How to choose glasses by shape of face? You have your child's or teen's new prescription, you're excited for them to see the world more clearly, and are thrilled to join them in the process of picking out their favorite pair of stylish glasses. But where do you even start? How do you know what the best glasses shape for their face?

We've put together a guide to help you choose the best glasses by shape of face!

KIDS AND TEEN GLASSES FOR ROUND FACES

Faces with soft angles, a lightly curved jawline, and a jawline that is slightly narrower than the forehead.

• Rectangular shaped frames
• Frames with a lens width that measures larger than the lens height

• Make a round face appear longer

KIDS AND TEEN GLASSES FOR OVAL FACES

Faces with balanced proportions, high cheekbones, and a chin that is slightly narrower than the forehead.

• Walnut-shaped frames
• Frames that do not have an overly-wide lens width, or an overly-tall lens height

• Maintain the natural balance and proportions of an oval face

KIDS AND TEEN GLASSES FOR SQUARE FACES

Faces with angular features, a strong jawline, and cheekbones that are about the same width as the forehead.

• Narrow, circular shaped frames
• Frames that are less boxy, or those with softer curves and edges

• Soften the angles of a square shaped face

KIDS AND TEEN GLASSES FOR HEART SHAPED FACES

Faces with high cheekbones, a wider forehead that narrows down to a small, defined chin, and a sharply tapered jawline.

• Symmetrical frames that are the same width at the top and the bottom of the frame
• Frames that are lighter in color or material

• Reduce the width of the forehead and provide a wider feel to the bottom of the face
