Drawing from the eyewear fashion of the 1950s, our collection of Original Penguin showcases timeless silhouettes in full-rim and semi-rimless styles, paired with contemporary details. Clubmaster-inspired frames are the focus, in rounded-edge and square variations. Traditional round and aviator shapes are represented for a classically cool profile; modern ovals and rectangles present a more tailored look. This designer eyewear offers frames styles to suit a number of tastes, in shapes made to complement any face.
Thin- and thick-rimmed frames boast an eye-catching array of colors in rich earth tones, bold primary colors, and vibrant patterns. Discover gradient frames styles—darker at the top than at bottom—in a variety of hues, and two-tone frame styles with temples in a different color.
On-trend accents elevate Original Penguin eyewear. A sleek, double bridge offers a sophisticated and distinctly modern profile. Metal studs on the front of the frames and inlay metal arrows on the temple arms add a hint of luxe detail to the eyewear in this collection.
Original Penguin crafts its eyewear in rugged plastics and sturdy metal alloys; they’re lightweight and comfortable, made to wear every day. Enjoy only authentic Original Penguin eyewear from FramesDirect.
Original Penguin made its mark on American fashion in the 1950s with its signature golf shirt and telltale penguin logo, once a favorite of Rat Pack icons Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Today, the brand blends retro-inspired styling with modern design. Our collection of authentic Original Penguin reflects the company motto—Be An Original—in eyewear that is classically cool, but refuses to take itself too seriously.
