Abacus 2026: The best summer styles for golfers

The first tee shot is still in the morning dew, the sun is slowly climbing over the horizon - and the right outfit turns a round of golf into a real experience. Anyone who not only plays well on the course, but also looks good and feels good all round, knows that golf clothing is far more than just a dress code. It is a tool. The Swedish brand Abacus has long understood this and its 2026 summer collection once again proves that performance, style and a sense of responsibility are not opposites - but rather reinforce each other on the course.

Playing sustainably - the philosophy behind the collection

Before we look at the individual pieces, it's worth taking a look at what holds the collection together at its core: Sustainability. At Abacus, this is not a marketing promise, but a consistent principle. The majority of the summer collection is made from recycled polyester - a material that does not compromise on comfort or functionality. In addition, Abacus does not use any PFCs (perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals), which have long been considered standard in the textile industry but are known to be harmful to the environment.

For golfers, this means that they are not only wearing high-quality functional clothing, but are also making a contribution to more sustainable golf with their purchase decision. A clear conscience when teeing off - that's worth more than any Birdie.

When it gets warm: Polos and tops for women

Summer rounds of golf place special demands on outerwear: it should be lightweight, offer freedom of movement, wick away moisture - and cut a good figure at the same time. The women's polos in the Abacus 2026 summer collection meet all of these requirements with a remarkable variety of cuts and designs.

If you like it particularly airy, go for the sleeveless Victoria Sleeveless Polo or the Bovey Sleeveless Polo. Both feature Abacus' tried-and-tested DryCool technology, which reliably wicks moisture away from the body and ensures a pleasantly fresh feel - even when temperatures rise on the pitch. The stretchy recycled polyester fits like a second skin and does not restrict movement when swinging. The Victoria polo sets feminine accents with scalloped details on the shoulders and collar as well as a flattering V-neck, while the Bovey polo scores with a sporty, elegant striped design.

For those who want a little more sleeve length and even more style, the Victoria Drycool polo comes in a cupsleeve version - a model that also offers UV protection and is therefore particularly suitable for long sunny days on the pitch. However, the highlight of the women's polo range is the Niblick cupsleeve polo: its viscose/polyester blend gives it a particularly soft, high-quality feel. Contrasting stripes on the cuffs and stand-up collar as well as five decorative shell-look buttons with sparkling rhinestones make it a polo that cuts a fine figure even after the round - whether in the clubhouse or at dinner.

The men's look: classic, sporty, functional

Men will also get their money's worth in the 2026 summer collection - with a sophisticated range of polo shirts that cover a variety of material approaches and style preferences.

Those who prefer a more natural feel will find their companion in the Hillside polo: the blend of 66% cotton and 34% polyester combines the pleasant feel of a classic cotton shirt with the functional benefits of DryCool technology. A polo that feels familiar yet performs in a modern way.

For golfers who appreciate maximum freedom of movement, we recommend the Spey Drycool polo made from a polyester/elastane blend. The high elastane content ensures that the polo moves with every swing - and the sporty contrast collar with matching cuffs gives the look a fresh touch. The Cruit Drycool Polo and the Headfort Drycool Polo, on the other hand, are made from 100% recycled polyester and appeal to golfers who are particularly concerned about sustainability. The Headfort also offers UV protection - a practical plus for sunny rounds on exposed courses.

All men's polo shirts feature DryCool technology, quick-drying stretch material and a completely PFC-free finish. The choice of colors - from classic navy to a fresh light blue to a bold pink - makes it easy to find your own style.

Underneath: The perfect shorts for warm rounds

A good pair of golf shorts is more than just a pair of shorts - it's a statement of comfort and style. The Bovey shorts for women show how it's done. Their material mix of viscose, polyester, nylon and spandex feels light and comfortable, stretches in all directions and keeps you dry even when temperatures rise thanks to DryCool technology.

The subtle pinstripe pattern with yarn-dyed stripes gives the shorts an elegant look that goes far beyond the typical sports style. Four pockets offer space for tees, scorecards and everything you need on the course - belt loops and a zipper with a press stud ensure a secure and customizable fit. With an inside leg length of 23 cm, the Bovey shorts are the ideal companion for summer rounds of golf, but can be worn just as well in everyday life.

For cooler mornings and changeable weather: vest and rain protection

Even in summer, the weather on the pitch can be surprising - and those who are prepared will play more relaxed. Abacus has two very different solutions for such moments.

Women who appreciate a light layer of protection on cool mornings or windy afternoons will love the Portrush Hybrid vest. Its seamlessly quilted, windproof outer material retains warmth without being bulky - the stretchy fleece side panels ensure that freedom of movement is fully maintained when swinging. The brushed fleece on the inside and the water-repellent treatment make them the ideal companion for the moment between putting and the next tee shot.

Men who don't want to sacrifice performance in real rainy weather should take a closer look at the Pitch 37.5 rain jacket - it is the technical highlight of the entire collection. The eponymous 37.5 technology actively regulates body temperature and keeps it in the optimum comfort range, whatever the weather. With a water column of 20,000 mm and breathability of 50,000 MVP, the jacket sets standards in its category. The 4-way stretch, the noiseless Silent material, a rubber print on the shoulders as anti-slip protection when carrying the bag and a practical microfiber cloth in the pocket are proof of this: Everything really has been thought of here.

The youngest on the course: rain protection for junior golfers

Golf is a sport for all generations - and Abacus also thinks about the youngest players on the course. The Links Stretch rain jacket for juniors offers reliable protection in rain and wind without restricting the freedom of movement of young golfers. The 2-way stretch, mesh lining and taped seams ensure dry and comfortable rounds - the water column of 10,000 mm and breathability of 10,000 MVP are by no means compromise values, but solid performance values for juniors. The minimalist design also makes the jacket ideal for team outfits or individual personalization. If you want to inspire the next generation of golfers, give them the right equipment - that is also a statement.

A collection that grows together

The Abacus 2026 summer collection is not a colorful hodgepodge of individual pieces - it is a coherent collection that combines style, function and responsibility. Whether golfers who want to impress on the course with feminine details and DryCool technology or golfers who choose between a classic cotton feel and technical elastane performance - the collection provides answers to many different needs. And anyone who chooses one of the outerwear options in changeable weather knows that even the worst weather can't prevent a good round.
