May Golf Style Roundup: The latest products that caught our eye so far this spring
There's no time like springtime. It's the season of revival and renewal—making it the most opportune time to dust off the winter cobwebs and give your on-course style a few upgrades before peak golf season's arrival. May has been a busy month of drops and releases, but we've taken the liberty to round up a few style highlights for you to ponder over. -Addie Parker
May 2024
Reigning Champ x Miura Golf
In fashion meets equipment fusion, Miura Golf teamed up with athletic wear brand Reigning Champ, creating quite a bit of buzz across the golf space. This capsule is the perfect merger between the two brands, combining their individual logos into an all-encompassing symbol that blends the Reigning Champ monogram with the “MIURA 1957” emblem. The apparel is rather stealthy and minimalistic in design, matching the vibes of the irons that are simple and understated. Miura isn't reinventing the wheel by any means, but they are altering the delivery (in the form of a package deal) and we're here for it.
Ecco "New Flavors" of Golf Shoes
From nutty pistachio and hazelnut-honey to raspberry swirl, Ecco delivers new sweet treats that even our lactose-intolerant friends can enjoy just in time for the summer. Taking a hybrid approach that mixes fashion with functionality that Ecco has made a reputation for, these shoes are a step out-of-the-box for the brand, featuring a daring white leather penny loafer that amplifies how the brand is shifting towards a more fashion-forward direction.
Eastside Golf Spring Women's Collection
Last month, Eastside Golf dipped its toe into the women's apparel pool in collaboration with Mercedes Benz USA, releasing a mini-capsule geared specifically towards women for the first time. This month, the brand released its full women's collection for spring, applying its same athleisure meets street-style aesthetic that popularized its menswear. Equipped with knitwear tracksuits, a series of banded cropped tees, and piqued golf polos—this drop stays true to Eastside's unique style.
Macade Pre-Summer Capsule
Macade Golf released its pre-summer collection for men and women that leans heavily into knitwear and neutrals. Sweater weather doesn't have to turn into sweaty weather, as Macade utilizes lightweight knit in a variety of cuts (sleeveless for ladies and short-sleeved for men) to provide stylish and functional offerings for warm weather days.
A Familiar favorite with a twist: Radmor Jeans
Over the last few months, we have seen golf brands broaden their horizons in a multitude of ways, but one brand in particular has taken things to the next level. Radmor, a familiar golf favorite, has released its first iteration of sustainable denim jeans. Denim and golf seem like an odd combination, but when you combine the stretch and performance technologies used in golf apparel and apply them to jeans—it makes perfect sense. Available in three wash styles: dark, light, and medium wash, these comfort-focused and ethically conscious jeans just became a staple for the golfer who loves to rock his golf polos off the course…and just in time for Father's Day gift shopping, too.
What caught our eye on Instagram
Since January, the Jason Day/Malbon partnership has garnered attention at just about every PGA Tour event. From his oh-so conspicuous sweater vest at the Masters to his throwback oversized khakis, Day has caused quite the stir. And though his new threads may not be appealing to everyone, one has to admit that it's refreshing to see a player brand out and try out different things. An experiment doesn't go off without a few hitches, and we could argue that Day and Malbon have made some interesting choices, but we're very on board for his full lavender fit last week at Valhalla. The tasteful length of his shorts combined with the perfect drawstring cinching of the windbreaker was executed masterfully. But the look was made with the color selection, and dare we say…we want more of it!
More lavender golf looks
In the year that we thought peachy tones would have their moment, another gentle color has emerged as the trend for summer—lavender. And no, it's not just recency bias from Day's Valhalla looks, quite a few brands have joined the purple rain train, debuting a variety of lilac, amethyst, and lavender shades and making them course-appropriate. Embrace pastels with slim-fitted silhouettes, and be bold in pairing them with unexpected colors (we're big fans of the lavender/navy blue color combination).
Quadrant's Club Athletic by Lando Norris
Calling all Formula 1 fanatics, fresh off his maiden grand prix win in Miami, British driver and fellow golf lover Lando Norris has released a country club-inspired apparel drop for his brand Quadrant. The 'Club Athletic' collection is a 13-piece capsule offering a selection of hoodies, graphic tees, a swanky rugby polo, basketball shorts, along with a few pieces of accessories. It's a bit of fun with athleisure undertones similar to what Norris would wear to the paddock.
"Quick 9" — Nine products we had our eye on
PXG Men's Comfort Fit Saguaro Perforated Polo
A staple polo for the summer is essential and this cacti-printed one from PXG is right on these for the warm weather days we've been longing for.
Sierra Madre Ready Mock Neck Tank
We're always on board for a mockneck, and ladies if you're in the market for a stylish one that wears well off the course as much as it does on, this one from Sierra Madre may be for you. The candy red and lime colorways are so chic.
Lusso Cloud Esto Loafer
Lusso's have become golfers' go-to post-round shoes, but these elevated loafers are unlike the slides we normally see around the course. The smooth leather finish is a polished, more sophisticated look and may be a great option for a Father's Day gift.
Bonobos Men's Lightweight Chino Short
Okay, so you've snagged your staple polo, and now you need the shorts to match. Available in a new colorway, these best-selling chino shorts from Bonobos are great for a relaxed-fit short, that pairs well with just about anything. And who doesn't love seersucker in the summer?
Palm Golf Co. United States Muni Club Snapback
With the Olympics just a couple of months away, snag your red, white, and blue gear now. The USA Collection from Palm Golf Co. is full of fun stars and stripped accessories, all under $40.
Dimple & Divot Every Round Carry Pouch
Dimple and Divot teamed up with Mackenzie Golf to craft buckskin leather pouches that are the perfect snazzy, upscaled repository to hold your random golf tools (an underrated in-bag accessory if you ask us).
Lucchese Leather Driver Headcover
There's something about a cactus motif that we can't seem to shake this month, but this luxe leather headcover from the iconic Lucchese Leather brand just shot to the top of our wish list.
Devereux Golf Men's "Gator" Mesh Athletic Shorts
Sticking with the western/desert theme, these gator-printed shorts are another favorite, but with five other daring colorway options, you can't go wrong with any option.
Greyson Women's Phoenix Trouser Short
Pleated and high-waisted, Greyson knew exactly what it was doing when creating a flattering pair of shorts.
April 2024
Consider this our formal request to have the Monday (and potentially the rest of the week) after the Masters declared a national day of rest to allow our minds and bodies to find equilibrium once more. For some, they made the pilgrimage down to Augusta National to bear witness to golf's most reputable week. For others, we were at home decked out in dated Masters gear making our own pimento cheese sandwiches, eyes glued to the TV screen (or the Masters app—this is your painful reminder to delete it). Masters mania was in full force, therefore you may have missed a few drops that will propel you into the spring and summer looking better than ever; we rounded up nine apparel and accessory drops from this month that probably flew under your radar. -Addie Parker
Quiet Golf X Puma
If you thought cable knit sweaters and paisley prints were only for the fall, you're mistaken! The latest and first collaboration between Quiet Golf and Puma Golf introduces us to new offerings that are understated with earthy tones at the forefront of the collection. Quiet Golf, a contemporary sportswear brand based in Costa Mesa, California, harnesses its name in this capsule using a muted brown and green color palette to preppy silhouettes (think pleats, cable knits, and saddle shoes) creating a trendy dichotomy for on-course wear that feels unconventional for Puma.
Bogey Boys "The Snake Run" Collection
From paisley print to animal print—Macklemore's Bogey Boys' most recent drop is delightfully serpentine. This limited edition capsule, comprised of just three items, feels unlike anything we've seen from the brand before. Animal print in men's golf apparel is a rarity, but snake-skin designs have an elegant and fashion-forward feel to them, and we'd love to see the polo paired with all-black accessories and a trucker hat (for a more modish look).
Asher Golf Looper Collection
We can't get enough of this unique take on the hoodie that Asher just released. It's made with a soft terry cloth overlaid with mesh—inspired by classic caddy bibs. Asher, known for its high-quality gloves, has made strides in apparel and the Looper Collection is a fun yet simple foray into thematic drops for the brand.
Radmor Spring/Summer '24 Collection
Known for its sustainability efforts, Radmor's spring/summer collection features new silhouettes and colors in its offerings for men's and women's apparel. Each of Radmor's signature new polo, "The Taylor", is designed with 14 recycled plastic bottles, proving that you don't have to sacrifice style when shopping ethically.
Eastside Golf X Mercedes-Benz Capsule
Making its debut in women's golf apparel, Eastside Golf found a new partner in Mercedes-Benz USA, launching a nine-product capsule that takes the opposite approach to "shrink it and pink it". The Prussian blue color palette is contrasted with the dual logos of Eastside's classic script and swingman iconography and Mercedes' three-star emblem in white. The merger between Eastside Golf's casual, streetwear style and Mercedes-Benz's long history as a premier legacy car brand, is apparent with this capsule that embodies "recreational luxury". The headwear of this collection features a unique, fashion-forward approach with each piece lined with silk for an upscaled finish.
March 2024
The world of golf fashion is revving up for one big Majors season in 2024. We’ve got an exciting round-up of upstart golf brands expanding their lifestyle offerings, as well as technical sport favorites branching out into the world of fashion. The theme this month seems to be high-performance meets high-fashion, with a showering of sporty spring fling fun. Take a look. -Emma Francois
TRUE Linkswear Members Only
Ahead of the Masters, TRUE just launched major-inspired versions of its three top shoe models. Each pair is marked by the exclusive “members only” emblem and comes with exclusive swag: a reusable shoe bag, reversible leather head cover, knick-knacks pouch and golf towel. It’s worth it for the goodies, and is likely to sell out fast.
'Dad Hats,' Inspired by Owen Wilson’s new golf show news
Few images are as burned in our brains as actor-golfer Luke Wilson’s sultry model shots for Criquet’s line of performance golf shirts (I mean, hello). Now, it’s his brother, Owen Wilson, hitting the golf headlines with news of an upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series focused on the life of a washed-up pro struggling with the hilarious (or at least comically familiar) cocktail that is midlife on the rocks. But this "dad-hat" trend is totally rocking! Pair it with a stylishly oversized and boxy cut tee or, for the ladies, your go-to leggings and cardigan throw.
PXG Highlight, SS Drop
The techy equipment brand’s apparel offerings have, for a longtime now, been subtly packing quite the sartorial punch. For the men’s side, this season’s drop ditches reserve for statement-making staples. And on the women’s side, led by golf and style crusader Renee Parsons, the silhouettes are bold, sporty, feminine and yet somehow also practical. In terms of large name brands doing clothing differently, PXG is one to watch.
After Hours with Byrdie Golf Social Wear
The peppy women’s brand known for its flirty cute performance wear designed for the course has just launched its first two-item capsule of “social wear,” living up to the namesake and promising more gorgeousness to come. The release includes a sage-hued leafy floral gown, ideal for garden parties, sunset cocktails or summer weddings, in a mid- and floor-length variety, complete with a dramatic train and on-trend puffy, prairie-style sleeve. Bonus points if you wear this for a whole round.
Trend Alert: Double Rainbow
We’re tracking this happy trend of supersaturated, technicolor hues, as seen in G/Fore’s skippy shoe release marked by vibrant sole detailing, and Malbon’s limited-edition collaboration with the Japanese brand, BEAMS Golf. Both bring the joys of the sport to the forefront in clothing that’ll boost your mood even if you get hit with a surprise spring shower.
Students “Commitment Is Not an Issue”
It seems like Students releases a new capsule as often as a spring-fever teen skips classes. This collection draws on the brand’s knack for the cut-and-sew technique paired with wry typeface and a restrained color palette, now featuring more elevated pieces for more upscale looks, without sacrificing the brand’s skater roots.
GOLF le FLEUR x Humanrace Nail Polish
“Golf,” singer Pharrell Williams said, “is where sport and fashion come together in a more laid-back style.” The new creative head of Louis Vuitton men’s has partnered with another golf style icon, Tyler, the Creator, to create a Masters-worthy green nail polish that’s vegan, cruelty-free, made in the USA and luxe, all for a cool $25. (P.S. Williams, who is known for his sport-plus-fashion finesse, even owns a bespoke Hermès golf bag, so you can color us green with envy.)
Bad Birdie Sends Warm Wishes
If you’re looking for the desert-cool brand’s signature graphic prints and jewel-toned colors, you will not be disappointed. The brand’s spring drop relies heavily on the rhetoric of old-school prep meets whimsical design and features looks for every member of your clubhouse, from the kiddos to the relics (wise owls, elders or whatever the cool kids are calling them these days).
Vintage Golf Highball Glasses
And now, for a bit of fun, these vintage glasses come in a set of seven and feature 24k gold-etched clubs with a deco vertical-green design perfect for mint juleps, Arnold Palmers or whatever your foursome is craving. They’re sporty matched with retro glam for all your upcoming 19th hole shenanigans this golf season.
January/February 2024
Under Armour Phantom Golf Shoes
Arguably the most aesthetically interesting golf shoe to come from UA, the new Phantom golf shoe is now available in a heathered gray and icy blue colorway. The obvious standout feature is the thick, well-cushioned midsole that resembles the popular running shoes of today's market (think Nike free runs and anything from New Balance). Despite its runner's vibe, this is a spikeless golf shoe that has the potential to rival the likes of Ecco and FootJoy—especially brands that prioritize comfort and performance in footwear. In addition to the tasteful design of the Phantom, the waterproof knit upper and collar of this shoe makes it a wonderful transitional shoe, especially as the cold temperatures break into spring, keeping you cool and dry during those damp rounds.
Adidas 'Go-To' collection
Adidas has been on a tear in the New Year, starting strong with a Malbon Collab and then firing some great additions to its Go-To collection. Designed with a mix of greens and blues, this collection features some fun pieces that are casually cool. From fun textured vests to utility-style rompers, there's something for every type of golfer.
FootJoy training collection
This drop is for our gym-fanatics or soon-to-be fanatics. FootJoy has been named the top-rated shoe on the PGA Tour for decades now. Golfers of all skill sets most likely have the classic FootJoy windbreaker or weather soft gloves. And now you can sport one of the most popular golf brands as you get fit. The new FootJoy training collection features 12 products for men and women, ranging from workout tees, gym shorts, training shoes, and of course a pre-pump hoodie to get warmed up in. Overall, the collection is in the signature FootJoy style -- simple, clean and quite traditional -- and for some, less is more.
What caught our eye on Instagram
adidas TOUR360 "Broken Glass" shoe
A little mosaic, a little geometric, these monochrome white kickers from adidas were debuted by Collin Morikawa at the Sentry, and we can only hope/guess/dream that these will be available to us common golfers and shoe-donners soon. The shoes have the signature adidas three-stripe in an elongated pattern, as well as the recognizable boost technology in the heel and a durable, multi-weather leather upper.
Sunday Golf's 'The Loma' Bag in cherry red and off-white
We're leaving boring, bulky golf bags in 2024. What's in for this year are golf bags and accessories that are minimalist in design, yet remain highly functional, so you get your money's worth. Enter the Loma bag from Sunday Golf—a lightweight bag suited for six clubs for your next range session or par 3-course outing. Every golfer has a unique swing and play style, therefore your equipment should function as an extension of you! We love this vibrant red and off-white two-toned colorway, and amid Tiger's departure from Nike, get your Sunday red fix with Sunday Golf (see what we did there)…and the bag is currently on sale.
Metallics
We love the metallic trend for its slightly upscale take on the golfers’ favorite neutrals. Classic white becomes silvery pearl, warm browns become copper and bronze, and timeless black becomes an elegant iron with a wink of edge. In the golf space, we see the metallic veneer in spiked cleats, seasonal puffers, and accented hardware on accessories like headcovers or stash bags. Below are some of our favorite takes on the trend, all of which serve as versatile luxe additions with just a hint of earthy grit.
Gumtree Golf & Nature Club
The sustainable new lifestyle brand with the Australian-meets-NYC ethos has a capsule with a motto (“just out for a walk”) and a mission to spread a love for nature and encourage earth-minded shopping and playing patterns. We love the brand’s line of bird- (and birding-) inspired gear and accessories that have something for everyone in your foursome from the scientist to the stylist, that work on the city or country golf course—whether you’re playing or charting it—often made with one-of-a-kind, handmade, and upcycled textiles.
"Quick 9" — Nine products that also caught our eye
Bad Birdie Men's Bel Air Vest
Venus Williams x Bombas Ankle Sock 3-Pack
Vintage Ralph Lauren Silk Golf Pants
The golf/pickleball/tennis luxe sportswear brand has an impressive online vintage shop with curated finds to pique the interest of any stuff-obsessed—or shall we say, discerning-golfer, like these breezy and appropriately kitschy silken trousers sketched with old-timey players, mid-swing.
SURF CUZ Lightweight Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket
Sun Bum Signature SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
And speaking of golfing on-the-go, this mini sunscreen is one stop short of travel size: the sleek "pocket" size can be tucked into your golf bag for mid-round application. This unscented formula works with all skin types and is free of the chemicals, ingredients, and animal cruelty you want to avoid.
Puma Golf Men's 101 Evo Pant
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Intensive Cream
TUMI Sport Golf Cigar Case
Malbon X adidas Crewneck Sweatshirt
We can't get enough of this unisex sweater from the recent Malbon X Adidas collaboration, with pieces inspired by Bing Crosby's Clambake (which is now the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am). It's a lightweight layer with a marigold colorway that will match everything and vintage styling to enhance any on-course look.
