Stylish RX Sunglasses That Look Good in Team Photos
Share
Whether it’s after a tough tournament win or a casual league night meetup, nothing captures the moment like a good team photo. And if you're wearing prescription sunglasses, you want them to serve double duty: clear, performance-ready vision on court—and standout style in every picture.
At Blinded Wear, our RX sunglasses are designed not just for high-intensity play, but also for confidence when the cameras come out. In this blog, we’ll highlight RX frames that nail both performance and polish, plus give you travel tips, photo-friendly lens picks, and care advice to keep your eyewear always camera-ready.
Why Style Matters in RX Sports Eyewear
Your prescription sports sunglasses shouldn’t force you to choose between form and function. Whether you're a team captain organizing photo ops or just someone who wants to look sharp post-match, your RX frames should fit your personal style, your sport, and your group’s vibe.
Let’s be real—tournament photos live online forever. You deserve to look good in them.
What Makes a Pair of RX Sunglasses "Photo-Ready"?
Not all sunglasses photograph equally well. When choosing the right RX shades for team photos, look for:
✅ Clean lines & defined shapes (helps faces pop in group shots)
✅ Matte or subtle shine finishes (reduce reflection, look pro on camera)
✅ Color tones that complement your team kit or skin tone
✅ Lenses that don’t glare or hide your eyes entirely
✅ Non-polarized for depth in photos and gameplay (all Blinded Wear lenses are non-polarized for this exact reason)

Best Lenses for Team Photos
Photos—especially outdoors—can make or break how your lenses look. Here’s a quick rundown of the best options for team photos:
-
Clear Lenses – Great for night games or indoor shots
-
Transition Lenses – Excellent for photos at dusk or variable lighting
-
Grey Tints – Balanced and classic, best for midday or sunny tournaments
-
No polarization – Crucial! Polarized lenses can darken your eyes in photos or cause distortion. All Blinded Wear lenses are non-polarized by design to keep your expression visible and your depth perception sharp.

How to Pose With RX Sunglasses for Better Team Photos
Even with the perfect pair, how you pose matters. Here's how to make sure your shades work for you:
✅ Tilt chin slightly down – reduces glare off lenses
✅ Step slightly forward in group shots – shows frames better
✅ Smile with your whole face – great frames emphasize facial structure
✅ Hold your paddle naturally – no forced or awkward grips
✅ Clean your lenses beforehand – smudges show in HD
Pro Tip: Pack a soft cloth or anti-fog wipe before tournament day. It makes a difference in your photos and your match.
A Note on Travel, Heat & Photo Days
Sometimes big matches and photo ops mean traveling to new venues or hot climates. Lens warping can ruin your style (and your clarity). That’s why you should always:
-
Store RX sunglasses in a hard case
-
Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use
-
Avoid leaving them in hot vehicles
-
Take advantage of Blinded Wear’s lifetime protection plan if anything does go wrong
