Best Original Penguin Spring Summer Apparel 2026

Original Penguin was all the range in the heyday of Palmer, Nicklaus, Player and so many more. More recently Cameron Smith encapsulated a revival of the brand to the big time in golf when he won The Open Championship at St Andrews in 2022 wearing the iconic Pete the Penguin logo.

Founded in 1955, the brand quickly grew a reputation for producing, what are considered now to be, classic golf shirts. For 2026, their style has evolved to often adopting quirky designs that are certainly out there.

From floral patterned shirts to bright pink shorts, Original Penguin say their collection is ‘designed to bring your personality to the course’. There is no doubt about that.

Here’s some of our favourites from their spring, summer range…

Best Original Penguin Spring Summer Apparel 2026

Original Penguin Lightweight Jogger

I’m not saying I’m becoming a grumpy old man, but the words ‘jogger’ and ‘golf course’ fill me with a certain terror. I’m wary of turning up at the club in my new-fangled fashion only to for the eyes of the room to be on me. 

The Original Penguin Pete Performance Golf Jogger solves all those problems. They combine the comfort of a jogger with the look of a more traditional golf trouser. If it wasn’t for the zips at the hem, you’d be hard pressed to distinguish them from any other hosiery out on the fairways and greens. 

But they are different. They’re far lighter than your conventional pants and the polyester-elastane mix prioritises comfort. The covered waistband, framed a by a silicone gripper within, means they stay in place – ending the days of having to constantly pull up your trousers as you complete a swing. 

PROS

• Comfort  
• Lightweight 
• Silicone gripper 

CONS

• The zips at the hem might not be for all 
• Only 1 choice in leg length 

RRP: £60 

Sizes: 30-38 Waist / 29 Leg 

Colours: Black / Asphalt

Original Penguin Pete’s Bow Tie Polo 

If you’re looking for a colourful polo shirt for the summer, then the Pete’s Bow Tie Polo is just for you! Available in two colours – Pirouette Pink and Black Iris – the Pete’s Bow Tie Polo brightens up the golf course. 

The polo is emblazoned with the Original Penguin logo – Pete the Penguin – on the left breast, and thanks to its lightweight single knit fabric, it is also breathable and moisture wicking, if you get caught in a summer shower. 

The one downside to the Pete’s Bow Tie Polo would be that it is on the slightly expensive side at more than £50, but if you’re looking for a quality item, then this is perfect. Comfortable, colourful and stylish, it is definitely something that I would wear on a bright sunny day! 

PROS

• Colourful 
• Comfortable 
• Stylish 

CONS

• Slightly expensive

RRP: £55.00 

Sizes: S-XXL

The jacket looks very stylish with colour matched nylon zips on the front and two side pockets. The original penguin logo is on the front left. The white contrast piping on the cuffs, pockets and lower seam is quite a nice feature. 

The jacket fits well and true is comfortable and warm. It has a nice trim fit but still allows a good range of movement on the course. 

PROS

• Stylish 
• Stretch fabric for better comfort 
• Full zip wearability 

CONS

  The Callaway Foulard Printed Golf Polo Shirt is part of Callaway Apparel’s Spring / Summer line up this year. I really like this item; the look is very clean and is extremely lightweight for the course.  

  The design is slightly more eye catching than previous Callaway Apparel garments, but they have struck a really nice balance of not being over the top and looking very smart.  

  On first look, I was really surprised in a positive way how lightweight the product is. It certainly doesn’t feel like it will wear down quickly but the comfort of it is really pleasant to wear. The stretch fabric is also great for full range of movement in the golf swing.
