What not to wear to golf? Golf Etiquette and Fashion Golf clubs and courses have specific dress codes. Their observance is a result of etiquette and is mandatory for participants. Before going to a certain place, check if there are any rules, for example about colors (some clubs don’t wear colored socks, for example) or patterns. It is assumed that the following may not be entered onto the golf course:

  • classic t-shirts and blouses without a collar; blouses that open the stomach;
  • sports pants and leggings; jeans; shorts shorter than the knee;
  • very short skirts; high-heeled shoes; shoes without socks (they are needed even for sandals);
  • sneakers; many jewels

The dress code can be found in each golf course’s terms and conditions or on its website. General rules of golf etiquette are also presented by the Polish Golf Association. What should women’s and men’s golf look like?

Women’s Golf Dress: How to dress for the golf course?

Women’s golf should be elegant, neat and calm. In addition, it should allow enough movement and not interfere with other movements. It’s worth making sure it’s also comfortable when you’re bending over. The brand’s collections include thermal wear (useful in the colder months) and women’s golf: G/Fore, J Lindeberg, Alberto, Bogner, Chervo, LoveShackFancy, Rudy Project, Sportalm and X-Bionic. Golf apparel can also be found in designer collections, including the EA7 Emporio Armani collections and three Ralph Lauren collections: Polo Golf Ralph Lauren, Polo Ralph Lauren and RLX Ralph Lauren. To complete the basic golf equipment, you need to decide on the necessary items, namely:

  • women’s golf

According to the label, all golf shirts must have a collar. Therefore, the most popular type will be the polo type. You can choose a T-shirt with short sleeves and wide shoulders or a T-shirt with long sleeves. It is advisable to choose from technical sports fabrics, it is possible from merino wool or mixed with it. Due to the composition of this material, they will provide the required temperature in any conditions, well removing excess heat and moisture. A good example is J Lindeberg’s stylish women’s golf polos, which will look great in any clubhouse or on the course.

  • Women’s pants or golf skirt

Women’s fabric golf pants or golf skirts are a must. Their length is important. Only long pants or skirts or knee-length shorts are accepted. This is related to the issue of convenience. Clothing that is too tight (eg leggings, biker tops) or too short (which can make bending over difficult) will be considered inappropriate and against etiquette. The corresponding models can be found in the J Lindeberg, Chervo and Sportalm collections.

  • Golf dress

Alternatively, a golf dress can be used, which usually combines the characteristics of a polo shirt and a golf skirt with a collar and matching length. Most often, models with a pleated bottom, slightly flared, are chosen, which are more comfortable and do not constrain movements. All J Lindenberg, Chervo, LoveSchackFancy and Sportalm golf dresses will meet the label criteria.

Men’s Golf Clothing: How To Dress For Golf?

Men’s golf clothing should also be neat, stylish and combine a sporty style with a touch of casual. The basics are similar to those found in women’s clothing:

  • men’s golf

In this case, it is also polo. Etiquette rules for each golf course require men to choose short-sleeve shirts with a collar or long-sleeve shirts for cooler days. Whether colorful or more subdued, the Chervo and G/Fore men’s polo shirts are a classic choice for any golfer.

  • Men’s golf pants and shorts

Men’s golf pants must be made of fabric (no hoodies or jeans) and be at least knee length. It’s worth checking the rules of the specific club, as in some places shorts are only for amateur players. You should look for the right golf models for men in the collections: Alberto, Chervo, G/Fore, J Lindenberg and Ralph Lauren.

What are the best golf shoes?

One of the most important elements of a golfer’s equipment is footwear. Usually, amateurs can wear classic sports shoes (except sneakers), but see the rules in the regulations. Golf shoes should be stable, have a non-slip sole and not damage the grass on the field. Shoes with studs in the soles are usually chosen. Some clubs require a mandatory selection of a soft top, which can be used both on grass and indoors. G/Fore golf shoes are best. In addition, sandals are allowed in some clubs.

Additional accessories for golf clothing

Golf apparel is also about accessories. High socks are required, which must also be tight in sandals. Sticks may require a certain color. Plain or (if allowed) checkered are usually chosen. Golfers also wear a golf glove (left for righties and right for lefties). A protective helmet in the form of a helmet, visor or sun hat is accepted.
