Lyle & Scott – Iconic on the Golf Course and the High Street

Lyle & Scott are a brand much loved by professional golfers and amateur players alike. And the Lyle & Scott brand has seeped into high street fashions thanks to the celebrity endorsements. Flying golf balls through the fairways, Tiger Woods looks pretty fly himself decked out in Lyle & Scott fashions. And perhaps it's because golf seems to be the celebrity game of choice, loved by the likes of cooler than cool movie star Samuel L Jackson, it's no wonder Lyle & Scott feature on the catwalks as well as the golfing greens.

Golf has become chic. Like any trend endorsed by celebrities, the followers of fashion aren't far behind – and even if it isn't the act of picking up a set of golf clubs like movie stars Catherine Zeta Jones and her husband Michael Douglas, wearing Lyle & Scott clothes is a statement in itself. You don't need to be holding a golf club to enjoy the strong Scottish tradition Lyle & Scott tap into – 130 years plus of designing clothes taps perfectly into the current love of all things retro, combining classic looks with modern twists.

And the old style diamond knits of Lyle & Scott worn by the likes of old-time comedians the Two Ronnies, have been reclaimed by younger celebrities such as Ant and Dec. Crew necks featuring the Lyle & Scott golden eagle logo are much sought after, offering fresh, sharp designs with retro charm – a look loved by the likes of TV presenters (from Bruce Forsyth to Vernon Kay). The appeal may be far-reaching but the look of Lyle & Scott is distinct, explaining the phenomenal success of the brand. As well as mainstream celebs loving the brand, cutting edge musicians such as the Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys have claimed the Lyle & Scott look. From a music gig to the golf courses – there can't be any other designer brand in the world that creates such a diverse and such distinct appeal. Lyle & Scott's retro look loved by hip bands such as Hard Fi and Razorlight means it doesn't need any huge marketing campaigns. Loved by celebrities across the board, it's no wonder Lyle & Scott are such a hit.
