Women's Golf Style
Our 16 favorite menswear-inspired polos, sweaters and more for women are perfect for fall golf
Menswear-inspired fashion is all about clean lines and artful tailoring, often reminiscent of structured military jackets, striped rugby shirts or oversized retro sportswear. Of course, golf fashion for women has long taken inspiration from the vintage sweaters of golfing greats, comfy trousers you can dress up or down, and the collared polo’s effortless ease. Lately, in fashion and golf, greater emphasis on unisex designs has led to creativity and collaboration; think the unisex Adidas golf shoes or Malbon’s gender-defying cult following. In this piece, we’ve tracked down some of our favorite fall golf designs that pay homage to the best traditional “menswear” design has to offer, creating a list that’s filled with new classics, like Alo Yoga’s Oxford-style layering piece, and sly styles, as in Dickies’ cropped work shirt.
Daily Practice by Anthropologie Women’s Rugby Mini Dress
This mauve and navy shirt dress is made with performance fabric perfect for lighter plays and cooler days, but it also can be dressed up with a pair of fall boots or hoop earrings. The rugby-inspired striping effect and slightly oversized fit are flattering nods to menswear tailoring.
Tory Burch Women’s Mercerized Cotton Polo
Inspired by sportswear icons from the 1970s, this white polo is a great staple, ideal for on and off the course thanks to the mercerized cotton material that can stand up to plenty of movement and wear and tear. The statement buttons highlighted by the navy piping evoke a suit-and-tie motif, a fun way to bring some old-school prep to your golf wardrobe.
PXG Women’s Snap Neck 1/4 Zip Pullover
In a vintage military-green hue, this pilling-resistant layering piece is versatile for fall and, in addition to flattering side panels, features a mock neck and snap closure, with edgy rivet details happily stolen from men’s structured jackets of yore.
Devereux Golf Women’s 19th Hole Polo
J.Lindeberg Women’s Keisha Skirt
Alo Yoga Women’s Dreamscape Button Down Long Sleeve
Here’s that perfect white button down you’re always searching for, only now designed with ingenious crinkle-woven fabric made for performance; lightweight enough not to restrict movement and remain breathable, while still protecting your skin from sun or other harsh elements. Pair with a matching sports bra, t-shirt and leggings for an on-trend on-course look, or throw on your go-to skort and tie this oversized shirt into a front knot that will take you from the course to drinks and back again.
adidas Women’s Adicolor 3-Stripes French Terry Shorts
The iconic, unisex staple is given a fashion-forward touch thanks to this honeyed sandstone hue. For a different on-trend athleisure look, try the zesty green shorts or classic black, paired with your favorite Sambas and oversized golf tee.
Dickies Women's Cropped Work Shirt
Renwick Caddie Suit
With its crisp white hue, structured fabric and classic collar and button-up look, this jumpsuit takes its style cues from the uniforms of caddies as well as the favorite Oxford. You can also easily dress this one-and-done look up for an off-the-course look.
Malbon Women’s Patterned Vest
Lacoste Women’s Women's Embroidered Fleece Polo Sweatshirt
Menswear is often known for its attention to detailing. The fabric here is made with organic cotton, grown without pesky chemicals or genetic modifications. In addition to the streamlined, warm khaki hue, the stamp-style embroidery along the chest and the wide, original-style collar mimicking the 1930s aesthetic all offer a fresh but timeless appeal.
Wilson Sport Women’s Wynne Cropped Jacket
This upgraded bomber jacket is made for performance, thanks to the stretchy, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric. The earthy bone, navy and black hues are neutral enough to slip right into your existing wardrobe while still offering an on-trend vibe. The best part is the stylistic banding along the back hem and cuff, as well as the matching trousers.
