To mark seven decades of style, Original Penguin launches a 70th-anniversary capsule that riffs on its archives with a clear nod to mid-century American sportswear. The collection draws from staples like the original Earl Polo and filters them through bright hues, textured knits, and geometric prints.
Rather than replicating the past, the designs present a fresh perspective. Here, varsity-prep meets country club mischief, styled with Pete the Penguin still grinning at the center of it all.
Original Penguin 70th Anniversary Capsule
Standouts from the Original Penguin collection include a textured sweater vest layered over a contrast-trimmed polo, styled with tailored navy shorts and punchy orange sneakers.
Elsewhere, a grid-paneled shirt channels 1960s leisurewear, especially when paired with deep blue trousers and tennis-white sneakers.
The most vivid expression of the brand’s playful DNA arrives in a two-piece resort set splashed in bold, graphic color-blocking. It’s part beachwear, part pop art.
Original Penguin thrives on contrast, pairing clean silhouettes with saturated backdrops and filtering decades of heritage through a casual, modern lens. Pete the Penguin, mascot and mischief-maker since the brand’s beginning, still brings the same charm at 70. He remains easygoing and sharp with a playful edge.
