Lacoste Golf summer collection: light, functional, iconic

When the temperatures rise, golf suddenly becomes a question of style and comfort at the same time: you want freedom of movement in your swing, a comfortable feel over 18 holes - and preferably looks that work from the first tee to the clubhouse. This is exactly where the new Lacoste Golf summer collection comes in: iconic classics, modern functional materials and well thought-out details that you often only really appreciate on the round.

The focus is on three themes that count in summer: Lightness, moisture management and - on selected pieces - UV protection 50, plus the typical Lacoste DNA: clean lines, sporty elegance and the unmistakable crocodile as a stylish statement.

Stay cool when it gets hot: lightweight fabrics & smart ventilation

Summer golf is not just a question of color, but above all of material. Anyone who has ever played in the midday sun knows that a good polo does not feel "somehow thin" - but noticeably airy without losing structure.

The Lacoste Iconic Piqué Polo is a highlight for men. It reinterprets the legendary Lacoste polo from 1933 and uses an ultra-light piqué fabric (165 g/m²). Thanks to its typical structure, piqué is pleasantly breathable - ideal if you are looking for a polo that looks classic but is light to wear in summer. The look remains deliberately timeless: rib-knit collars, mother-of-pearl buttons and the embroidered crocodile provide the kind of elegance that also works off the pitch.

For women, Lacoste has placed even more emphasis on ventilation : the Performance polo combines a lightweight, breathable knitted material with mesh inserts on the sides. This makes a noticeable difference, especially during active laps or regular training sessions: air circulates where you need it most. Contrasting stripes on the collar, waistband and cuffs create a sporty, elegant look.

Dry feel on the lap: Ultra-Dry & Stretch as a Performance base

As much as lightness counts: Climate management is often the deciding factor on the course. This is precisely where Lacoste plays to its strengths with Ultra-Dry technology - it appears in several parts of the collection and aims to keep the wearer feeling fresh and dry.

The Performance Print polo for men is a typical "summer performer": stretch jersey, Ultra-Dry and a modern, slightly tailored regular-fit silhouette. In addition, the all-over print clearly pushes the polo towards a sporty statement look - without losing the Lacoste aesthetic (including the silicone crocodile on the chest). If you're looking for a polo that feels active and sits comfortably again quickly, this is the way to go.

For women, the Performance Solid Polo offers a very clear, timeless performance version: also stretch jersey, ultra-dry and a slim fit for a feminine, sporty line. Navy is a little styling trick: it always looks "club-ready", goes with almost anything and remains confident even when the rest of the outfit is more colorful.

Performance is not left to chance when it comes to bottoms either. The Classic Performance Bermudas for men are designed for regular wear and combine stretch comfort with ultra-dry function. The features are all-round: classic pocket solution, plus golf-related details such as pockets for balls and scorecard and six belt loops.

If you prefer a long, modern silhouette to Bermuda shorts, the Classic Performance Trousers for men are a sporty, elegant essential. The lightweight stretch twill material is flexible to wear, while the elasticated waistband with silicone strips is a detail that you only really appreciate after a few holes: the polo stays where it should - even when you're actively playing or moving around a lot.

Sunny days with a bonus: UV protection 50 on selected polo shirts

If your golf season consists mainly of sunny rounds, UV protection is a real plus - especially when it comes without compromising on the look. Two pieces in the collection have this feature: the men's Performance Print polo and the women's Performance Solid polo, both with UV protection 50.

This makes these polos convincing companions for long summer days: you get technical support without the outfit looking like "pure functional clothing". Especially in combination with clean bottoms in white or navy, they create a modern, sporty look that works from Tee to terrace.

Golf details that make the difference: Waistband, pockets, inner pants

It's often the little things that make a favorite item. A good example is the Golf Skirt for women. The short skirt features stretch taffeta, ultra-dry and - crucially - integrated inner trousers. This ensures secure comfort with every movement and a relaxed feeling, even when the wind picks up or you play a more sporty game. Pleats at the back support freedom of movement and silhouette, while ergonomically placed pockets keep essentials close at hand.

The men's bottoms also show that Lacoste knows the practical side of things: non-slip inserts on the waistband, pocket solutions and an overall clean cut that remains sporty but doesn't look "too technical".

Classics, interpreted in a modern way - also in terms of materials

In addition to Performance, Lacoste continues to focus on iconic basics. For women, this includes the Classic Cotton Piqué Polo: an uncomplicated, timeless polo with a classic piqué character, regular fit and embroidered crocodile. The color has a soft summery feel and is a nice alternative to the typical navy/white combinations.

And for those who like the "update" idea: the collection also mentions recycled materials and organic cotton in selected items - a modern twist without abandoning the classic Lacoste look.
