Women’s Golf Fashion – A Combination of Comfort And Practicality  

Fashion is an interesting art form, in that not only does it aim to be aesthetically pleasing, it also has to be worn. And while certain very fashionable items of clothing are not comfortable to wear (spike heels, anyone?), clothes designed for an athletic function can’t just look nice. They have to be comfortable and they have to be practical. Ladies designer golf apparel is no exception to this rule. Here are some aspects of women’s golf fashion that incorporate comfort and practicality into their trendy looks.

Shirts and jackets

The polo shirt began as a male garment, but as more women have taken up golf it has exploded on to the ladies’ golf apparel market as well. Polo shirts are snug enough to be comfortable and not flap distractingly during a golf swing, but stretchy enough to allow complete freedom of movement. The shirt’s low collar and short sleeves aid in its practicality. Jackets for cooler weather are typically made of thin, stretchy material to mimic the close fit of the polo shirt, even if many of them do have long sleeves rather than short.

Skorts

The skort, aside from being fashionable unto itself, is the quintessential women’s golf apparel item of comfort and practicality. It’s somewhat looser and less restrictive than either shorts or a short skirt can be, but it allows for both the style of a skirt and the concealment of shorts for when a lady golfer needs to bend over or squat down to line up a shot or putt. Comfort, practicality, AND fashion—skorts have it all.

And this is just the beginning. That’s one of the best things about women’s golf and athletic apparel—it’s clearly designed to feel great and serve a practical purpose while making you look fantastic.
