Your guide to the futuristic, ultra-modern athletic trend overtaking golf fashion

High-saturation glossy finishes feel über chic and modern, especially when jovially paired with classic old-school golf accents, as seen here in the fringe-style loafer-meets-sneaker design. The kaleidoscopic effect is sure to turn a few heads on the course.

The body sculpting contour here feels very fresh, as does the neon-green stripe cutting an asymmetrical figure. The mockneck is a contemporary choice for golf, though we also love this thrown over a flowy skirt for an off-course look.

These iridescent, geometric sunnies speak for themselves. A “bio-injection” frame, mirror-reflective lenses, UV protectant and anti-fog tech are some of the descriptors for these scratch-resistant nylon glasses whose ultra-modern composition will keep you looking fresh and your eyes healthy.

A fresh take on the little black dress—turned on its head for golf. There’s nothing simple about this monochromatic dress. Cinched waistlines cut an unexpected shape along the bodice, and super-splashy racer-stripe logos trim the silhouette. In the brave new golf world, dresses have hoods and relaxed fits you can throw in the machine to wash.

This high-gloss reversible puffer will keep your body warm while leaving your arms open to swing freely so you can focus on your game. Pair with your favorite athleisure set for errands or golf, or layer over trousers and a polo for an upscale fairways look.

The peek-a-boo mesh design here is both technically sophisticated and visually intriguing, while the militaristic army-green color adds a touch of edge. The sleek white colorway is just as versatile if that’s more your style.

We love this avant-garde take on the storied peplum, associated with decades of fashion from centuries past, and definitely not anywhere near one of the cuts that comes to mind when you think of golf clothes. But here, it’s a powerful, stately silhouette, made extra cool thanks to the sun-protecting dreamy chestnut or timeless onyx fabric.

Grounded in old-school luxe, this take on everyone’s favorite pleated skirt is woven from Italian technical stretch jersey fabrics and has plenty of pockets (how modern!). The moody monochrome design tips this into modernist territory, and the white racer stripes bring the edge.

This little black dress doesn’t look like your typical golf apparel, which is why this silhouette makes this list—it’s taking cues from the current trend toward athleisure, golf clothes you can live in all day long. Zipper pockets, adjustable straps and built-in shorts mean this dress can stand up to whatever activity you have planned that day. And, thanks to the dramatic side slit running along the side, will also take you from day to night without a second thought (even though, ideally, in the future we have much more time for life’s fun things, like girls trips to simulator golf spaces at happy hour …)

Overly bright saturated colors and snazzy designs are a fun place to dip your toe into the trend. The Swedish sports fashion brands offers a master class in the ultra modern trend, so it was difficult to choose which of the season’s golf pieces to feature. We settled on these high-contrast bike shorts that make great layering pieces but also stand on their own.
