Fact: You don't have to be good at golf to look great on the course. Trust us on this one. But, for those of us who don't golf frequently, investing in a wardrobe of attractive golf-specific clothes can get pricey. The solution: Find clothes that look as good on the greens as they do on the street. We tried out a few stylish selections to make sure they made the cut, and we're confident you'll find an option below that suits your fancy.
For a ladylike look without sacrificing comfort, we're loving some of the active skorts at Athleta. The Out About Skort ($49) features a fairly straight cut but still provides room for you to move easily. The Whatever Skort ($49) has a slightly more "twirly girly" look, but once again, makes athletic movements a breeze.
Maybe you're just not comfortable swinging away in a skirt or skort -- no problem! SmartWool (yes, that's right -- wool in the summer) offers a Bermuda short that's sure to be up your alley. W's Straightline Short ($80) comes in two different, subtle plaids (the only pattern for golf, if you ask us) and has a 10-inch inseam, so you'll feel fully covered no matter how low you crouch to read the green.
While you're over at SmartWool, take a gander at its tops. It's not just about cut in golf clothes -- it's also about texture and material, which is why lightweight wool is such a great option. If you want to show off your arms, W's Microweight Tank ($50) is a slim-fitting, comfortable option. We found it a bit on the sheer side, however, so you might want to look at layering another tank with it.
Some golf courses have stricter rules than others on what should be worn, so if you'd rather keep it a bit more conservative, we're loving the Icebreaker Club Polo ($89.99). Made of incredibly lightweight Merino wool, the polo features a slim fit, flattering seams, and a cute little lamb logo on the chest. Talk about perfectly preppy!
Now that you've got tips for what to wear golfing, check out these tips from pro golfer Cristie Kerr on how to maintain a healthy weight!
