On the list of overused fashion terms, “updated classic” ranks pretty high. But in the case of the latest product from the Italian eyewear masters at Persol , it feels like a pretty apt descriptor.

This week, the brand released a few new takes on its PO3225S model—more commonly known as the shades Tom Cruise’s character Brian Flanagan wore in the 1988 classic Cocktail . In the film, Flanagan attempts to raise money for business school by working as a shaker-slinging bartender and eventually moves to Jamaica to serve his high-flying cocktails on the beach. The shades are prominently featured during a scene in which Flanagan is being berated by a customer at an all-inclusive resort for a free cocktail. His love interest, Jordan Mooney (played by Elizabeth Shue) runs up to the bar and asks him to help a friend who’s passed out on the beach, and Flanagan and his shades spring into action.

The sunglasses offer a heft and stance that are about as bold as any other memorable pair from that decade: They feature a boxy shape with a straight top bar, while preserving a handful of Persol’s signifiers. The keyhole bridge, taken straight from the 649 sunglasses Steve McQueen helped make famous, is still there, as is the distinctive sword-shaped metal accent that connects the frames to the temple.

From a design perspective, they don’t differ all that much from the ’80s originals. But what this new batch of sunglasses offers instead is the choice of six shades of the brand’s well-known, durable acetate. Right now, you can pre-order polarized versions in black or brown tortoise for $360, or you can choose from black and three other tortoise frames for $310.

Any of these configurations offer classic shape that’ll look sharp for years to come. And while they probably won’t make you a better bartender, they will serve as a wearable conversation piece—whether you’re at the bar, the beach, or anywhere in between. Visit Persol.com to see all six shades .

Tom Cruise’s ‘Cocktail’ Sunglasses Have Been Re-Issued by Persol

We’ll drink to that.

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter
• Share on Pinterest

Whatever you may think of Tom Cruise, his movie characters have displayed wildly influential taste in sunglasses, most notably via classic Wayfarers in Risky Business  and Ray Ban Aviators in Top Gun . 

But far less noticed were the boxy Persol shades worn by bartender Brian Flanagan in 1988’s Cocktail.  While the movie doesn’t exactly hold up 30 years later, the sunglasses still look as sharp as ever, which is why Persol dipped into its ’80s archives for a new reboot of the classic PO3225S model. 

It’s the same move that Persol pulled when it re-issued Steve McQueen’s shades from The Thomas Crown Affair last year, or, come to think of it, when Versace brought back Biggie Smalls’s  favorite frames. 

While the Cocktail  shades may lack the cultural merit that comes with being worn by McQueen or Notorious B.I.G., they still exude some serious retro cool. Just like the original   specs, the straight frame features a three-stripe keyhole bridge inspired by Persol’s hallowed 649 model, and a handsome square silhouette. 

They’re available in havana with green lenses or brown polar lenses; coffee with brown lenses; Sienna with light blue lenses; Beige Tortoise with light green lenses; and black with green or green polar lenses. So you’ve got some choices to mull over.

Fans of Cocktail and/or vintage shades can pick them up for $310 and up at Persol.com.

Italian Eyewear Brand Persol Celebrates the Old with the New

Persol’s latest collection is a timeless extension of the Italian eyewear brand’s reputation for high quality, stylish design. Take a look.

• Author: Teddy Willson

Luxury eyewear brand Persol lives up its namesake in its latest collection and campaign, “For The Sun. Not Only.” The Italian company’s name is a literal translation of the very function of its product—for the sun.

Not only does the new collection celebrate the brand’s trademark, but also its history. Reissued eyewear styles made their way out of the archives and back onto shelves, alongside brand-new summer releases.

Among the reimagined frames is the PO3225S style, which features a boxy design and key bridge inspired one of Persol’s most popular glasses. The style looks like it could have been pulled straight off the set of an ’80s movie, and it basically was. Tom Cruise wore Persol’s PO3225S sunglasses in his 1988 film, “Cocktail.”

Persol’s 649 model , the aforementioned best-seller, got a fresh update with double-layer acetate combined with polar lenses in a variety of colors. Subtle patterns grace the front frame, accentuating the brand’s iconic arrow.

The PO3219V design was introduced to the line, providing another option for those looking for sleek, durable and stylish optical eyewear. The acetate oval glasses are a nod to the ’30s, a decade that saw an increase in the popularity of eyewear simply for the sake of style.

Actors, musicians, models and artists—including Gabriel Kane Day-Lewis, Leyna Bloom, Jeremy McClain , and Sean O’Pry—gathered yesterday for an intimate dinner at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York to celebrate the new Persol launch.

The Clubmaster style of frame is also known as a "Browline" and draws attention to the wearer’s browline by using a dark or contrasting material only along the top portion of the frame and temples.

The lenses are typically held in place by a thin metal frame or what is known as a "supra". Instead of metal holding the base of the lens in place, it's a thin nylon cord which is virtually invisible. Giving the frame the look of the lenses almost defying gravity.

Mission impossible 2 oakley sunglasses

In Mission Impossible II, Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt can be seen wearing a pair of Oakley Romeo sunglasses. These stylish shades help to protect his eyes from the bright sun while he is out on missions. Originally called the "Oscar" it was the world's first 3d sculpted full metal sunglasses frame. It's unique style and shape offered a glimpse into a futuristic-inspired era of eyewear prevalent in fashion as a whole during the turn of the Millenium.

However, styling aside the frame being made from metal created stress points on the lenses, causing them to fracture and splinter. The frame was also criticised for being too large for the average head and too heavy for prolonged wear.

It was discontinued in 2004 and replaced with the Romeo 2 and now launched their Muzm Series Romeo in 2021 which is the 3d printed version of the iconic design.

Mission Impossible ghost protocol sunglasses

What many people don't know is that the glasses worn by Tom Cruise in the movie are actually a custom-made version of the Oakley Windjacket glasses frame.

The original Oakley Wind Jacket sunglasses are designed to be lightweight and comfortable, with a sleek style that is perfect for athletes or anyone who wants to look good while being active. But what makes the Tom Cruise version so special is that it is completely transparent. That's right, those Mission Impossible ghost protocol sunglasses are see-through!

The Wind Jacket™ is a special rendition of the renowned Split Jacket™ sunglasses. A removable strap and snap-in gaskets were added to the Wind Jacket, which was created with motorcycle riders in mind and includes a detachable seal for sealing airflow across your eyes at high speeds. This interchangeable lens design, which comes with SwitchlockTM Technology for fast and easy lens replacement, is must-have equipment for any lifestyle that travels quickly.

This style is no longer in production however there are a few Ducati editions of the Wind Jacket still available. Which is a dark grey version of the transparent frame Cruise wears in MI.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol also sees Tom Cruise sporting an old favourite Persol once again. In the classic Havana colourway, it’s a more rectangular shape compared with the normal aviator style we're used to seeing Cruise wear. This shape seems to suit him better and with the addition of the tortoise print, it's a more sophisticated look for the action star.

Although this isn't the first time we've seen Tom Cruise in Persol sunglasses , it is the first time that we've seen him wearing this particular style and colourway. We hope that this trend continues as we think it suits him.

The 2017 film see Cruise play Barry Seal in "American Made" a former TWA pilot who starts working for the CIA in the early 1980s. The film is based on true events and chronicles Seal's involvement in the Contras scandal.

Tom Cruise American Made sunglasses

Playing yet another pilot requires yet another aviator for the lead sunglasses role. This time it's that of Randolph Engineering. A hot favourite from the likes of Johnny Depp who has been wearing them both on and off screen.

Randolph engineering sunglasses are some of the most popular on the US market. The company has been around for over 40 years and is known for their high-quality products. They offer a wide variety of styles and colours to choose from, so you can find the perfect pair to match your personal style. Whether you're looking for a classic aviator or a more modern style, Randolph has you covered.

A telltale sign of Randolph aviators over others is the signature straight temple arm. Without the usual temple drop; this allows for easy on-off whilst wearing a helmet. And with Randolph's affiliation with the US military, it's easy to see why that would be a requirement. These frames rely on a wraparound temple arm to help the frame grip onto the sides of your head to ensure they don't fall off.

The specific frame worn by Cruise in the film is the Aviator special military edition, with a starting price of $330 and a range of 3 different size to ensure optimal fit.

Mission Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation Tom Cruise Sunglasses

MI 5 sees Ethan Hunt and his team return to take on a rogue group of terrorists called the Syndicate. If you're looking for a pair of sunglasses that will have you looking just as suave as Tom Cruise, then look no further than the L.G.R. luxury brand. These Italian-made beauties are the perfect addition to any outfit, whether you're dressing up or down. The aviator style is classic and timeless, and the black acetate frame is both sleek and sophisticated.

L.G.R was founded in 1990 by two friends with a passion for eyewear and a shared dream of creating their own business. Today, the company is run by Creative Director Massimo Gamba, who oversees all aspects of design and production. Each pair of LGR sunglasses is handmade in Italy using only the finest materials.

L.G.R. feature twice in MI:5 the second time it's the turn of Comoros. This eyeglass frame is designed from sheet metal, making it very thin and lightweight. The dark grey rubber lens rim contrasts against the silver metal frame, giving it a futuristic appearance. Plus, they're fitted with premium Zeiss dark grey sun lenses that offer 100% UV protection. So if you're looking for a pair of sunglasses that can keep up with your active lifestyle (or just want to channel your inner Ethan Hunt) these could be for you.

Conclusion: The Tom Cruise Effect

It's no secret that Tom Cruise is one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. He has a long list of box office hits to his name and is known for his dedication to his craft. But he is almost as famous for his sunglasses habit.

That's right, over the course of his career, Tom Cruise has been spotted wearing a variety of different sunglasses on-screen and off. And it seems that his fans can't get enough of it. In fact, there's even been a phenomenon dubbed "The Tom Cruise Effect" which refers to the increase in sales of the sunglasses worn by the actor in films.

So if you're looking for your next pair of sunnies and trying to choose, Tom Cruise may just be the best person to ask. But of course, we can't all slide into Tom's DMs and ask... So hopefully this article has provided some insight into some of his favourite frames and which ones may be right for you.

Tom Cruise's first wife was 'very present' on Cocktail set, says Gina Gershon: 'We did kiss as much as we could'

The actress recalls meeting Mimi Rogers fresh off her wedding to Cruise on set of the 1988 romance.

Jessica is a staff writer at Entertainment Weekly, where she covers TV, movies, and pop culture. Her work has appeared in Bustle, NYLON, Cosmopolitan, InStyle, and more. She lives in California with her dog.

It seemed like risky business for Gina Gershon to film love scenes with Tom Cruise while his new bride was on set.

Gershon looked back on filming her first ever love scene opposite Cruise on the set of the 1988 romance Cocktail during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live , sharing with host Andy Cohen that her costar's first wife, fellow actress Mimi Rogers , "was very present."

"He had just gotten married," Gershon said, quipping, "But we did kiss as much as we could. Every scene it was like, ‘Should we kiss in the scene?' 'Oh yeah, I think we should kiss.’ It was my first love scene ever.”

"And did he take care of you?" Cohen asked.

"Totally," Gershon replied, calling Cruise a "gentleman" before relaying a familiar anecdote about believing that she had broken his nose while filming the love scene. "At one point, he starts off under the covers, and I told him I was very ticklish, I said, ‘No, no, don’t ever do that.'”

During a take, "I think he wanted a reaction," Gershon said. "And he grabbed my stomach, and I kneed him right in the nose. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I just broke Tom Cruise’s nose.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, you told me.’ I was like, ‘I’m so sorry,’ he was like, ‘No, it was my fault.'”

"He was so overprotective over me. He was great," Gershon added.

Cruise was married to Rogers, known for her roles in films Gung Ho and Someone to Watch Over Me, between 1987 and 1990.

From director Roger Donaldson, Cocktail followed Cruise who played an ambitious young bartender who opens a bar in Jamaica and falls in love with an artist played by Elisabeth Shue . The romance dramedy also starred Bryan Brown, Laurence Luckinbill, and Lisa Banes.

During her appearance on WWHL , Gershon was on hand to promote her new action sci-fi film Borderlands with costar Cate Blanchett , who got a kick out of the latter's Cruise anecdotes. Based on the best-selling video game series of the same name, Borderlands follows a ragtag team of misfits who band together to battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits in the planet of Pandora.

"I wanted to make something totally bonkers and bats--- crazy that has the insanity of  The Fifth Element  or  Escape From New York ," director Eli Roth said in EW's Borderlands cover story for Comic-Con . "I think there's a spirit of anarchy and absurdity in the game. I wanted the movie to have that same spirit as well: a movie completely made by lunatics."

Watch Gershon discuss Cruise in the clip above.
