8 shorts inspired by Justin Bieber’s golf moment that will make people forget they don’t have a shirt on
Justin Bieber was spotted playing golf without a shirt while on vacation in the Bahamas earlier this week, causing quite the fashion stir, looking relaxed and happy, not at all “sorry.” The Canadian singer paired his topless look with vibrantly colored patterned crochet shorts that hit below the knee, plus a Balenciaga cap to top (pun intended) it all off. If you’re feeling inspired, here are eight of our favorite statement golf shorts to try out this summer—polos optional.
The street style brand has been making waves all spring with its frequent limited edition drops. This new golf short features a nostalgic watercolor print of mallard ducks coupled with a few winning renderings of man’s best friend, a reference to the brand’s punny “bird hunters” collection.
These made-for-water shorts work whether you're laying by the pool or, ahem, searching for stray shots in hazards. The trendy cream yellow color is complemented by watermelon-hued decals of a palm tree, golf cart, and a buddies trip staple: dice.
If it's a typographic motif you're after, these Australian retro golf shorts are modern in silhouette and packed with pockets for storing valuables. Nineties hip hop inspiration gives a laid back vibe great for a casual day of golf with friends.
These shorts are standouts for their color-blocked print featuring all the summery hues of a tequila sunrise (insert Justin Bieber "Peaches" joke here). Not golf-specific but designed for any summer activity from backyard hangs to beach-side bike rides, these versatile shorts can be dressed up or down.
Perhaps the most subtle-yet-still-statement-making look on this list, these versatile golf shorts have a shadowy floral design that plays with opacity to deliver a cobalt take on the classic Bermuda. The tailoring makes these quasi swim trunks great for a long day at the club or whatever adventuring you have up your sleeve.
And now, for those courses that call for shirts (and collars to boot), here are some barely-there, breezy golf tops to match your bottoms, without detracting from their patterned fun:
Inspired by Bieber's crochet short, this airy knit in a toasted celadon is breathy and versatile.
