On Our Radar: Penguin Shades

June 18, 2007

Not new to the sunglasses scene, Penguin shades have lived under the radar but thanks to fans like Amy Winehouse and Brit bad girl Peaches Geldof, I suspect a boom is near. These vintage-inspired frames are fun and fabulous - and affordable to boot.

These oversized lovelies are currently on sale for $113, from $150. Be sure to check out their other styles ranging from bold Dirk Diggler-esque shapes for the boys and sexy-in-my-Cabrio rims for the girls.

I got my shades and I do love them. I have brown ones with quite a thick frame. I love the design of penguins.. just looks very different n vintagey n edgy.

I'm a fan of oversized sunglasses, but these are just not for me.

Those are real cute, but I don't think the style would go with my face shape :(

Very cute, I've never heard of the brand. I really like the pink and brown ones. I must protest though, Peaches is hardly a bad girl, she just likes to think she is.

I like them but I can't wear them either. I have a really tiny face, and they look gigantic on me!

maaaaan these are sooo cute and colorful, but sadly I can't wear them! I can't wear glasses that have the nose pads like that! =( they tend to give me bad headaches cuz they sit on my sinuses.I have to always wear the kind that have the nose part as a part of the actual glasses frame, if that makes sense? They don't put so much pressure on my face. =/

I like them, but can't wear oversized shades, my face is very small.

I must be among the very few people who do not find these shades very good looking although I love oversized ones. I would most definitely not buy a pair of these and rather wait and save up to have enough for a more expensive pair of shades that really appeals to me.
