Tommy Hilfiger and U.S. SailGP Team Announce Summer 2026 Collection Inspired by Archival Sailing Wear and Innovative Functionality

Global lifestyle brand Tommy Hilfiger announces the launch of the 'Tommy Hilfiger x U.S. SailGP Team Summer 2026 Collection,' the second performance capsule collection born from its multi-year partnership with the U.S. SailGP Team. Designed for comfort both at sea and in the city, this collection fuses high functionality with the brand's iconic 'Classic American Cool' DNA. It reflects the current state of sailing, a sport that continues to evolve by becoming faster, reaching more people, and strengthening its connection to culture. 'Sailing has been part of our world since the brand's inception,' says Tommy Hilfiger. 'The U.S. SailGP Team is pushing the sport into a new realm where high-speed competition, innovation, and entertainment merge on a global scale. This collection expresses that energy through our signature modern interpretation of preppy style.' Mike Buckley, CEO and co-owner of the U.S. SailGP Team, commented: 'SailGP is a sport that pushes the limits of what is possible on the water, and that mindset is embedded in everything we do. We are constantly on the move, and we need apparel that can keep up with that speed, not just during races but in our daily lives. Our work with Tommy Hilfiger has been a true collaboration from the start. They deeply understand how we operate as a team, and that understanding is reflected in this second collection. Sport and fashion are no longer separate worlds. We aimed for a collection that functions on the racecourse, in the city, and everywhere in between.' Popular items from the first season return, most notably the waterproof and windproof sailing jacket. It is designed with durable 3-layer ripstop canvas to withstand changing weather conditions. The performance polo shirts feature moisture-wicking and anti-bacterial/odor-resistant functions. New, more fashion-forward items such as quarter-zip rugby shirts and sweatshirts inspired by sail structures and tension are also introduced. The color palette is based on the brand's signature red, white, and blue, with the addition of ecru, sandalwood, navy, and black. A vibrant lime green, inspired by vintage jackets, serves as an accent color, adding a modern brightness to key items like hoodies, caps, and flag T-shirts. An all-black lineup is also available, providing a sophisticated contrast to the collection. The 2026 summer campaign depicts the collection's worldview through sophisticated studio visuals. Abstract set designs inspired by sails evoke movement and form, representing the sky in pale blue tones. In a fresh and aspirational mood, it invites consumers into Tommy Hilfiger's nautical world, proposing a clean and sophisticated style that seamlessly connects the water to the land. Sailing has been a key element in shaping Tommy Hilfiger for many years. The natural confidence of sailing culture and the aspiration for a lifestyle spent on the water are deeply rooted in the brand. Since its founding, nautical signal flags have greatly influenced the brand's worldview, serving as the inspiration for the current iconic flag logo. Furthermore, the long-standing involvement with competitive sailing has shaped Tommy Hilfiger's unique style of expressing sport. This extends beyond the competition itself to immersive brand experiences, inspiring people, and storytelling centered on culture. The Tommy Hilfiger x U.S. SailGP Team Summer 2026 Collection is available at tommy.com and flagship stores such as Omotesando.
