Skirts and skorts are the perfect option for women golfers. They keep you cool and comfortable so you can focus on the important stuff like learning a new sport or improving your game. Fretting about what to wear on the course is a thing of the past. We've created a guide of golf skorts for women that balances your athletic prowess and your eye for fashion.

Don't know where to start? Check out our collection of women's stylish golf skorts here, and you can be sure you are on par with both fashion and function. When you are wearing a skort, you get the fashionability of a golf skirt or tennis skirt, while the comfort of wearing shorts.

Finding the correct length, pattern, and style can feel like an undertaking when it comes to a woman's golf skort. Some things to keep in mind when purchasing skorts include:

1. Golf Skirt Length

Golf skirt length is a crucial factor to consider when purchasing skorts- it can truly make or break your game. If your skort is too short, you will spend the majority of your time tugging it down, which can compromise your play drastically. You may also be forbidden from playing a course with stricter dress codes if you have a short golf skirt.

By the majority of golf club guidelines, the appropriate length is said to be between 14-18 inches, which are mid-length golf skirts for women, a little longer than mid-thigh. But according to PGA.com a rule of thumb is that if the skort is longer than your fingertips when standing up straight, you're probably fine–that's a few inches above the knee. However, a few very traditional courses require longer skirts below the knee so know your course's dress code.

2. Material of Golf Skorts for Women

It is a mistake to presume that the material of what you are wearing is inconsequential in golf. While choosing the skirt or skort that will help you play your best game, select moisture-wicking fabrics with elasticity, ideally achieved through spandex and polyester combinations. Golf may appear to require less movement, but you will need to bend down to pick up golf balls and swing your club; thus, the material of the skort has to be breathable and elastic.

Here are some additional questions you may want answered:

Are tennis and golf skirts the same?

The short answer to this question is no. Despite appearances, tennis and golf apparel are very different when taking into consideration the requirements of the sport. Considering that tennis is high-intensity, and tennis players are required to run, the bottoms required for tennis should be more agility-conductive material.

Therefore, you can select slightly more form-fitting and compact skorts to play golf than the mobility-centric material needed to play tennis. tualatinhomestoday offers styles like the Serenity skort that are perfect crossover styles as they allow movement and agility required of tennis but are also perfect for the golf course.

What's the difference between a skirt and a skort?

The main difference between a golf skirt and a golf skort is that a skort is a combination of a skirt and shorts, while a golf skirt is simply a skirt. A skort typically features a skirt on the outside with shorts or compression shorts underneath, which can provide additional coverage and comfort for the golfer.

Golf skorts are a popular choice among female golfers because they offer the femininity and style of a skirt, while still allowing for a full range of motion on the golf course. They are also designed with technical fabrics that wick away moisture and provide cooling comfort, making them ideal for hot and humid weather conditions.

Golf skirts, on the other hand, are more traditional and offer a classic, elegant look for female golfers. They are typically made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow for ease of movement and can be paired with compression shorts or leggings for added coverage and support.

Ultimately, whether you choose a golf skirt or a golf skort will depend on your personal preference and style. Both options are designed to enhance your performance and make you look and feel your best on the golf course.

How should golf skirts fit?

The fit of your golf skort can depend on many factors, such as your body type and what styles you prefer to wear while on the golf course. Firstly, there are a lot of cuts, shapes, patterns, and colors you can choose from. 

The first of these is athletic, where the streamlined, sweat-wicking material gives you the look of a top-notch athlete and keeps you comfortable.

Straight skorts are well-suited for all body types, and the waists, in particular, fit you perfectly around the waist and enable swift movement. 

Hourglass golf gear, particularly in skorts, is for the fashionistas and anyone who likes to cut a powerfully feminine silhouette on the course with a figure-hugging, skirt-imitating profile.

Oval skorts usually come with rounded hems and look very shapely both on the course and are a perfect option for brunch right after!

How long should golf skorts be?

According to most club regulations, the ideal length for golf skorts is 14-18 inches. With rules about dressing becoming laxer, you can wear shorter skorts comfortably if your club allows a shorter length. Again, just remember that some clubs require the length to extend past your fingertips and furthermore, some require below the knee. Make sure to know your club's dress code.

Are skorts still in fashion in 2023?

Yes, very much so. With the return of late 90's and early 2000's fashion trends, golf skorts with pockets, buttons, and styles are all the rage with women's golf apparel! With skorts, you can personalize your golf wardrobe with traditionally feminine apparel and still not worry about the breeze being where it shouldn't be! (And who can say no to women's golf skirts with pockets.)

Skorts can be styled as quirky, streamlined, and even elegant- some skorts from our collection fit perfectly into a business meeting right after golf practice- all you need to do is put on a button-down shirt and look like the very visual of a professional!

With the transformation of women’s sports fashion, both golf and tennis have seen some stringent dress code rules being relaxed, and both have seen a vast shift to personalized fashion rather than just being viewed as a sports uniform. Both tennis and golf skirts are fashion statements on and off the courts. However, there are notable differences in the construction, fabric, and tailoring of golf and tennis skirts.

Both golf and tennis skirts have been tailored with built-in shorts to keep the legs of the athlete wearing them free from clingy fabric and yet provide coverage while bending or running as the sport they are playing inevitably demands. These new pieces of apparel are called skorts, characterized by fabric constructing shorts right underneath the material of the outer skirt. Moreover, activewear has become quite the trendy fashion category, and so both golf and tennis skirts have evolved to emulate the athletic, off-duty celebrity look we’ve come to know as “athleisure”. Depending on which sport you play, both golf and tennis skirts are comfortable, flexible, and instrumental in ensuring you have a good game while looking your best both on and off the courts. We are here to break down some of the differences you'll find among golf and tennis skorts but, lucky for you, tualatinhomestoday is committed to helping you create a versatile wardrobe for on and off the course (or court!) so there are an array of skorts that crossover and work perfectly for both club and racquet sports 

Golf Skirts

Golf skirts take into account the kind of movement required while you are playing the game. They have specifications like moisture-wicking material and are breathable given their spandex and polyester fabric. Most golf skirts come under the category of golf skorts, in that they have built-in shorts underneath the skirts. This ensures that you are as mobile as you like without the fear of the skirt riding up your back. Skirts are a new addition to golf fashion, which used to be relatively conservative. Still, now you have a plethora of cuts, patterns, hems, and materials that give you the appearance of a fashionista and a formidable athlete all in one. Skirts sometimes weren’t taken as serious sports apparel, but the construction of golf skirts exudes femininity, style, and athleticism at the same time.

Most golf skirts follow the straight-cut pattern with small slits and the sides of the hem, though some can be oval and flared as well. While pleated skirts are more commonly associated with tennis, pleats are just as fashionable in the world of golf skirts- giving the classy, textured visual appeal and lengthening the skirt and ensuring breathability.  

Frustrated that you have to leave tidbits like keys and extra golf balls very far away from the course? With added features and improvements like pockets, golf skirts now offer the functionality you need and have become a must-have for golf fashion. Not to worry, though, the pockets are sewn into the interior, so outwardly your skirts will be looking just as sophisticated- whether straight or double-hemmed or pleated.

Tennis Skirts

Tennis is the sport best known for being an emulation of elegant, classy fashion while also channeling specifications designed to make the wearer’s game better. Tennis skirts aren’t limited as a fashion choice reserved for tennis courts- they’ve made appearances on runways as an homage to the blooming sports fashion industry and a nod to sports fashion of the past and present. Athletes like Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, and Naomi Osaka have stylized and personalized their tennis skirts to make fashion statements followed by players both on and off the course.

As a staple for workout clothing for sports like golf, badminton, and even football, tennis skirts enable movement like running, jumping, squatting, and stretching. They are made with sweat-wicking, bacteria-repellent light spandex and are usually pleated or offer flow for plenty of movement. Tennis skirts are very unlikely to be form-fitting, although newer styles like the Olivia skorts from tualatinhomestoday offer enough stretch that you can get across the court even with its curve-hugging style. With waistbands made from elastic fabric, and the pleated skirts offering versatility, tennis skirts are a suitable workout gear choice, as well as fit right in while you run errands or chase your toddler!

What’s the Difference?

While tennis and golf skirts have many similarities, such as in fabric and patterns, and both are conducive to physical activities and sport, they have notable differences. Tennis is a higher-intensity game that requires running and greater leg mobility than golf, where you are usually required to stand at your position and then swing at the ball. For that purpose, tennis skirts are generally not cinched around the legs, though golf skirts can be. You also get more leeway in the fabric while playing golf with a skirt than you do in tennis. 

Can tennis skirts be worn for golf?

Tennis skirts can very much be worn for golf games; however, their length sometimes doesn’t meet the dress code requirements of golf clubs since they happen to be shorter on average than golf skirts. You can still pair them with biker shorts or leggings on the golf course. An easy way to assess the correct length of your skirt for a golf course is that the hem of the skirt should be below your fingertips as you stand up straight.

Do golf skirts have shorts underneath?

Yes- such skirts are called skorts, and they are used in many other sports like cycling, tennis, racquetball and pickleball. With shorts usually stitched underneath the skirt, they prevent discomfort by maintaining modest coverage. The flapping of looser-hemmed skirts is also made less distracting by the snug fit of the undershorts built into skorts.

Can you wear a pleated skirt for golf?

You can most certainly wear a pleated skirt for golf for that classy, feminine flair. Not only is it a great visual statement of your fashion savviness, but you can also charm the girls with your fashion choices later at brunch! Check out the Valentina skort from our Heat Collection. Available in White, Black and a soft vintage Blue.

What do you call a tennis skirt?

Why do female golfers wear skirts?

Maybe you are testing out golf as a new sport and don’t want to spend money on expensive gear, or you aren’t well-versed in golf apparel do’s and dont’s and so don’t want to break the bank on the wrong clothing. In any of these scenarios, you can pull staple pieces from your closet and have it work just as well on-course as other newly-bought, golf-specific gear.

It's completely normal to panic a bit about what to wear on the golf course, especially considering that there is in fact a dress code and the fashion manual on the course has the reputation of being strictly professional and streamlined.  

What to wear while golfing as a woman may seem like it has a lot of rules. We are here to help you out with curated pieces from our collection, which you can see here, and match to your existing closet and look just as expert an athlete on your first day as those who have been playing for years!

What to Wear Golfing for Women: The Generally Preferable Uniform

Tops: Everyday Tops That Work For Golf

How to dress for golf: The rules of golf apparel aren’t nearly as rigid as some people make them out to be, so you still have the liberty of playing around with a multitude of colors and patterns for a pop of personality. The first article of clothing you should focus on wearing to tick all the right boxes is a golf shirt with a collar, preferably made from moisture-wicking, light material. 

This is necessary to ensure sweat absorption to let you continue unchecked with the game. Great non-golf-specific options are a classic button-down (ideally with some stretch), a bomber jacket, windbreaker or sport pullover, a light sweater, a short sleeve or sleeveless collared shirt. These days, even a mandarin collar or a ruffle collar would work at most courses. If it has SOME sort of collar, it will probably work. 

What do golfers wear? They don’t wear things that are too tight since they constrict your movement. Don’t wear anything too loose since it is likely to flap around in the wind and distract you from keeping your eyes on the game. These suggestions are based on what would be allowed at the majority of clubs from an everyday wardrobe but it doesn’t hurt to check your specific club’s regulations to avoid getting turned away from playing.

Bottoms: Closet Staples That Work For a Day of Golf

How to dress like a golfer: If you own a pair of breathable, neutral-colored slacks, those are a pretty safe bet for a day at the club, but you want to make sure they have some stretch or allow freedom of movement to bend over or squat down without issue. 

Shorts are acceptable too for women golfers, if they are non-denim and not a workout style gym short. Golf shorts and golf skorts are totally acceptable for female golfers. Just make sure they are an acceptable length and again, provide freedom of movement. 

You can also wear a skirt with a pair of undershorts for coverage unless you have a skort on hand. Wearing a skirt with no undershort is not recommended as there is a lot of bending and squatting to pick up your ball and place your tee and you'll want the coverage to avoid any unwanted exposure. 

Colors are something you can play around with in golf. While the standard khaki, navy, black, white, cream, tan, and beige remain staples of golf fashion, you can have a lot of fun dabbling in colors and patterns. In fact, in recent years, it has become the norm to be more playful and wear flirty golf clothes to show your personality a bit. 

tualatinhomestoday offers a variety of bold colors and printed bottoms as well as the perfect neutrals that are perfect on or off the course if you aren't an avid golfer and are not interested in purchasing golf-specific pieces. Check out tualatinhomestoday bottoms here

Shoes and Accessories

If you are playing during the summers, moisture-wicking options from sportswear brands are key. Choosing the correct pair of shoes are also fundamental to your success on the course. Running shoes with soft spikes of rubber and plastic are suitable for gripping on while you swing your arms and prevent slippage, similar to golf shoes.

If you only plan to play once, you could get away with any pair of tennis shoes but you should know that if you stick with it, grip from your shoes is key in a good swing and successful round. If you have visors or baseball caps from playing other sports, you can use them to keep the sun out of your eyes. However, avoid large cowboy or broad summer hats. A simple wrist watch to remind you of the time is a preferable accessory to wear on the course. 

Much of your game is spent looking toward the sky to watch where your ball ends up making sunglasses a must to avoid spending 4 hours squinting. Socks are also instrumental to keep your feet dry and comfortable. Opt for a performance sock made of a breathable wicking material. You'll also want to have a few other key items in your bag: 

A good SPF 45+ sunscreen (re-apply every 90 minutes or so), a blue-tooth radio, if allowed, to keep your game fun and not let you get into your own head. A ball marker, or some small quarter-sized item to mark your ball on the green. You could also keep wet wipes, sanitizer, lotion, lip cream, a light jacket, a koozie, etc. on hand so that you are prepared for anything! 

Most likely, someone you are golfing with will be happy to let you borrow something you may need, like a rangefinder or divot fixer, during your round but we feel like this list is a great jumping off point to show you are prepared for your day. 

We hope this guide has helped you pull out the right pieces from your closet to make an excellent impression for your first time stepping out on a golf course. Read on for some solutions to more inquiries that you may have:

DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR WOMEN’S GOLF CLOTHES TO PLAY GOLF?

This is both a ‘yes’ and ‘no’ answer. While it is preferable that you wear golf clothes, given that they are made with specifications keeping in mind dress code regulations and have specific properties to keep you comfortable and flexible, you can substitute golf clothes with regular clothing. 

While there is broad consensus among what constitutes the correct golf attire, it is always helpful to read the guidelines of the club you are playing in to understand better what you should wear. The best bet is Chinos, slacks, pleated skirts of the correct length with collared polo shirts.

WHAT SHOULD YOU NOT WEAR WHEN GOLFING?

There are some very specific don'ts of women’s golf attire, and they are: no denim, sweats, yoga pants, no very short pants or very wide-legged loose pants, don’t wear frayed or cuffed trousers of any kind, don’t wear sandals, dress shoes, boots, or slippers of any kind, avoid beanies and hats, and also very heavy, dangling jewelry.

CAN YOU WEAR TENNIS CLOTHES FOR GOLF?

You can most certainly substitute tennis wear for golf since it has added features that make it conducive to tennis's higher intensity. Tennis dresses, for one, are a fantastic option to pull out on the golf course for a great fashion statement. I would keep in mind that some tennis pieces may not have the collar required by many courses. Click here to check out some great tennis options to start you along the journey. 

WHAT DO I WEAR IF I DON’T HAVE GOLF CLOTHES?

Well-fitting (though not too tight), neutral-colored polo shirts, and moisture-wicking, designed-for-sport trousers are the route to choose if nothing in your closet is made specifically for the golf course. You shouldn’t feel compelled to go on a spending spree to start out in golf. Flexible and breathable clothing that follows the guidelines as mentioned above will do just as well.

WHAT PANTS ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR GOLF?

The first cardinal rule on any golf course: no jeans. Not only are they forbidden in many golf courses, but they’re also not conducive to free movement and agility. Skirts, skorts, and shorts are eons more comfortable, given that they leave your legs free from fabric, but you should keep in mind that they must not be too short to prevent discomfort as you continually tug the hem down.

WHAT SHOULD WOMEN GOLFERS WEAR TO GOLF TOURNAMENTS?

The dress code for women golfers at golf tournaments can vary depending on the tournament's rules and guidelines. However, there are some general guidelines and expectations for what women should wear at golf tournaments.

Typically, women golfers are expected to wear a collared shirt or a golf-specific top that covers the shoulders. They may also wear slacks, capris, or knee-length shorts or skirts, as long as they are not too tight or revealing. In some cases, shorts or skirts may need to be a certain length or have specific features, such as pockets or pleats.

Additionally, women golfers may wear golf-specific shoes with soft spikes or spikeless soles. Some tournaments may have guidelines for the style and color of shoes that are allowed.

It's always a good idea to check the tournament's dress code guidelines before attending to ensure that you are dressed appropriately. It's also important to note that some golf courses may have their own dress codes that must be followed, even if they are not part of a tournament.

Tennis as a sport has always been an easy funnel of fashion. This is because tennis giants like Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, and Rafael Nadal have all collaborated with sportswear giants to create activewear trends and fashion statements with what they wear on the courts. Even better for tennis players, the sport has become a favorite new pass-time after quarantine! In the era of the athleisure look, tennis-inspired fashion and activewear works off court too, like if you are going out to eat or for running errands as soon as you step off the court!

Whether you are a profound athlete or have just learned to swing the rackets, our influencer-collaboration range with Megan Heaton combines the classic uniform of whites, blacks, and blues to give a more fashion-savvy look with a nod to vintage country club fashion. For newbies and experts alike, tennis gear needs to combine functionality such as moisture-wicking material, mobility, and a hint of formality with the aesthetics of uniform that reminds us of the legacy of the sport. 

With specially curated pieces that keep you cool, allow freedom of movement and give you the aesthetic of someone who could easily qualify for a Grand Slam, our venture into tennis gear optimizes utility and comfort. 

A clear favorite from tualatinhomestoday- the retro design of our country club dresses are a blast-from-the-past of classic tennis club fashion! Crisp white with pinstripes, this racer-back style dress fits you like a glove so you can torque your arms and run about freely.The form-fitting A-line silhouette of both the Heat Black Dress and the Heat White Stripe Dress exude the powerfully feminine, as well as optimize utility given the moisture-wicking material and the fit-to-flare snugness. The retro and preppy visuals, characterized by the crisp white collar and mesh racerback material give you the look of a player whose backhand is to watch out for as well as one whose closet is formidably stylish! 

Boyfriend polos in laid-black blue and black, easily paired with golfer or biker shorts, are the way to roll if dresses aren’t your vibe. If you value comfort over anything else on the court, the perforated fabric and loose fit doesn’t disappoint. On laid-back practice days, this fit keeps you cool and active, and the outfit works for a quick trip to Walmart after you improve your game. Winters are no excuse for your fashion game to deteriorate. With classic options like our Reagan gray sweater which combines movability, beats out the wind, and a crew neckline that keeps you savvy and cool in the club, exude athletic prowess and stay warm!

Tennis attire of the past combines streamlined athletic wear with comfort and mobility. If you are one to love a hint of vintage, our Racerback cropped polo pays homage to the sharp collars of the past, and with the stretched ribbed fabric emulating the fashion of today. Not a big fan of the stark-white look? The soft, sweat-wicking Tencel and rounded, folded lux neck of our Abigail blue top combines breathability with feminine silhouettes. You can also make quite the statement by pairing either top with our collection of classic pleated skirts, old-school skorts and shorts. 

Here are a few common questions that we hope will set you off as a pro-tennis player and fashionista alike:

What brands do tennis players wear?

Tennis players like Naomi Osaka, our favorite, work with sports-wear giants like Nike, who have collections that are just as fashionable off-the-court as they are on. With edgier additions to the classic lines via cargo-style utility shorts, and with racerback dresses and old-school pleated skirts like the Valentina, tennis players have a multitude of options to choose from. 

 What is the coolest tennis brand?

The combination of classic, preppy, and vintage alike offered by brands like Thom Browne, Girlfriend, and Lucky in Love renders them very popular with the fashion-conscious among tennis players. Like the sound of versatility and uniqueness in tennis wear? Check out our collection here. 

 What is the best tennis brand?

Form-fitting, sweat-wicking designs offered by Tory Burch, Lija, Lululemon, and JoFit are unique options among the mainstream, reliable and versatile options by Nike, Reebok, and Adidas. Brands like Uniqlo nod to the dated, simple tennis look- and didn’t slip a certain Mr. Federer’s notice- plus can match your vibe with precision if you value the classic style. The Nike Court collection remains an eternal favorite, with bold colors and technical styles to keep athletes fresh for every set.  

What do you wear for tennis?

The rule-book for what you wear to a tennis game has altered over the years to combine the classic with the modern and the crisp whites and blacks to vibrant, bold colors. Usually, the tennis club you are a part of will have guidelines about the uniform you are expected to wear. If you are just starting out, you can’t go wrong with sticking to lightweight, sleeveless cotton polo shirts and classic pleated skirts or fitted, breathable biker shorts, which you can find here. Long-sleeved tops and sweaters are a good choice for windy or cold days. 

Next, the correct choice in socks can prevent slippage and truly be a game-changer. Use socks of absorbent material, and make sure the length comes to just below your knees. Shoes are also instrumental in making sure you are comfortable running and jumping. While sneakers and joggers can get the job done, we recommend that you get tennis shoes to take advantage of their specifications. Wristbands are a good accessory, not only to wick off sweat but also to prevent wrist injury, especially in high-impact blows. 

Who makes the best tennis gear?

Every sport you consider playing has its own set uniform, or attire that has become quite particular to the sport, while the dilemma attached to what one should wear while golfing is as old as the sport itself. The common prototype of a “golfer” is the dated look of a polo shirt and slacks in either boring, basic colors or prints that are anything but exciting. We firmly believe that female golfers can very much be stylish, comfortable and athletic while wearing appropriate golf attire. Athletes in other sports have begun to use fashion as a form of expression, which in some cases garners as much attention on the courts as any of their athletic prowess. For example, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, celebrated tennis player, wears bright, splashy colors and thick black eyeliner, quite the sight to behold when she’s within the muted blues, greys, navies, blacks and whites of her tennis-playing counterparts.

Women golfers, historically, weren’t able to put much thought in their attire because they didn’t have the variety of fashionable options available to them today, and so they dressed in whatever was considered within the dress code if they wanted to be taken seriously. However, with brands like tualatinhomestoday, a perfect balance of stylish, appropriate and comfortable is guaranteed. Considering that golf etiquette, particularly where dress codes are concerned, are enforced strictly across golf clubs and competitions, we bring to you some Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to attire on the golf course. This guide assures you that you can wear golf-appropriate attire, that is both fashionable and shows your personality, have it fit you just right and still be taken seriously in what used to be a sport dominated by men.

The Guide to Golf Tops

Do: There are some things to keep in mind when selecting tops to wear for the golf course. The first is to wear preferably collared, polo-style shirts. The material of the shirt you choose is instrumental to your success on the course, so only select cotton, polyester-blend, or microfiber shirts to absorb sweat and keep you cool and well-aired. These can be whatever color you’d like, and whatever style you’d think would be the most flattering and the most comfortable. If you’re confused as to what’s a fashion “yes” in the golf market, check our tops out here.

For cooler days, layer your clothes- sweaters are perfectly acceptable and so are vests. Just make sure your arms have enough room to swing and enable you to have your best game without the wind eating into your skin. Slim-fitted, collared, button-down shirts, like this one are also a smart route to take with a roomy jacket or windbreaker on top.

Don’t: There are some fashion “don’ts” when it comes to golf tops- the first is to avoid tops like tank tops, tube tops, t-shirts, halters, midriff bearing crops, or bathing suit tops. Golf is still quite the conservative sport with very particular apparel guidelines that you will have to follow when playing with clubs and teams. Also avoid all kinds of streetwear like sweatshirts, bomber jackets, or denim jackets. There are exceptions to this rule. You will find some municipal type courses that are not as strict on dress-code but, if your goal is to be prepared to play with any golfer on any course, it’s best to stick to the general dress-code rules.

The Guide To Golf Bottoms

Do: The ground rules when it comes to pants are quite simple. Slacks are welcome, jeans and cargo pants are not. Shorts, skirts, skorts, etc. are all fine too. Selecting the correct material for your bottoms from among your favorite golf apparel brands ensures that you are comfortable on the course and also in tune with the environmental conditions you are playing in. For this reason, select pants or skirts made of airy cotton and light polyester or nylon blend, although we prefer a polyester blend as cotton tends to pill with any friction and doesn't offer the benefits of a performance poly-elastane or nylon-elastane blend. A fashion ‘do’ of golf is to contrast the color of your shirt with your pants, for example, a dark shirt with beige or off-white pants. You can find a great selection of fun, coordinated styles here. When the sun is out, we recommend opting for skorts, shorts, capris, and our favorite option, which has recently skyrocketed in popularity - golf dresses - to keep you cool and comfortable.

 Don’t: One thing to avoid is revealingly short skirts and shorts. The wind and your activity is sure to cause some uncomfortable moments on the course. To avoid the distracting act of pulling down your skirt every few minutes, a mid-thigh skort is a safe length to go with, keeping in mind that some more conservative courses require much longer. You should also avoid wearing things like yoga pants, bell bottoms, and jeans.

The Guide To Golf Footwear

Do: The correct footwear can be the be-all, end-all of your time on the golf course, but it can very much also be an individualistic fashion statement. Golf shoes are most often characterized by hard rubber or plastic soles to hold on firmly to the ground and prevent imbalance and slippage. Shoes with metal spikes are a big no-no at most tournaments and clubs since they cause damage to the course. Plastic spikes or the newest trend, a spikeless sole, are your best bet. If you don’t have golf shoes, you can purchase some or wear sneakers and trainers with a firm grip.

Don’t: Dress shoes, boots and sandals are completely incompatible with the course. Not only will they be uncomfortable, but it’s also hard to make a fashion statement if you are sliding and stumbling every time you take a shot! Many clubs actually prohibit sandals. Although you can find golf sandals with spikes on the market, they don’t fall in line with most dress code requirements.
 

The Guide To Golf Accessories

Do: Appropriate headwear includes visors, straw hats, sun hats, and caps to prevent sunlight from distorting your vision. Be prepared to mark your ball with a cute ball marker (all of our pants, shorts and Olivia skorts come with a custom ball marker attached!). Show your fashionable side by getting golf gloves that coordinate with your outfits! And keep all your gear organized and handy with our Bring It Bag that handily attaches to the arm of your golf cart and rides securely keeping your gear on hand and all together. 

Don’t: Always avoid long, heavy jewelry to prevent distraction while playing. Calluses and sores are a golfer’s plight, but that can be mitigated by buying good-quality golf gloves.

Women’s golf apparel has drastically changed for the better over the last decade. You can follow the specifics of the golf-attire rule book. But you can also feel free to let your personal taste and sense of fashion shine through by purchasing clothing from top fashion-forward brands like tualatinhomestoday, Lucky In Love, Tory Sport, J.

What are the best golf shirts?

The best golf shirts are those that don’t restrict movement, wick sweat away from your body, dry quickly and make you feel confident. Our women’s golf tops keep it chic and comfortable and are available in varying colors and cuts, so you don’t have to stick to the old style polo if you want something a bit more feminine and fun. 

Do’s and Don’ts of Golf

There are a plethora of etiquette rules associated with the sport, like avoiding walking across another player’s putt on the green, not driving on the green, not talking during another golfer's backswing. You can check out our Beginner’s Guide To Golf series to learn more and make sure you are ready for your first real round. If you are looking for the do’s and don’ts that will make you a better golfer, Do work on your grip, bend from your hips, and keep your head angled towards the target. Do choose clothes that are comfortable and give you a boost of confidence, when you feel good you play better - very scientific. And finally, Do have confidence in your game! Don’t stress too much, the more frustrated you get, the harder it is to take a great shot. Don’t skip the range - practice is the best way to be a better golfer.

What should you not wear when golfing?

You should always check the dress code of the course you are visiting but as a general rule, avoid sandals, jeans and general street clothes. Avoid heavy jewelry or anything that will restrict your movement or distract you during play (a really baggy windbreaker that flaps as you swing for example).  

What is acceptable golf attire?

The answer to this is simply based on where you are golfing. Beach resorts may allow their traveling, casual golfers to wear things that high-end, more conservative courses would frown upon. Know your audience and follow suit. No one says you can’t wear fun colors and show personality, as a rule, just know that golf shoes or a tennis-style shoe will be best, no jeans or denim of any kind, and a collar is almost always required for both male and female. Lucky for you, a folded, classic collar isn’t your only option, we love the mandarin collar on many of the tualatinhomestoday tops. As long as the club you're headed to doesn’t have a very specific dress code detailing length of skirt and that a folded classic collar is necessary, have some fun with it!

We've even designed it to have a breathable, zippered shoe compartment to hold your shoes. The mesh sides serve a dual purpose: a) grass and sand have fall through rather than stay trapped and b) the mesh allows your golf shoes to breathe post-round so they don't grow odor-causing bacteria.

What Not To Wear On The Golf Course

Many people think women have to wear khaki shorts and polos to the golf course, but we are here to tell you that it is no longer the case! These stereotypes of boring women's golf clothes are long gone. Ladies - you can still show off your personality while playing golf.

Women’s acceptable golf attire is not only an important subject to understand but it can also be a delightful way to show off your style. Stylish golf outfits are now the norm, not the exception, and to fit in at the clubhouse and on the green you need to know what you’re getting yourself into with regards to women’s golf fashion.

Ultimately, there’s more to it than just being accepted by the style icons you look up to - there’s often dress codes at golf courses that you need to abide by. These dress requirements can vary, so make sure to reach out to your course prior to your tee time to avoid any issues.

WLDA and Symetra Tour Pro, Alex Phillips, says to "Be conscious of the golf course you are going to. Some places, especially public courses, it’s acceptable to wear leggings and just a t-shirt to play, other places you need a collar and your shirt tucked into slacks.” Take Alex's advice - showing up in a halter top and jeans might result in being asked to change clothes.

It’s good to read up on articles like ours as well because, yes, there is the formal dress code of the course, but there’s also the accepted dress code of the people who work and play there, and you want to fit in with your fellow golfers.

But this makes it sound too dour and rules-oriented! While there are dress codes, it’s no different from going to a black tie dinner: you may not be turned away at the door for wearing something casual, but you go because you want to dress up. This is an opportunity more than anything else - an opportunity to show your personal style, class, and personality. Don’t think of a golf course as a place with restrictions; think of it as an outdoor red carpet where you get to show off your best self in the clothes that are appropriate to golf.

Best of all, tualatinhomestoday has taken the difficulty out of the equation: we know what’s acceptable golf attire and what’s stylish golf outfits, and we make sure that our store is stocked with the gorgeous tops, bottoms, shoes, accessories and more that will make you stand out on the course, that will make you look like a golf star - even if this is your first time golfing and learning what to wear.

So without further ado, let’s look into some of the offerings that tualatinhomestoday has prepared for you, to let you know what to wear golfing.

What To Wear: Golfing for Women

Tops 

A collared or polo shirt is always a safe bet on the course. tualatinhomestoday polos are anything but basic. Our Harper, Mia, Kaye, and Grace tops are classic polos with the tualatinhomestoday flair. Most golf courses allow you to wear sleeveless polos as well. If you are looking for a little more coverage, you can wear long sleeve shirts to the golf course, as long as they have a collar. All tualatinhomestoday clothing provides UPF 50+ for added sun protection.

There are so many ways to show off your style with your top from tualatinhomestoday. If you like sleek athletic looks with a classy collar, we’ve got that. Or if you want a more comfortable breathable top with long sleeves that will keep you covered from the sun (or the cold) then we can show you what to wear golfing and what is acceptable golf attire. Take a look through our beautiful collections of tops. There’s not just one style, one cut, one pattern. We know that you want to be you, and we want you to be your best self when you are out on the course hitting that ball. Our tops provide you with the flexibility to bend and twist, lean over and crouch down, all while following the dress code for women’s golf.

Dress Code for Women’s Golf: Prohibited tops on the golf course include strapless tops, t-shirts, halter tops, crop tops, and swimming suits.   

Outerwear

Hitting the links while it's chilly? There are still stylish options for you to wear while keeping you warm. We suggest wearing a vest, sweater, pullover, rain jacket, or windbreaker.  Our Bomber Jacket will keep the wind at bay while you're swinging a club or at brunch. Our Boyfriend Pullover will keep you comfortable and warm while still providing that high level of style you want. Baggy clothing can restrict your performance, so we recommend wearing semi-fitted clothing.

When deciding what to wear when golfing, rarely should the weather dictate your golf game, and just because the seasons have changed and you’re now having to wear a jacket over your stylish collared top doesn’t mean that you have to give up on good looks. These Boyfriend Pullovers and Bomber Jackets look every bit as classy and sophisticated when your sinking that clutch putt as any beautiful top would. The important thing is that the clothes are allowing you to play the game: they’re not a hindrance, they’re a benefit.

Dress Code For Women’s Golf: Prohibited items usually include baggy hoodies, denim jackets, and anything that can become hazardous as you swing.

Bottoms

Don't fret! When deciding what to wear golfing, there are so many options for appropriate golf bottoms. You are able to wear shorts, skorts, dresses, and pants to the golf course. One restriction to keep in mind is shorts, skorts, and dresses must be an appropriate length. Most golf courses consider fingertip length to be acceptable. If you are questioning the length of your skort, throw on some leggings underneath! Or you can wear our Quinn legging and skort combination.

There is nothing better than being out on the golf course on a warm day and being able to show off your legs that you’ve worked on so long at the gym with these gorgeous bottoms. You will not only be turning heads, but also, because of our expert craftsmanship on our stylish golf outfits, you will always have movement and flexibility.

Dress Code For Women’s Golf: Prohibited bottoms on the golf course include JEANS OF ANY KIND, sweatpants, yoga pants, or cargo shorts/pants.

Accessories 

Accessories on the golf course? Of course! Accessories are the perfect way to show off your personal style. We typically suggested wearing a hat on the golf course to protect that beautiful face of yours. Other accessories that are optional to wear include belts, gloves, and tualatinhomestoday's patented “Fringe Its”. Fringe Its allow you to accessorize your shoes and give you a custom look to complete your outfit.

Oh, and don't forget your bag. It’s vital you are able to stay organized on the course and always have your personal items by your side with a cart bag. Check out our Bring It Bag that will fit right over the arm of your cart with a convenient back strap.

When deciding what to wear to play golf, remember that accessories complete the look. They’re the cherry on top of the sundae. A stylish bag, an adorable hat, or the perfect shoe fringe are things to consider when deciding what to wear when golfing. There is no dress code for women’s golf when it comes to accessories, but wouldn’t you rather bring your necessities in a special-made golf bag than in a bulky purse?

Shoes 

Closed-toed athletic shoes are required on nearly all golf courses, and some courses even require golf shoes. Golf shoes typically have spikes on the bottom, but spikeless options are also acceptable, like our new Traveler shoe seen below. You can find stylish shoes that are both sporty and sophisticated.
