If you were a big fan of the rave music scene of the late 1980s and early 90s – and perhaps even if you weren’t – then you’ll immediately recognise the link to Lyle & Scott’s new Spring/Summer golf apparel collection, which draws its inspiration from the Acid House revolution that swept the nation at that time.
While there are thankfully no smiley face logos, the eye-catching range takes a disruptive style with a bold use of colours and eutrophic tones, as well as deconstructed tartan and nostalgic reinvented embroideries.
The collection includes all the classic golf essentials, including a Hyper Reversible Gilet (£100) that features a contrast print chest panel and Lyle & Scott script logo back, or a fully printed reverse side. Lightweight, windproof and constructed with an eco-friendly water-repellent treatment to provide protection no matter the weather, this gilet also boasts stretch jersey panels and elasticated arm holes and hem, allowing for full range of movement during the swing.
Known for its stylish and timeless polo shirts, the new L&S Jacquard Polo Shirt (£60) provides exceptional moisture management through enhanced breathability and a polyester and Tencel blend for a lightweight and soft feel. It is finished with a tonal rib collar for a smart, but casual, tailored look.
The new knitwear range is headlined by a ¼ Zip Pullover (£80), which features a bold stripe pattern and Lyle & Scott script logo on the sleeve. Made from merino/cotton blend, this pullover provides exceptional thermal regulation through its moisture wicking properties.
The collection also sees the introduction of the Knitted Player range, including the Player Knitted Cardigan (£95), whose player logo is an interpretation of an intarsia design from Lyle & Scott’s back catalogue from 1970s, now adapted as a direct embroidery. Featuring fully fashioned armholes, a contrast rib and branded buttons for a premium look and feel, the entire Knitted Player range is made from a 12-gauge cotton/merino blend that is soft, casual, and suitable for both on- and off-course wear.
