Start with fit - then choose the look
Begin with comfort at the bridge and how the temples sit; once those feel right, the silhouette is easy. In this edit you’ll see round and geometric shapes in mixed metal-acetate builds. Typical lens widths cluster around 58-61 mm with 15-17 mm bridges, giving a confident, slightly roomier feel; sizes can vary by model.
City-ready brightness control - Lightec sunglasses
Built with branded sun lenses, these frames keep glare manageable while preserving crisp detail; pick darker tints for midday streets and lighter tints for overcast days. Some models in the broader line use polarized filtering.
Low-bridge stability and temple comfort
For low-bridge wearers who want sunglasses that don’t slip, look for adjustable pads and a slightly narrower bridge so the frame settles higher and stays put. If the sides feel tight, widen the lens width a touch or have an optician relax the temple angle; small tweaks often relieve temple pressure without changing the look.
Materials and care. Metal fronts with acetate touches stay light yet sturdy; store them in a case when not in use. Listings typically include a protective case or pouch - check “What’s included” on the product page before you buy.

FAQ
What makes Lightec sunglasses feel so light?
Lightec focuses on minimalist metal builds with slim components, so the frames sit lightly without feeling flimsy. Mixed metal-acetate construction keeps weight down and balance steady, while spring-style hinges add flexibility that helps the temples conform without pinching during longer wear sessions.
Do Lightec frames run large or small?
This selection skews slightly roomy, with lens widths commonly around the high-50s to low-60s in millimeters. If you prefer a snugger feel for a narrow face, target the smaller lens widths and check bridge size; a 15-17 mm bridge often suits medium faces, while lower numbers can stabilize on petite or low-bridge noses.
Will these suit a low nose bridge?
Often, yes. Look for models with adjustable nose pads and a slightly narrower bridge so the frame rests higher and resists slipping. If you’re between sizes, prioritize bridge comfort first, then lens width.
Are Lightec lenses polarized?
Some Lightec sunglasses are made with polarized filtering, but availability can vary by model and timing. Use product pages to confirm lens details on the style you like. If you prefer polarization for glare-heavy conditions, compare options across the site and check back as assortments update periodically.
How can I relieve temple pressure with metal sunglasses?
First, ensure the lens width isn’t too narrow for your head. A boutique or local optician can gently relax the temple angle or adjust tip curvature for relief. Small changes in the bend behind the ear often make a big difference without altering how the frames look from the front.
Which face shapes work with round or geometric styles?
Round frames soften angular features, while geometric lines add definition to softer or rounder faces. If your goal is balance, try contrast: round on square or angular faces, and geometric on round or oval. Match lens width to your head width so proportions look intentional rather than oversized.
Can I add prescription sun lenses to Lightec frames?
Many metal full-rim frames can be fitted with prescription sun lenses by a qualified optician. Bring the exact model and your prescription so they can confirm lens compatibility, edge thickness, and tint recommendations for your use, whether driving, city walking, or weekend outdoor time.
What comes with these sunglasses?
Most listings include a protective case or pouch, which helps the frames stay looking new. Always check the “What’s included” section on the specific product page so you know exactly what arrives with your order and how to store the frames between wears.
Are you an authorized retailer for Lightec?
Yes. ModaFrames is an authorized retailer for Lightec. Buying through an authorized retailer helps ensure authentic product, proper packaging, and access to brand-aligned support if you ever need service or parts for your frames.
How do I choose the right size quickly?
Use the size triplet in millimeters: lens-bridge-temple. Start with lens width for overall scale, then check bridge for stability and temple length for behind-the-ear comfort. If sunglasses slide, try a narrower bridge; if they pinch, step up lens width or have an optician relax the temple angle.
