The weather is starting to warm up and that means it’s almost time to tee off. From smart golf caps to weatherproof outerwear, we can help you step up your style game and look great on the green.
Hats
Whether you go with the classic golf cap (or flat cap)flat ca with a plaid design or a basic visor, you will need something to shield your eyes from the start when you start swinging your trusty 9 iron. Although baseball hats have now encroached on golf courses, the flat cap – which has English and Scottish roots – looks smart both on and off the course.
Shirts
Indulge your inner prep with a clean, crisp polo shirt. Solid colors always look fresh, but collared shirts with bold graphics and colors, like stripes and duotones, are also ideal for springtime. If you plan on playing 18 holes all day long in the sunshine, pick a polo made with relaxed, performance fabrics like polyester and microfiber (these materials will keep you cool and give off a more athletic look and fit). Or, if you prefer the more traditional and structured style, you can’t go wrong with a sturdy cotton polo shirt.
Shorts and Pants
There’s a way to wear golf pants without looking too much like a suburban dad: don’t get a pair with pleats. Make sure you choose shorts and pants that have a flat front for a more modern look. Khaki, light gray, or pastel colors are sophisticated and trendy, but if you are feeling a little more daring then definitely go for a preppy plaid pattern or bold solid hue.
