches.

    Edit - wait for 50% off at Sunglass Hut and then buy from Myer and pay with discounted gift cards…
