We're not sure if she was a golfer, but in so many ways women shopping for golf pants can relate to, Goldilocks was on to something. Why settle for too hot, too cold—too short, or too stuffy, when you can get it just right.
We know from experience…it can be quite the task to find pants that you absolutely love and feel comfortable and confident in. The golf pant is yet another staple to acquire for your capsule wardrobe. And as chillier temperatures start to creep in this fall and winter, you’ll need to snag a pair sooner rather than later.
When it comes to the golf pant, more so than off-course pants, you need to focus your energy on finding pairs that have the proper amount of stretch, won’t hold in odors or sweat, and most importantly look good. Allow us to give you permission to splurge just this once—a solid pair of golf pants is a worthwhile investment.
The proper bottom is the foundational element to any great fit. Say you want to go the wide-leg route, your top should be more fitted. Or if you’re going more slim-fit on the bottom, then you can go baggier or looser with your choice of polo (or hoodie). Don’t spoil your potential of being the best dressed person in your foursome, simply because you’re blindly loyal to the pair of joggers you bought a few seasons back. Explore new silhouettes to play with! Whatever your style preferences, we’ve rounded up a few favorites.
From darling kick flare pants to some whimsy prints and patterns and of course—the classics— there’s something for everyone. Discover your new favorite pair of pants to rock on from tee to green, and give your style a refresh before the new year!
