“Our Spring/Summer 2027 apparel line was built with the buyer and the golfer in mind,” said Mark Kliethermes, Senior Creative Director, Ahead. “From coastal-inspired color stories and modern performance polos to versatile layering pieces and proven women’s favorites, this collection gives retail partners the tools to create compelling assortments that perform at the register and resonate with consumers.”

Men’s Collection: Coastal Color, Modern Prints, and Essential Layers
The men’s Spring/Summer 2027 line is organized around three fashion groups, each designed to create a cohesive merchandising story with easy outfitting opportunities.

French Riviera captures the elegance of coastal villages, sparkling water, and seaside pastels with a refined palette led by white, azure, light true navy, and soft, shell pink. Key men’s styles include Tropez, Eze, Nice, Monaco, and Cannes, offering abstract prints, heathered stripes, and polished performance styling.

Ibiza brings a sun-drenched Mediterranean feel to the assortment with foliage, mosaic tile, and mini-print patterns in sea glass, coral, and beach-inspired hues.

The Tradition delivers a classic country club-inspired story, pairing fresh green with early-spring pinks and novelty prints featuring timeless golf icons.

New and notable men’s introductions include the Essential Stripe Polo, a dependable staple designed for broad appeal, and a strong lineup of layering pieces: Amp, a lightweight textured hood; Momentum, a hybrid knit/woven vest that blends performance and sophistication; and Harris, a fleece quarter-zip built for everyday wear and custom appliqué.

Women’s Collection: Jewel Tones, Feminine Shades, and Elevated Comfort
The women’s Spring/Summer 2027 line showcases rich jewel tones balanced with soft, feminine shades for a fresh, sophisticated assortment suited for golf, travel, and everyday lifestyle wear.

Serenity is inspired by the tranquil beauty of the ocean shoreline, using soft blues and pinks to create a calm, effortless color story.

Fiji pairs crisp green and navy to evoke lush palms, clear ocean waters, and classic nautical style, balancing sport silhouettes with easy sophistication.

New women’s silhouettes include Tempo, a lightweight quilted vest available in black, white, cashmere, and seagull, along with a coordinating quilted jacket, and Stride, a versatile quilted jacket offered in black and white for polished layering on and off the course.
