Not all golfers have to look boring  when visiting the greens. You’ll be surprised how many options there are when it comes to what you can wear while playing your favorite sport.

You should know that there are separate dress codes for men and women. But what you can wear also depends on where exactly you’re playing golf. Always keep in mind that golf attire should be functional and comfortable without sacrificing style at all times. 

SHIRTS

When shopping for golf shirts, don’t ever forget that the polo is king. Long sleeved, short sleeve, striped, patterned, or solid, a golfer cannot go wrong with a nice polo shirt, in any color, but may choose to match the color of their  driver headcovers. Most players own a polo or two that they may wear for their everyday work. These types of golf shirts are a great option for golfers who are just beginning with the sport, no shopping needed! 

BOTTOMS

While there are golf courses that allow players to wear shorts on their fairways, others require slacks as part of the dress code. Everyone, regardless of gender should comply with wearing shorts or skirts that reach at least to your fingertips. Slacks, dress shorts, and golf skirts are the most common types of bottoms to wear when visiting the greens. 

SWEATERS

Sweaters are usually worn for chilly weather. Many golf players like to bring or wear vests, sweaters, or windbreakers for a polished, layered look. Remember that hoodies are off-limits. Some golfers choose to purchase their coats, jackets, and vests from brands that are specifically made for this sport, but it is also a nice idea to invest in clothing items that can be used for many other sports. 

Most of it actually may already be in your closet. Instead of breaking the bank on a new sets of wardrobe that you can wear in the fairway, shopping for simple golf clothes that can be worn for many different occasions makes it easier to stay within budget.
