With summer in full bloom, it is golf season, especially in the northern states. That means it’s time for golfers to hit the links and look good while playing.

If you want to look good and feel good on and off the golf courses with what you wear, it is time to add Antigua golf apparel to your collection.

The summer designs by Antigua are not only fit for the summer, but are comfortable, colorful, and cut for the golfer to swing without restriction. Antigua takes care of both men and women with it’s new summer styles for 2017.

“The 2017 ladies golf collection is a continuation of the simplicity that the 2016 line embodied,” says Danielle Dellios, Antigua women’s designer. “In the new collection, fabrics and colors play a key role versus styling and and silhouette. The market was calling for a fresh take on primary color, which was made possible by mixing colors together. Thus, each grouping consists of tow primaries. For example, our new green color, Cypress is mixed with a bright blue color, Cabana. There are a total of four color combo’s, each mixing two primary colors. Every printed, striped or colorblocked style within the collection mixes the two colors, instead of using traditional neutral accents like grey or khaki. Combining two complementary primary shades really pops. Prints are as strong as ever in the marketplace, which meant creating unique artwork that could also be used to mix colors and give new life to basic styles.”
