The idea behind Tens Sunglasses is so simple you’ll want to kick yourself for not having come up with it first: instead of sunglass lenses that block out every colour, leaving you with a dulled-out view, Tens provide lenses that naturally filter colours and light, creating an optimum viewing platform. In short, they use a range of lenses to edit everything to look cool before it hits your eyes. Done kicking yourself yet?
Their four lenses – Original, Spectachrome, Boulevard and Tropic High -each provide a different filter experience. For instance, Spectachrome elevates the warm yellows that make everything look like a Wes Anderson film, whereas Boulevard, which was inspired by cool LA sunsets and sunrises, brings out the pinks and oranges of those dusky adventures. All the lenses come in a huge range of frames as well, so you can customise your look with your desired outlook.
The idea came from three photographer buddies who started Tens back in Scotland in 2014 and now lists Sir Richard Branson and ex-Oakley executives among its investors, so it’s safe to say that they’re onto a good thing. Check out the 2020 collection below and head here to shop Tens Sunglasses now:
