The twin demands of function and fashion are the guiding principle behind Cross Sportswear’s Spring/Summer ’17 Collection, inspired by the Swedish Long Drive Team.
The country’s biggest hitters tasked Cross Sportswear’s design team to create a range that could meet and exceed the demands of this extremely competitive and athletic sport, where every element of performance is pushed to the limit in order to gain a winning advantage.
The range features a wide range of natural materials, including cotton, wool and bamboo charcoal, as well man-made fibres, such as polyester and nylon. All of the key items are made from highly stretchable and breathable fabrics designed to offer complete freedom of movement, while modern fits, clear-cut design is a strong theme in the range, which boasts a colourful palette in easy mix-and-match combinations to create the perfect capsule golfing wardrobe.
WOMEN’S POLO SHIRT
The SS ’17 polo shirt collection for women is Cross Sportswear’s most comprehensive yet, featuring a range of no fewer than eight different designs to suit a wide crosssection of golfers, as well as different golfing conditions.
Boasting a traditional, yet contemporary design, it is made from a combination of polyester (55%) bamboo charcoal (45%), which provides a super comfortable, shapely fit, while also offering built-in UV protection, quick drying capability, and anti-microbial properties, which make it ideal for playing in all weather conditions. Available in four bold, single block colours – white, peony pink, clear sky and navy – it also features contrast collars, plackets and cuffs, and boasts a large Cross logo on the sleeve. RRP £43
The Nostalgia Polo is available in sleeveless and long sleeve designs, but with a collarless, plunging v-neck. Made from polyester (55%) and moisture wicking bamboo charcoal (45%), it is ideal for playing in hotter climates. Choose from white, clear sky, cerise or navy, and sizes XS-XXL. RRP £46 RRP £55
A more daring print pattern is offered in the Leaf Polo, which features three eyecatching designs modelled on a leaf theme (summer green, multi-colour and trenchcoat), which will be sure to put in a spring in the step of any wearer. Made from a Polyester (90%) and Spandex jersey (10%) mix, for a comfortable, yet fitted look, they offer built-in UV protection and moisture management technology and are available in sizes XS-XXL, in a short sleeve, regular fit. RRP £60
WOMEN’S PANTS/SHORTS/SKORTS
