New fashion brand Parallel Clothing launched

A newly-qualified PGA pro has launched a new fashion brand, Parallel Clothing, just a year after becoming a teaching professional.

Andy Smith, from Leicester, combined his studies for the PGA exams with setting up his own golf fashion label and now wants to help golfers improve their appearance on the fairways as well as their swings.

Parallel Clothing lines include a range of shirts, sweaters and cardigans designed to be worn both on the golf course and on other more social occasions.

Parallel Clothing polo shirts feature both full-button styles and unique placket detail, one of which is angled towards the side of the shirt. All are 100% cotton with both Pique and Jersey cotton options, with a unique ‘wash’ which creates a soft feel. Parallel Clothing cardigans, sleeveless and half-sleeve sweaters use 100% cotton which is finished to perfection with the softest of feels.  Design features include pintuck detailing from the neckline to the hem, a button-fastening placket along the shoulder, and contrast stitching along the seams.

Prices for Parallel Clothing garments range from £30 to £50, and customers can place orders online at www.parallelclothing.co.uk, with garments despatched same-day by first-class recorded delivery.

Smith said: “Although golfwear has to be practical, we haven’t compromised on the fashion. Instead of simply putting new patterns on the same old polo shirts and jumpers, we’ve come up with some new ideas including contrasting stitching, drop down shoulders and prominent seam lines.

“We have a bold look which takes the latest fashion industry ideas and applies them to golf, but golfers will find they wear just as well on a night out as they do when standing on the tee.”
