Best Women's Golf Clothes 2025
Take a look at some of our favorite women's golf clothes in this buyers guide


Golf fashion has come on in leaps and bounds in the women's game over recent years and the best women's golf clothes are now packed full of technology with plenty of variety, styles and colors to be had. From the catwalks to the fairways, brands follow trends so they can offer women versatile clothes that can be worn on and off the golf course.
Long gone is a simple pair of shorts or trousers matched with a polo shirt and plain sweater. Instead, we have the best golf tops, best golf base layers, best golf shorts, best golf pants, best golf skorts, dresses, mid layers, jackets, and much, much more.
Women's dress codes at most golf clubs require collard shirt or polo and a pair of non-denim trousers, shorts or a skirt. But of course, many golf clubs have relaxed dress codes and it is worth checking with the club you're playing at if they have a more specific dress code before you go and play.
As for shoes in the clubhouse, it's the same as men, so no boots, street shoes or sandals, and we'd recommend a specific golf shoe with good grip to help you out on course. Check out our guide on the best women's golf shoes for more great examples.
Using technologically advanced fabrics, there are many different styles and colors on offer. Like all women, Golf Monthly's female contributors are different shapes and sizes, and below we have put together a list of the best women's golf clothes that we have tested to help more women perform at their best!
We also recommend taking a look at some of our other buying guides such as the best golf accessories, the best women's golf bags, or if you are in the market for clubs, the best golf drivers for women.

Polo Shirts - Short Sleeve And Sleeveless
The polo shirt is a staple product in any woman's golf wardrobe as it teams perfectly with a pair of trousers, skort or shorts. The basic design is either short-sleeve, sleeveless or long-sleeve, with the latter becoming more popular to wear year-round. Depending on your shape and personal preference, there's also the option to choose different necklines, sleeve styles, and patterns, all of which can combine for a feminine and flattering look.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 14
Fabric: 95% Poly/5% Spandex
+ Choice of colors
+ Excellent shape
- Fitted style
For this sleeveless polo shirt, there’s an incredible 14 colors to choose from and 7 in the collection have a color contrasting zip, which in this case is white and does add a touch of flair to the v-neckline zipped placket.
I would say it’s true to size, there’s no gaping under the arms and the princess seam does contribute to its feminine shape. It’s fitted, but the hem flares slightly and I like this because it falls nicely over whatever you choose to wear on your bottom half, there’s no need to tuck it in, plus you can then show off Golftini’s logo, the pink Martini glass, which is bottom left. There’s enough stretch in the fabric for comfort and if you pair this with a skort or pants, you’ve got a go-to summer outfit.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 6
Fabric: 95% Polyester/5% Elastane
+Comfortable fabric
+ Non-clingy stretch
- Functional not fun top
This is steady as she goes kind of top. As with all UA the Playoff 3.0 Printed is a great sporty top. You feel comfortable swinging in it, it’s not clinging in any of the wrong places, it’s easy care and low maintenance. It is as no distraction as it says on the tim. It’s also not so inspiring, it’s probably not going to be the first pick of the tops - it will however always make the bench!
The UA polo shirt is a favorite for a reason it’s reliable and you know exactly what you’re getting. Upsides are the UPF50 sun ray protection and buttons. It’s a solid fitted top that you can wear at any time and there’s variety in the patterns too.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 9
Fabric: 95% Polyester/5% Spandex
+ Cool and comfortable
+ Great choice of colors
- Not for those who prefer a loose fitting top
A lilac polo with cap sleeves might sound like a basic summer staple, but I was impressed by this one from Pure Golf, which is available in 9 colors. The fabric is soft-to-touch and I was pleased how I stayed cool and comfortable in the heat. The cut is neatly shaped with just the right amount of stretch, and the cap sleeves sit flat without feeling tight or flimsy. The fit is quite tailored, so if you prefer something looser or want extra airflow, I’d go a size up.
It’s a simple design with a half-length zip, but combined with the fact that the fabric is quick dry, anti-crease, and has built-in UVA and UVB protection, it’s one of those tops that you’ll wear time and time again.
Sizes: XXS-XXXL
Colors: 6
Fabric: 86% Recycled Polyester/14% Elastane
+ Ultra soft comfort
+ Excellent choice of colors
- Unsuitable if you prefer a fitted style
The patterned side panels of this polo shirt from Rohnisch take it from a classic looking piece with a four button placket to something a bit more special. It’s very well made, I noticed the high quality of the stitching back and front and the slightly curved hem gives it extra shape. Rohnisch is written on the right chest and compared with other pieces in the collection, I like the fact that it’s quite subtle.
The recycled polyester fabric with UPF 40+ protection feels fine and silky, and the regular fit means there is plenty of room for maximum comfort, so I found it provided complete freedom of movement. I like the soft peach color, but there are 5 others to choose from and the shirt looks great with the Nicky skort.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 9
Fabric: 97% Polyester / 3% Spandex
+ Incredibly lightweight & breathable material
+ A fantastic choice of 9 colors
- You prefer a sleeveless t-shirt to reduce arm tan lines
The Galvin Green Melody comes in almost every choice of colors in the rainbow, making it the perfect option for club team colors, particularly as it is one block color rather than patterned. The solid-feeling sewen collar gives it a really smart appearance and doesn’t require any ironing to stay looking good, wash after wash.
The fabric has a silky soft touch and a lovely sheer sheen that looks really fashionable in the sunlight. It’s lightweight and delicate against the skin so you feel really cool and comfortable, with in-built moisture-wicking properties that prevent you from getting hot and sticky. There’s also UPF 20+ sun protection. The tailoring and shape is really flattering to all sizes, generous around the waist and bust. You can tell it’s been really well-thought out to suit a wide range of body types.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 1 - Black
Fabric: 95% Nylon/5% Spandex
+ Luxurious fabric
+ All-round comfort
- If you’re not a fan of black
The quality of the super soft and stretchy fabric of this polo shirt from PXG stands out immediately. It’s a clean design with a silky texture, not the most summery color in black, but despite wearing it in warm weather, it was cool and comfortable, and paired with PXG’s Apron Pleated Skirt, it’s a chic look.
I like the detail on the ribbed collar and sleeves, which have metallic stripes, and combined with the three-button placket with a logoed tape, this adds elegance to a plain black shirt. The cut is tailored but not tight, with plenty of movement in the shoulders, so it’s not restrictive when swinging a club. The length is good, it’s not too long, so can easily be worn outside rather than tucked in - then you can show off the PXG tab logo at the bottom.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 3
Fabric: 89% Recycled Polyester, 11% Elastane
+ Flattering jigsaw camouflage pattern
+ Stretchy and light material helps you freewheel to your finish
- Extensive washing instructions. You need to remember not to use fabric conditioner with this beauty.
The pattern on this shirt is fun and almost Escher-esque. Like a jigsaw camouflage. I feel if you look carefully geometric lizards will appear, I love this. The fit is relaxed and I found especially comfortable to wear, it looks great over leggings and tighter fitting shorts. A matching skort would be great with this, the pattern would make such a fun golf dress. The available colours are beautiful and there’s something I think for everyone here. They range from bold and bright citrus “Pure Sulfur” to the subtle and elusive sage green “Wonder Silver”.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2 - Navy/Knockout Pink, Blue/White
Fabric: 44% Bamboo Charcoal/44% Repreve/12% Spandex
+ Classy design
+ Stretch fabric provides comfort
+ Highly breathable
- Only two color options
As you would expect from the brand that produces super stylish shoes, it’s the attention to detail on a largely navy polo shirt that makes it stand out. The five button placket is lined with a pink decorative tab with subtle branding and there’s a ‘C’ in pink on the left chest. There’s no disguising the brand’s heritage as the collar is lined with the Italian colors and the tab at the bottom of the shirt is a small nod to Italy.
It’s a regular fit in a lightweight and stretchy fabric, so I found it to be really comfortable. I wore this top on a pretty warm day, but I still felt fresh at the end of the round. I like the split hem, which means it looks good untucked, especially as it’s a nice length.
Sizes: 6-20
Colors: 4
Fabric:
+ Attractive detailing
+ Comfortable fit
- Longer length
For a sleeveless golf shirt, the Ping Nala has a lot of detail. I really like the Mandarin collar with the zip neck opening, but what stands out are the shoulder panels in cornflower blue and the decorative tape that highlights them. There are also curved seams at the front and back and these add to the feminine cut and styling.
Over 18 holes, this top felt very comfortable, the soft fabric is stretchy and there’s no gaping at the armholes. The back is slightly longer than the front and the hem has side slits, so it is designed to be worn outside. But it’s pretty long in the body and I think it looks better tucked in, especially if you pair this top with Ping’s Odetta skort, which has an attractive striped waistband.
Sizes: S-XL
Colors: 1 - Coral Quartz
Fabric: 44% Polyester/44% Recycled Polyester/12% Elastane
+ Distinctive design gives off a classy retro design that will garner compliments on the course
+ Extremely comfortable and doesn't feel restrictive as you swing
- Only one color option is a disappointment but hopefully there will be more to come
I definitely made a statement in this vibrant polo shirt from Penguin. It’s quite bold for me, but when paired with a skort in the same color - coral quartz - it’s a really striking outfit, and will look even better when the sun is out. It has a bowtie print, but I particularly like the color blocking at the sleeves, around the mock neck, zipped placket and at the hem.
The lightweight and stretchy fabric felt very soft against my skin, and with so many fitted tops on the market, I appreciated the unique style and comfort of this loose fitting top, including the decorative false pocket on the left chest with the Penguin logo. Given its shape and the color blocking at the hem, it looked best worn outside the skort.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 1 - Snow
Fabric: 78% Nylon/22% Spandex
+ Beautiful fabric
+ Cool and comfortable
- Only one colorway in this design
This top has such a lovely texture, it’s extremely light and the silky soft fabric felt great against my skin. With its cooling effect and UPF 50+ protection, you’ll really reap the benefits of this sleeveless top on a very hot day. It’s an attractive all-over pattern with a silicone G/Fore circle logo on the back. This brand has a knack of giving clothing an edge, and the contrasting stripe collar and four button placket does just that.
I like the cut because it’s not too clingy and it has a tennis tail hem (longer at the back compared to the front) with small side slits. Wearing it loose with the Aye Poppy skort is a great combination as it blends seamlessly to give the appearance of a dress.
Sizes: 8-18
Colors: 1 - Rose
Fabric: 88% Recycled Polyester, 12% Elastane
+ Soft and breathable fabric
+ Loose fitting
+ Attractive color
- Only one color in this design
I was really impressed with this polo shirt from Stromberg because it’s nicely styled in a gentle rose color and combined with the quality of the fabric, represents great value for money. I like the white contrast tipping on the collar, which is also on the sleeves and highlighted with the word ‘Stromberg’. There’s a rose colored popper at the top of the three button placket, so it’s these details that add style to what would otherwise be a very plain shirt.
The polyester fabric has UPF 50+ protection, it’s lightweight and feels very soft against the skin. It has a feminine cut, and although comfortable and airy when swinging a club, if you prefer a more fitted style, you might want to consider sizing down.
Sizes: 32-44
Colors: 4 - Spritz/White, Atlanta Blue/White, Blue Opal/White, Capri/White
Fabric: 94% Polyester/6% Elastane
+ Stylish design
+ Provides comfort
+ Relaxed fit
- Unsuitable if you prefer sleeves
The standout feature of this sleeveless polo shirt is the textured print that sets it apart from a plain smooth shirt. It’s a very stretchy fabric with UV protection, although it doesn’t feel as lightweight as some other shirts made in polyester. That said, I cannot fault the comfort, it’s true to size and is a relaxed fit, allowing for easy movement and can easily be tucked or untucked for a smart and sporty look.
Attention to detail is very impressive. It has unique silver buttons on the placket that are etched with the ‘K’ logo. The same logo appears on the back, as well as on a tiny sewn-in tab at the hem. I also like the ribbing around the armholes and collar in navy/white, which complements the print beautifully.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 1 (Brilliant White)
Fabric: 95% Recycled Polyester/5% Elastane
+ Ultimate comfort
+ Opti-Dri technology
- You’re not a fan of bold patterns.
This shirt has a fancy geometric print that really stands out for a snazzy look, and I love how this print on the arms of the shirt matches the detail around the hem of Callaway's two-tone geometric blocked skort, making this a very stylish set. The neutral navy and brilliant white are very classic, appealing to a wide range of women.
The downside of brilliant white is that it shows dirt very easily, although it did wash out easily. I love that the material dries quickly and doesn’t crease, so you can wear it straight on out of the wash. This quick-dry quality comes courtesy of Callaway Golf’s Opti-Dri technology, designed to wick moisture away from your body so you don’t feel hot and sticky, even in extreme heat. The fabric has a luxurious, super soft feel against the skin and just enough stretch to be flattering while very functional.
Polo Shirts - Long Sleeve
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 4 Designs - Throwing Darts, Spring Has Sprung, Baby Bloomer, Geo Chip - Petaluma
Fabric: 92% Polyester/8% Spandex
+ Eye-catching design
+ Easy to wear on and off the course
+ Silky soft fabric
- Short length
This is not a standard quarter zip top, as its shape and features lends itself to more of a lifestyle piece that can easily be worn away from a golf course. It has a boxy shape, so a relaxed fit and is made in a cool feeling fabric that has UPF 50 sun protection. I like the blade collar and the elasticated cuffs are not only functional for golf, but they give this top a flattering blouse look.
I cannot fault the comfort of this top, and although I like the length, which makes it versatile, if you wear it on its own, it can show your midriff when swinging a club. I love the Throwing Darts design, and If you pair it with Bad Birdie’s Double Down skort, you’ve got yourself a striking outfit.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 3 - Collegiate Navy, Black, Aurora Ruby
Fabric: 86% Nylon/14% Elastane
+ Standout print
+ Comfortable fit
+ Versatile layer
- Print won't appeal to everyone
This mock neck top is such a useful layer, either worn as it is, or if you need to cover up for a bit of extra warmth early morning or late afternoon during summer months as it pairs perfectly with the Ultimate365 Printed Skort in the same print, which I really like - it certainly stands out and I like the two navy side panels as they break up the contemporary print.
The fabric, which is made in part with recycled materials, is very stretchy, so it’s unrestrictive, and it also features technology that allows you to keep feeling fresh as the day heats up. I didn’t wear this on a particularly warm day, but I did stay comfortable throughout the round with the neck zipped up. It’s a regular fit, so it skims nicely over your waistline.
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Colors: 4
Fabric: 95% Polyester/5% Spandex
+ Cool and comfortable fabric
+ Eye-catching Garden print
- Neckline won’t suit everyone
This is definitely not a traditional looking golf top, but that’s what we expect from A.Putnam that produces golf lifestyle pieces. This long sleeve shirt is made in a very soft double mesh fabric, which feels soft against the skin. I like the Garden print, it’s fresh and works easily with skorts or trousers. The fit is relaxed and it falls nicely without clinging, although it looks just as good tucked in. It’s roomy, so if you prefer a fitted style, I suggest sizing down.
I wore this on a sunny day and given the long sleeves, I was surprised how I stayed cool throughout, even while walking the course. The fabric isn’t see-through, but best to wear a nude colored bra. It’s a piece you’ll want to keep in rotation, not just for golf but for any day.
Sizes: 6-20
Colors: 3 (Tibetan Red Multi/Cayenne, Antique White Multi/Auburn, Emerald Multi/Mint)
Fabric: 91% polyester/9% elastane
+ Striking design
+ Soft and comfortable fabric
- Bold pattern won’t suit everyone
If you’re looking for a standout piece, Ping’s new Lolette long sleeve top is incredibly striking in any of the 3 colorways, although I particularly like the red multi option with its warm tones. The front, back and the outer of the sleeves have an attractive all-over pattern (a fellow golfer commented that it looked Gucci-like!) and this is complemented by a solid color on the side panels, underarm and inner collar.
I like the four button placket of the neck collar and when buttoned up, it feels very cosy. There’s also a tasteful silver Ping logo on the right sleeve. The fabric is soft and stretchy and the top felt comfortable and highly breathable over 18 holes. For an ultra smart look, you can complete the outfit with Ping’s reversible Bryony vest in the same colorway.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 4 (Magenta Gleam-Mauved Out, Navy Blazer-Ash Gray, Intense Red-Salmon, PUMA Black-Strong Red)
Fabric: Shell: 94% polyester/6% elastane
+ Athletic, sporty fit
+ Thin yet flexible stretch material
- It’s a figure-hugging fit that won’t flatter all shapes
This is the sort of golf top that you’ll buy and then end up wearing for so much more than just golf as it has that stylish on-course, off-course look. It’s made from a fantastic stretch fabric that makes it incredibly comfortable to wear and gives you total swing freedom. The arm length is spot-on, so no need to roll up the wrists or push fabric out of the way of your grip.
The bold single stripe design gives it stand-out shop shelf appeal. It has a slightly retro look that will suit the fashion-lover. The on-trend colour choices include a stylish salmon pink and autumnal auburn orange. The 1/4 zip allows you to wear it zipped up on a chilly day or down a little for added ventilation on a warm autumn morning.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 3 (Autumn Embers, Kocho Dream, Midnight Rose, Wild Truffle)
Fabric: 95% Polyester/5% Spandex
+ Patterned sleeves make a statement underneath a gilet.
+ 4 way stretch material is flattering
- Patterns may divide opinion
This top is absolutely beautiful to touch thanks to the soft brushed polyester material, and the inside feels cozy. It acts as an excellent extra layer although I will admit I usually use a thermal base with it to truly keep me warm. It does offer 4-way stretch though which means the fit is wonderful.
I really liked the look of this top as well. The muted tones on the pattern of the Autumn Embers design will go with many other colors, as well as so much of Pure Golf’s other golf collections. I liked the patterned sleeves which will stand out and I liked the neck design too as it was flattering and offered a sporty yet practical fit.
Colors: 2 ((White and Gelato Pink)
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 44% Polyester/44% recycled Polyester/12% Elastane
+ Lightweight and great for layering
+ Mesh material keeps you cool
- Care needs to be taken on the mesh when washing
This layering top is perfect to protect you during your round. I tend to wear long sleeves as much as I can when coaching in the summer and this top is perfect under a sleeveless polo. I like the neckline with a quarter zip, as this combines to its overall modern look.
The mesh keeps you cool and is situated in exactly the places you’d get a bit hot, including under the arms and from the shoulders to the middle of your neck down to the shoulder blades. The fit is flattering and not clingy, but if you wear it as a top layer it would be worth sizing up. It’s made from 44% recycled polyester, so you’re doing your bit for planet earth with this garment too.
Colors: Selection of prints
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 92% Nylon/8% Polyurethane
+ Unique styling with adjustable sides
+ Comfortable fabric
- Looks best outside, so not an option if you like to tuck in
This top is exceptionally lightweight, soft and stretchy and I was also pleased to see that it features UPF 50+, so there’s no chance of any sunburn. There’s also mesh under the arms to keep you cool and comfortable. IBKUL is renowned for its bold and colorful prints, so while this Naomi print might not suit everyone, I really like it, you can team it with a matching skort - that will certainly get you noticed!
What sets this long-sleeve top apart are the adjustable ties along the sides that you can pull and gather the seams to create the length you prefer. For the best look, wear it hanging loose rather than tucking in. This does provide an ultra feminine and flattering fit, and with the two bows either side and collar, this is such a versatile piece.
Colors: 10
Sizes: XS-XL
Fabric: 85% Polyester/15% Elastane
+ Incredibly stylish
+ Excellent choice of colors
- Not an option if you’re looking for short sleeves
This shirt isn’t new for 2024, but due to its popularity, it’s become a year-round wardrobe staple. It’s made in a polyester and spandex mix and the fabric feels almost velvety, as it’s super soft to touch and you can feel its generous stretch even before putting it on. I like the quarter zip, as you can regulate your body temperature and the zip on this shirt is nicely concealed.
The sheer sleeves with a delicate ladder mesh detail and neat fitting cuffs are what set this shirt apart from other women’s golf shirts. It also has an unobtrusive Famara logo in white on the left side of the chest and at the bottom of the right sleeve. This is a glamorous golf shirt and I would be more than happy to wear it on a day-to-day basis.
Colors: 1 (Brilliant White)
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 90% Nylon/10% Elastane
+ Oozes personality thanks to the parrot pattern
+ Comfortable
- The pattern might be seen as too ‘busy’ by some
The vibrant parrot pattern and colors of this long-sleeve top instantly drew me in, reflecting my love for fun, funky fashion in women’s golf clothing. The lightweight, velvety-soft fabric offers complete sun protection while keeping you cool and comfortable. The material is almost translucent but provides coverage, with in-built UVA protection preventing skin damage.
The top is fitted yet flattering, floating lightly over your trousers or skort. It accommodates larger arms and tapers neatly at the wrists, ensuring no interference with your swing. The round neck mock-style collar and long-zip front add style and functionality, with moisture-wicking, quick-dry, and anti-odor properties making it practical for both the course and the clubhouse.
Skorts
Skorts remain popular, probably because they are so versatile. A skort is perfect to wear for a number of different activities, while adding a touch of femininity to a woman's style. There are various colors, designs, fabrics and lengths to choose from so it's not surprising that a skort is a staple in golfers' wardrobes.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 4 - Wonder Silver, Collegiate Navy, Pure Sulfur, Aurora Ruby
Fabric: 89% Recycled Polyester/11% Elastane
+ Striking print
+ Provides
- Length might not suit everyone
I was drawn to the bold, contemporary print of this skort – the close-up effect is almost hypnotic! At 16 inches, this is an inch shorter in length than most skorts, but it suited me. I also really like the wide, stretchy waistband, it was very easy to pull on with built-in undershorts and felt comfortable instantly.
It’s a typical A-line style and it fell nicely over my hips with room to spare. Another notable feature is the piping detail on the two slanted pockets at the front, plus there are two handy welt pockets at the back. It’s a very sporty looking skort in a soft fabric that provides excellent comfort, so if you combine it with a top in the same print, it’s definitely a head turning outfit.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 8
Fabric: 88% Polyester/12% Elastane
+ Eye-catching design
+ Provides ultimate comfort
- No side pockets on skort
Now this is what you call a pleated skort! The classic knife pleats of this pull-on 16” Double Down skort from Bad Birdie might not appeal to everyone, but I love the streamlined look and the way they ripple as you move.
I also found it very comfortable, especially the high and stretchy waistband, which helps to create a flattering fit. The pleats naturally provide an airy feel along with the cheeky front slit, which is designed in this way to give you easy access to the left-hand pocket on the undershorts. I must admit, without any side pockets on the skort, I had to get used to using that pocket for tees. I like the plum Jammy colorway, but there are 7 other colors to choose from, and with matching polo shirts, this is an eye-catching summer outfit.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 1
Fabric: 78% Nylon/22% Spandex
+ Silky soft fabric
+ Flattering A-line shape
- Only one color option
I’ve reviewed a lot of skorts and this is one of the lightest, made in soft nylon that looks and feels like silk. The pattern is very delicate, not an obvious flower print, so fresh looking and easygoing on the eye. It’s a pull-on style and comes with built-in shorts. There’s pockets on the shorts and I really like the concealed zipped side pockets on the skort, they are almost camouflaged.
I felt very comfortable, I didn’t have to adjust the skort or undershorts, and it’s a flattering A-line shape. I did notice that the silkiness of the fabric means that the hem is slightly wavy so it looks like it needs straightening, but this doesn’t spoil the overall effect, especially if you pair this skort with the Aye Poppy shirt, it’s a gorgeous outfit.
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Colours: 5 - Micro Check Navy, Black, Navy, White, Pacific Coast
Fabric: 86% Recycled Polyester/14% Elastane
+ Moves with your body
+ Goes with variety of colour tops
- Micro patterns aren’t for everyone
I am always excited for golf skort weather and this Rohnisch Chie Comfort Skort is worth waiting for. If you like cute and modest this is for you with a decent length skirt and a fit that is not skintight. Its flattering pencil fit doesn’t take away from the comfort, the fabric has four-way stretch so you can really go after your swing if that’s your style of play.
The navy with light blue micro pattern means this skort is not boring or too out there either. It can be styled with the many block colour tops we all have! I have a thing for pockets and belt loops, this skort has both! There’s also the added bonus of a twill style fabric that looks smart even when there’s no iron as this skort is in wrinkle free fabric.
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Colors: 12 prints
Fabric: 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
+ Choice of prints and length
+ Highly functional
- Won’t appeal if you prefer plain skorts
This Golftini skort comes in 12 different prints, but I particularly like the Power Girl design, as the bold green flowers on white really pop and feel so fresh for summer. You can choose your preferred length, either 16.5” or 17.5”, and the deep waistband paired with the similarly wide hem gives it a lovely wavy look.
It’s easy to pull on and feels light and comfortable thanks to the four-way stretch fabric. The built-in white shorts fit nicely and give you that extra bit of confidence. There are two back pockets, and one has a Grosgrain ribbon trim to keep your scorecard in place. There’s also a small front pocket that’s perfect for tee pegs. With so many matching tops in the Golftini range, it’s easy to put together a standout outfit.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 3 - White, Maliblu, Navy
Fabric: 75% Nylon/25% Elastane
+ Beautiful fabric
+ Comfortable fit
- No side pockets
The johnnie-O Ashlyn skort is designed to be worn for a number of different sporting activities and from the golf course to casual. It’s easy to pull on, has a deep waistband and I like the simple and classy style of this skort with a single pleat on the left-hand side. What really stands out for me is the lovely texture of the non-crease nylon fabric, which has 50+ UV protection.
The built-in shorts have a pocket on each side and they fit very comfortably, and there’s also a small invisible pocket on the back above a raised j-O logo. But that’s the only downside for me, I would like at least one convenient side pocket for a few essentials. However, I’d definitely overlook this as the skort looks and feels so good.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 4 - Coral Quartz, Charm Pink, Black Iris, Bright White
Fabric: 45% Polyester/45% Recycled Polyester/10% Elastane
+ Beautifully styled
+ Provides comfort
- Pleated design might not suit everyone
Pleats are giving women’s golf fashion a sporty look and an extra feminine touch. I really love the cut of this A-line pull-on skort from Penguin and the way the box pleats hang from the deep waistband. The lightweight and stretch fabric allows for a flexible fit and the built-in undershorts have a seal at the hem, which does stop them from riding up.
I also like the way the slanted side pockets blend seamlessly into the pleats, and they are nicely finished with neat stitching at either end. At 17”, I found this to be a flattering length and the pleats had just the right amount of swish on the golf course. I was surprised how much I like the vibrant coral quartz color, and paired with Penguin’s Pete’s Bowtie polo shirt, this is a statement outfit.
Sizes: 6-20
Colors: 5 - Cornflower Blue, Navy Paradise Garden, White/Neoteric, Vibrant Bloom, Sweet Pea
Fabric: 95% Recycled Polyester/5% Elastane
+ Ultra feminine
+ Choice of prints
- Flouncy design might not appeal to everyone
The design of Ping’s Odetta pull-on skort has such a flattering shape, especially at the back where the soft pleats create a lovely fullness and flow. There’s plenty of detail to appreciate too. The front panel is flat, which gives it a clean look, and there are two handy hip pockets at the sides (though no pocket at the back). I like the striped elastic waistband that wraps from the sides to the back, as it adds both comfort and a bit of sporty flair.
It comes in five different prints, all of which can be matched with polos in the same or coordinating patterns. The fabric has a good amount of stretch, so it’s comfortable to move in, and the built-in shorts fit nicely. For me, it’s one of those pieces that instantly lifts your look and your mood.

- Dry clean only
Pleats are definitely having a moment for spring/summer 2025, and I really like this unique take from PXG. The skirt is half-pleated at both the front and back, which gives it a modern twist, and the black and white colourway - PXG’s signature - makes it seriously striking. At the front, just under the waistband, there’s five silver PXG snap buttons and at the back, the elastic waistband adds extra comfort, and there are two pockets.
There are also two front pockets, and I was impressed by how deep they are.I like the side zip fastening too. It’s made from a four-way stretch fabric and has built-in biker shorts, so you get great freedom of movement. The quality really stands out, although it’s worth noting that it’s dry clean only.

+ Fun pleats
+ Silicone grip inside shorts
- Very short
I loved this skort, so fun to wear and in my favourite golf colour - navy! It is pretty short and I’m a half-pint at 5 '1". That being said, the pleated version is a great addition to the UA Drive knit skorts which have a straighter cut front and back. This feels like a playful skirt and when the sun is full beams on it’s the kind of item you’d like to pull out.
I’m a bit of a navy fiend so that got me, the skort also has pockets, is stretchy and doesn’t inhibit your movement in any way. Easy care, low maintenance the pleats are more wavy than pressed. The silicone grip inside the shorts means they don’t move around whilst you play. This is wear, wash and repeat for me.

- Length is quite short
Nivo’s Abi skort is a prime example of a summer wardrobe essential. Crafted from sporty stretch Lycra, it offers a fantastic fit. The Lycra fabric hugs your skin, providing a flattering silhouette while remaining soft to the touch and very comfortable to wear.
Underneath, matching Lycra shorts offer comfort and privacy, ensuring full freedom of movement for your swing. I love how the material floats at the back of the skort, thanks to the elegant folds.
The downside is that the skort does tend to be quite short, so if you have long legs you may find it looks more like a mini skirt.

- No back pocket
British brand Famara is known for its art-inspired designs, and the Forget Me Not A-line skort, Forget Me Not, primarily in purple - a color that's definitely on-trend for 2024 - is one of five unique designs. it's easy to slip on, and I was impressed by the quality of the fabric and stitching detail, which gives it a luxurious look and feel.
The A-line design will flatter most female golfers. While it fits snugly, the sculpted shape provides comfort and an attractive appearance. I also appreciate the wide waistband, which, combined with the stretch fabric, ensures a comfortable fit. There’s a deep pocket on the left-hand side at the bottom, perfect for a few tee pegs. The in-built shorts come with a small pocket and since they are attached to the waistband, they stay perfectly in place.

I’m not usually someone who goes for stripes, but the pinstripe pattern on the Bovey trousers from abacus is so subtle that it won me over. I wear a size 10 (Euro 36), and these fit me perfectly - honestly, one of the best-fitting pairs I’ve tried this season. They sit just right on the waist and the stretchy fabric moves with you in all the right ways for a flattering shape.
There are two front pockets and two at the back, each finished with tiny silver studs etched with the word ‘abacus’, and the same goes for the snap button at the top of the zip fly. I also like the split at the bottom of the hem, which adds a bit of interest to the ⅞ length cut. These trousers are such a great addition to my summer wardrobe.

- The midrise fit feels on the large side
These trousers have long been a favorite of mine, I’ll admit to letting out a gentle squeak of excitement when I saw the Wonder Silver color. Such a feminine shade of silvery sage, perfect to match with the other items in the collection but also looks extremely classy with navy.
The wide waistband creates a seamless silhouette when paired with a more fitted top. The trousers are so soft and light to the touch they are easily one of the most comfortable pairs I own. I’d be tempted to size down as they do fit generously but this is one of the appealing features. UPF 50+ keeps you safe in the sun but cool on a hot day. I’m beginning to cover up more and these are the perfect pair of Summer trouser.

- They’re quite long and I’ve got long legs, so won’t fit everyone
Wide leg trousers wouldn’t be my first choice of bottoms but Penguin have converted me. A relaxed option for any conditions. The double weave fabric keeps you the perfect temperature and dries out fast, the fabric is so featherlight you won’t notice that there is a lot of it.
On a breezy day the flapping fabric didn’t bother me although it did make a noise like gentle sails in the wind. Quite a relaxing noise really! Deep zip side pockets are brilliant as are zipped and the fabric isn’t too stretchy so your items don’t drag the fabric down. The back pockets house a large phone brilliantly and again the wide elasticated waistband doesn’t budge. Aside of being a great choice for golf I will be wearing these off the course a lot.

- Ankle length might not suit everyone
I think a pair of black pants is a must-have in any wardrobe, no matter the season. They’re so easy to dress up or down, and they go with just about any color or print. That’s why I really like these pull-on ankle pants from Swing Control. They’re not just your basic black, the subtle plaid pattern gives them a bit of edge while still being versatile.
There are four color options to choose from, and I found the two front slant pockets and two back welt pockets really practical. The fabric is lightweight, very stretchy, and has built-in tummy control. I felt comfortable in them straight away, and over 18 holes they held their shape perfectly. I’m a UK size 10, but the US size 4 fit me best, so something to keep in mind when ordering.

- Length won’t suit everyone
To be honest, I’m not sure that pedal pushers suit the shape of my legs, but they are a great option if you prefer to keep your knees covered but want something shorter than ankle-length pants. What I really like about this pair from Famara is the sheer variety, as there are 13 colours to choose from.
The fabric is incredibly soft, and I was genuinely impressed by how well they held their shape after 18 holes. Functionally, they tick all the boxes with two stud-closure back pockets, two front pockets, a zip fly and button fastening, plus belt loops. I also like the subtle Famara logo at the hem on the left leg. They work just as well off the course as they do on.

These are a striking pair of pants, especially in this green paisley print. I found them effortless to pull on, although the side zipper does make it even easier. I would say they are mid to high rise, so they sit comfortably and the soft elasticated waistband and stretch fabric contribute to the overall comfort of these pants. Surprisingly, the fabric is also water resistant.
I’m 5ft 5” and I like the length, they are definitely ankle pants! The standout feature is the double piping detail down the side of each leg, and I also like the cut-out at the hem as this makes them a bit different, and they don’t cling too tightly around the ankle. There are pockets back and front, and performance wise, they held their shape over 18 holes, no need to keep pulling them up!

KJUS is renowned for performance-driven clothing, and it’s easy to see why with these ⅞ treggings, which resemble trousers but feel like leggings. I found them easy to pull on. I like the high-rise waistband with belt loops, and because the luxurious and water repellent fabric is so stretchy, they instantly felt comfortable.
On the golf course, I certainly stood out in the Spritz color, but I felt good, as they were so easy to wear and with two back pockets, one of which has an anti-slide strip to keep your glove safe, and two slanted front pockets, they are functional too. They are ankle length and highlighted at the hem with a slit. If you like and suit a slim fit trouser, these are a versatile option to wear all year round.

These pull-on pants certainly live up to their name as they are exceptionally stretchy, and I was impressed how they moved with me, yet kept their shape nicely. The fabric is also lightweight and very soft so it feels great against your skin. They sit comfortably on the waist, and I found them to be incredibly flattering.
What sets these pants apart from others of a similar style is the quality of the stitching, especially down the front of the legs and around the front and back pockets, as this adds to the superior finish, which also includes double belt loops and concealed zippers at the ankles. These pants are incredibly stylish and versatile - they machine wash well and can easily be worn on or off the golf course.

- Not for women who prefer a pull-on pant
As the name suggests, these pants with COLD.RDY technology are designed to keep you warm, and they do just that. I was really impressed by the amount of warmth they provide, which also meant a cosy feel, thanks to the fleece-like fabric on the inside. They are a slim fit, but there’s enough stretch for comfort and I found them to be a flattering shape.
Pull-on pants are popular at the moment, but I like the zip fly, the fairly deep waistband with belt loops. There’s also the added detail of slits on the side seam at the bottom of each leg and two pockets at the front and back. These pants are not only warm, they are also water repellent, so a great option for winter golf.

If you prefer wearing leggings to trousers but don’t find them warm enough in the winter then the Callaway thermal golf trousers are your answer. Offering a super stretch fit, they literally mould to the contours of any leg shape, allowing total swing freedom of movement. The material is thick yet soft to touch, adding that all-important barrier to the wind on a cold day.
There are pockets galore, with a slanted front pocket and hidden back pocket that’s big enough to hold a scorecard. The silver button is a nice feminine detail to the fastener. The Callaway thermal trousers are available in a variety of leg lengths to suit everyone from tall to petite and are machine washable, which means they’ll stay looking and feeling like a new pair round after round.

These Footjoy trousers are one of the most comfortable and well used pairs I’ve ever owned. I love that FJ offer two leg lengths and the 4-Way stretch is off the charts. I have worn these in really wet conditions and I can 100% say that the water literally just beads off. The Thermoseries material combines technical knit and woven fabric which repels water but also offers extreme thermal qualities.
This warming element is thanks to the brushed back twill fabric that retains heat so they keep me so cosy coaching on top of a hill in stormy conditions. The stretch means they are extremely comfortable on. I actually pulled them on over the top of another pair of trousers in a bid to stay warmer when temperatures dropped. The Jean styling means they look smart and although they came up large I wouldn’t size down.

To start with, these are easy to pull-on pants that have an amazing amount of stretch. Also, thanks to an inner waistband that has silicone tape features, the Treggings hug you in all the right places for a secure and comfortable fit. In testing, we found that the flat front emphasises a flattering shape and there’s also belt loops for if you want to accessorise, especially as these pants are suitable to wear away from the golf course.
Despite being water repellent winter pants with a brushed interior, they feel lightweight and offer significant warmth. The entry to the two front pockets also has contrasting color details as well as a soft lining, and one of the two back pockets is designed with a silicone gripper to stop your scorecard from sliding around. These pants are worth considering as they are luxuriously designed and highly functional in cooler weather.
Shorts/Dresses
Summer golf is when we have the best choice of clothing and in addition to skorts, we have shorts and dresses on offer. While they might not be as popular as skorts nowadays, shorts are here to stay, and many here to stay and with many brands now producing dresses, more women are choosing giving them a chance.

+ Lightweight waffle fabric keeps you cool
- Thin fabric that doesn’t come with shorts might feel a bit risqué for some
I cannot begin to say how much I am in love with this dress, especially off the course. Paired with some funky spikeless golf shoes or wedges you can head straight from the course to the cocktail bar wearing this. When on the course I added my own shorts underneath as I just felt a bit exposed without them!
The waffle pattern on this super stretchy and lightweight elevated Japanese fabric moves with you and keeps you cool on hot days. The buttons on the shoulders and down the right side are a fashionable detail and flatter no end. The contrast white neckline and sleeves give ample coverage and will flatter whilst adding a dash of class. The Little Black Dress is now hitting the fairways and I think every woman needs one of these in their wardrobe.

This dress feels incredible on, and it felt extremely comfortable when swinging a club.The upper body has an almost panel feel to the torso as it sucked me in like good shapewear. It has a full pleated skirt, which flicks out in a flirty style. The undershorts are longer than hot pants so maintain modesty even in the wind.
The color choices are fun and feminine. The material is thick enough to be flattering and not clingy, while the TwistKnit tech regulates your temperature, so ideal for summer golf. This dress is made from using 70% recycled materials, which means adidas tick a big box in my camp.

- Not an option if white is really not your color
If they haven’t done so already, women do need to give dresses a chance. When I first saw this dress, I wasn’t sure it would suit me, but I absolutely love it and it will look even better when I’ve got a tan! This dress is made from a soft fabric with generous stretch, it comes with built-in undershorts and is nicely lined, so I found it to be comfortable and breathable. Also true to size without any gaping under the arms.
In plain white with a simple two-tone ribbon trim, it’s the dropped waist and v-neck collar that creates such a chic and flattering look. There’s a very small pocket at the front for a few tee pegs and a nicely concealed scorecard pocket at the back, which is highlighted by Golftini’s Martini glass logo. So versatile, ideal for golf, tennis or any other lifestyle activity.

I really like the length of these adidas Bermuda shorts - the 7" inseam is just right. They have a relaxed fit and are made from a lightweight, non-crease fabric that feels easy to wear. The zip fly and button closure give them a smart finish, but it’s the elasticated waistband at the back that adds that bit of extra comfort and gives a roomier feel.
They're available in three classic colors - black, navy, or white - and feature two front pockets with a subtle piped detail at the opening, plus two welt pockets at the back. There’s also a small slit at each hem that adds a nice design touch. These are shorts you can wear anywhere. I wore them for 18 holes and found them super comfortable the whole way round.

- You don’t like the look/style of clingy stretch fit shorts
This is a really sporty fitted pair of shorts that give a very athletic look. The 4-way stretch fabric really moulds to the contours of your legs, which will particularly suit women with an athletic build. These shirts would look just as great worn to the gym for a work-out as they do for walking the golf course. The beauty of the stretch is it gives total swing freedom of movement and along with an elasticated waistband you really do get a very comfortable fit.
You do need to wash these shorts on a cold cycle to avoid shrinkage but the bonus is that the fabric doesn’t cease and dries quickly. Another added benefit is that the fabric repels water, so if you get caught in a shower you’ll stay dry.

- Short length
Shorts are definitely getting shorter this season, and while this pair from G/Fore aren’t the shortest out there, the 4.5” inseam still gives them a modern, sporty look. They sit beautifully on the waist and fasten with a double hook and bar above the zip fly, which adds to the tailored feel. The fabric feels luxurious, with just the right amount of stretch.
The A-line shape is super flattering and doesn’t cling. There are two slant pockets at the front and two welt pockets at the back, giving you more than enough room for tees, markers, or anything else you want to carry. I also love the seam detail down the front of each leg — it gives them a sharp, tailored appearance. These are shorts I’ll be wearing both on and off the course all summer long.

- You prefer the more feminine look of a skort or golf dress
The classical pair of shorts have made something of a fashion come-back this season, making the Galvin Green Petra a real wardrobe essential. The navy will be particularly popular with golfers who play in teams. The fabric is incredibly lightweight to touch, with a delicate sheen and soft finish that makes it really comfortable to wear. The tailoring is generous enough to allow all leg shapes and sizes, even pear-shape thighs. There’s a little bit of stretch also which gives you that added freedom of movement in the golf swing and keeps the shorts in place as you walk 18 holes without them riding up. Two deep front pockets and double rear pockets give plenty of options for tee storage, and if you like to tuck your shirt inside and wear a belt there are loops around the waist band.
Mid Layers
The mid-layer is an item of clothing that you should never be without. During winter months, we know that layering is key to keeping us warm while still managing to swing a club. In spring and summer, either before the sun comes up, or when it goes down and there is a chill in the air, having a mid-layer to pull out of your bag and slip makes for a far more enjoyable round.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 2 - Twilight, Knockout Pink
Fabric: 99% Wool/1% Polyester

- Dry clean only
This is a gorgeous jumper in soft merino wool. It’s a very fine knit and it felt good as soon as I put it on. The color blocking, a striking brighter blue on the black that complements the navy, and the contrast stripe details on the cuffs in blue, white and green are what makes it interesting. The crewneck collar, cuffs and waistband are ribbed for neat and tidy shaping, and the embossed G/Fore logo on the chest adds to the classy look.
It’s a relaxed fit, and I really like the length, as it’s not too long, and sits nicely just below the waist. I’ve worn this jumper for golf over a polo shirt, but I must admit, it’s become my go-to off the course worn on its own as it feels so comfortable. Just wish it wasn’t dry clean only!

- Only two color options
Given the quality and stylish design of Duca del Cosma’s shoes, it came as no surprise that their new women’s apparel collection lives up to the same standard. The fabric of this sweater, which looks and feels like a lightweight jacket because of its full zip, is luxuriously soft. It’s easy to spot the heritage of the brand as the inside of the collar and a tab at the side featuring the colors of the Italian flag - a subtle, elegant detail.
I like the pronounced princess seams back and front, as they create a flattering fit and also like the thumbholes for when you need a bit of extra warmth. It’s fairly fitted, but there’s plenty of stretch so I didn’t feel at all restricted. It’s lightweight, so an ideal layer for summer golf, or to wear under a jacket in the winter.

- Style won’t suit everyone
You can always rely on G/FORE to offer products that are colorful and fun, just like this light blue hoodie. Due to it being oversized and so fairly baggy, this is a lifestyle piece that you’re likely to wear more often off the course. It’s ultra casual with very wide sleeves and has a kangaroo pocket at the front for extra warmth. A multi-colored logo takes up most of the right sleeve, and on the back in bright pink it says, ‘No1 Cares What You Shot’. This hoodie will definitely draw attention, it’s not what I would normally wear, but it did bring a big smile to my face. I love the soft fabric and as soon as I put it on, it felt so warm and cosy that I didn’t want to take it off.
Colors: 2 (Peach, Violet)

I liked this mid-layer so much more when I put it on. The peach color is really refreshing, although it’s also available in a darker shade of violet. The shoulders have a quilted navy fabric that contrasts nicely with peach, and this detail doesn’t just make you look and feel good, it also provides extra warmth.
It’s very cosy with brushed fleece on the inside that extends up to the high collar, and there are two zipped pockets on either side. I would say that it’s slightly shorter in the body than some other mid-layers on the market, but it’s comfortably stretchy and the overall fit is flattering. Also, the Abacus logos are a nice touch, a sewn-on tab bottom left and the brand name written in silver on the back below the collar.

- No arm protection from wind and rain
Gilets are a must-have winter wardrobe essential. Ideal for a chilly winter’s day to keep your body warm, they are ideal for players who like their arms to be free of thick clothing for improved swing freedom. This FootJoy ThermoSeries vest has a soft, padded body that zips up tight with an extra layer of poppers to improve the fit, keeping you warm.
The shaped fit ensures it doesn’t bag in the way of your arm hang for putting. The knitted collar gives extra wind protection and traps warmth around the neck, as do the clever cuffs. It’s both windproof and water resistant and comes in a choice of a bright blue or navy blue, each with a pretty pattern detail that is subtle yet stylish.

- The neck is very long, so it’s hard to wear fully zipped
This definitely did not have a hanger appeal to me, but wow, when I put it on I fell in love. Available only in bright white with black detail, it is a true Jackie O inspired piece that teams beautifully with the Pocket skort. This would garnish any golfing and fashion loving woman’s wardrobe.
The fabric, which has an eco-friendly stain/water-resistant coating is heavy, but not overbearing and it fits beautifully. The neck is super high and would suit a woman with a long torso far more than me. Though I will be living in it, not just on the golf course but with heels and skinny jeans or a pencil skirt. Sheer brilliance design wise and this brand is a game changer when it comes to women’s golf fashion.

As soon as you pick up this sweater, you can immediately feel the luxurious smooth and soft texture of the fabric, which is a stretchy wool-knit blend. It’s true to size and while the design is fairly simple with just the contrasting color ribbing on the waistband and sleeves, it’s very striking.
The boat-neck is a design that is uncommon in the current women’s golf apparel collections, as zipped mid layers seem to be very popular at the moment, so this is a welcome change and I found it very flattering. It has ergonomic seams for comfort and I really like the understated ribbing that runs along each side and under each arm.

- Patterns might not suit everyone
When an item of clothing is reversible, you immediately feel that you’re getting value for money, and that’s true of this Ping Bryony vest, especially because it’s patterned on one side and a plain color on the other, so you can mix and match depending on your mood! It’s well insulated, yet lightweight, so a very useful layer over a long-sleeve polo shirt or sweater. The patterned side has two patch pockets and, like the zip, are detailed with a silky strip for a quality finish, and I like the shiny silver Ping branded stud fastening of the pockets on the reverse. The length is good and it’s not too fitted, in fact it’s quite roomy, so comfortable to wear over one or two layers. You can also match this vest with a Ping long-sleeve shirt in the same colorway.

This limited edition sweater is from Golftini’s Awareness Capsule that launched in October for Breast Cancer Awareness month. It’s made in a lightweight cosy knit fabric, has a gentle ribbed crewneck and the standout feature is the hot pink butterfly just above the left breast, and this color combines beautifully against navy.
It is a fitted shape, but with some stretch it the fabric it layers comfortably over a polo shirt. I also like the side splits at the hem as this adds to the modern styling, as well as Golftni’s Martini glass logo in light pink at the hem. The great thing is that it doesn’t really look like a golf sweater, women will be more than happy to wear this timeless design on its own with a pair of jeans.

- Bold print won't appeal to everyone
This is not a pullover in the traditional sense because it’s made from a lightweight, silky soft fabric that includes 30% recycled materials. It has a vibrant all-over floral print that will definitely get you noticed on the fairways this summer.
Top marks for versatility because the relaxed fit means that you can easily wear this mid layer on its own, like a long-sleeve shirt, or you can create a complete outfit with Puma’s sleeveless shirt in the same print, so it’s an ideal layer for covering up if there is a chill in the air. The ¼ zip extends to the mock neck, great for regulating your body temperature and one of the key features of this layer is the You-V UPF 50+ protection against harmful UV rays.

- Not as warm as I thought it would be.
A beautiful and sporty slim fitting vest. It is stunning on but I definitely need to size up. It’s fairly slimline in its appearance and weighs next to nothing. Filled with goose feathers galore this kept me warm but not as warm as I thought it would so I’d opt for a thermal base layer underneath. The blue is striking and the details around the pockets and sides give it a sporty feel. Taking of pockets there are many! Inner pockets for cards and keys, side pockets perfect for scorecards or gloves. The side panels are so soft and stretchy and the neck is high keeping wind out. It keeps the rain out thanks to the taped zips. Highly breathable and multifunctional this is a seriously stylish bit of kit.

- Not an option if you’re not looking for a classic design
This plain knit, regular fit sweater in an organic cotton and elastane mix is noticeably soft and lightweight with a finely ribbed hem and cuffs. It’s stretchy, but holds its shape after a round of golf and a machine wash. What appeals to us most about this useful spring/summer layer is its timeless, classic design, which is so smart.
It comes in three color options with decorative stripes highlighting the v-neck. If you wear this sweater paired with Rohnisch’s navy Chie capris, while it might look and feel plain compared with the variety of brightly colored and patterned outfits available to women golfers, in our opinion, it’s a very classy looking combination that can definitely be worn on the golf course and beyond for years to come.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 3 (Charcoal, Navy, Black)
Fabric: 100% Polyester
+ Great value
+ Stylish fur collar and fleece lined pockets keep you warm
- Material feels less luxurious than some other brands
This is one of those colors that will go with absolutely everything. The material they’ve used is quite shiny and not necessarily as luxurious to feel as some other brands but don’t let that alarm you, this is possibly one of the most versatile pieces I’ve seen in a golf lineup.
It isn’t too bulky and feels light on yet practically does a great job keeping the weather out. It looks brilliant with jeans and brown boots going out to the pub for Sunday lunch. It screams sophistication on the golf course. The fake fur collar looks classy and keeps your neck warm. My favorite part of this is the fleece lined pockets that kept my hands from losing feeling. This offers great value and would be a good addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
Colors: 6 (Black, Hot Pink, Lavender, Peri, Turquoise, White)
Sizes: XS-XL
Fabric: 92% Nylon/8% Polyurethane
+ Incredibly lightweight fabric
+ Modern styling
- Some women might prefer a looser fit
You have to wear this hoodie to appreciate the fabric - it is so soft and lightweight. Like all Ibkul products, they are designed to protect you from the sun with UPF 50+ and provide ultimate comfort, incorporating technology that keeps you cool and dry.
The sleeves have an inner mesh, which is another cooling detail, as well as thumbholes so you can keep them in place. Be careful not to snag them with jewellery. It’s true to size, there’s plenty of stretch in the fabric, although it does have a clingy modern cut. I really like the neckline and the way the hood sits at the back - handy if there’s a sudden shower. Available in a variety of colors, it matches the Flounce skort in the same fabric beautifully.
Colors: White/Cool Gray, Black/White, Navy/White, Camelia Rose/White, Alaskan Blue/White
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 90% polyester 10% elastane
+ Comfortable and versatile
+ Modern and sporty design
- Snug fit won't suit everyone
If you’re looking for a versatile layer that you can wear throughout the year, either as a lightweight jacket during milder months or as a mid layer when it’s colder, then the Destiny is worth considering.
The first thing you notice is the soft and stretchy fabric that fits for a sporty look with a feminine and snug cut. It does not only provide comfort for complete freedom of movement, but the thermal insulation is spot on. The white/cool gray option is not the most practical colorway, makeup will easily transfer onto the collar when it’s zipped up, but it is machine washable and the fabric is quick dry, so it’s worth it for such a super smart layer that women will be happy to wear on and off the golf course.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 2 - White, Black Iris (navy)
Fabric: 23% Recycled Nylon
+ Playful style
+ Sustainable materials
- Not for the golfer who opts for a safe wardrobe
This jumper is made of super soft knit fabric with the most fun, colourful pattern I’ve ever seen on a golf jump for some time. Purple Cactus Flower is a mix of bright purple, green, yellow and brown. Adorned with Pete the Penguin logo on the left breast.
With a slightly 60s style feel, the brightness of this top really cheered me up and the mixture of cool and warm colors means it’s probably going to suit most people. It certainly will make a statement on the fairways. Off the golf course, this is such a fun jumper. I’d wear it with jeans and black boots and it would be great around Easter as has a spring style feel to it. The fit is beautiful, flattering with a fitted waist and slightly loose fit on the body but stretchy enough to swing in and stay in place thanks to the thick hem line.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 6 (Ether, Heather Grey, Black, Kentucky Blue, Navy, Canyon Sunset)
Fabric: Cotton/Polyester/Spandex
+ Provides warmth and comfort
+ Relaxed fit
- Slightly boxy style won’t suit everyone
Amazingly cosy sums up this mid layer, whether you’re wearing it on the golf course or lounging around. The fabric is incredibly soft inside and out, and it provides impressive warmth and comfort.
It has a very relaxed fit, slightly boxy with side slits at the hem. The back is slightly longer than the front, and this not only gives you a bit of extra cover at the back, it adds to the modern styling. The half zip is nicely concealed, it has a branded ribbon pull and I like the way the zip extends for a snug fit around the neck. The sleeves are quite long, but like the hem, the cuffs are deep, so it’s easy to turn them up. For many women, this will be a go-to layer when the weather turns chilly.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 4 (Camelia Rose, White, Navy, Black)
Fabric: 100% Recycled polyester with PES membrane. Padding is Thermore also 100% polyester
+ High quality finish especially solid zips.
+ Feels warm and protects brilliantly in stormy conditions.
- Slightly noisy fabric
This vest is beautifully structured and hugs you without being too clingy. Protecting against blustery conditions and keeping you both warm and dry in some robust showers. The 100% recycled polyester padding helps to insulate and keep warmth in. Galvin Green can well and truly tick the sustainability box with this garment, made almost entirely from recycled material (which is a tiny bit noisy when brushed against). The neck of the vest feels soft against your face and allows room to tuck your chin in when the wind gets up. Top quality zips.
The side panels are really stretchy. The adjustable elastic drawstring at the hem means you can adapt the fit. Available in 4 colors and up to XXL there’s a vest for you in this collection. One of the most important pieces of kit in my golfing wardrobe and that all year round.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: Black, White
Fabric: 100% Polyester
+ Excellent, warm wind protection
+ Shower-proof, water-repellent material
- White color difficult to keep clean
An extra warm layer around your body is essential on a chilly winter’s day and gilets offer the answer to keeping warm while allowing the flexibility and freedom to make a fluid golf swing. The Puma Kyley is made from a lovely soft quilted fabric that has a patented PrimaLoft fill material that’s warm, without making you overheat. The fit is generous, which is ideal for plus-size women, especially as side stretch panels add to the comfort and mobility as you swing.
As a bonus, the material is water repellent, so if you get caught out in a winter shower you won’t get soaked. There are decent-sized side hand pockets so you can keep your fingers dry if it starts to rain and won’t lose your grip.
Jackets
A decent jacket is another essential item of clothing because it's no fun playing golf in the wind and rain and definitely no fun if you're getting cold and wet! Most jackets nowadays are made in super lightweight fabrics so you still have complete freedom of movement, and this also means that they are fairly easy to pack away into your golf bag when not in use.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 2 (Black, Navy)
Fabric: 100% Polyester
+ Beautifully combines modern styling and functionality
+ Lightweight, yet warm
- Not waterproof
This jacket is made in a windproof softshell fabric and the best thing is that it can be worn for everyday activities thanks to its functional design and modern styling. It’s padded for warmth, but feels surprisingly lightweight and the stretch in the side panels and sleeves gives you the freedom of movement you need to swing a club when worn over other layers.
I really like the hood, as this helps to keep you extra cosy in chilly conditions and when playing golf I used the toggles to adjust the fit of the hood to stop it falling off. It has two zipped side pockets and two welt pockets on the inside, so plenty of storage options. The overall quality is excellent and the silver reflective detailing adds a touch of class to this versatile jacket.
Colors: 3 (Floral Tonal Navy, Floral Tonal Grey, Floral Tonal Blue)
Sizes: XS-2XL
Fabric: 89% polyester/11% spandex
+ Provides exceptional warmth
+ High quality fabric
- Nothing to dislike
New for the 2024 autumn/winter season, this is a very substantial jacket, not that it’s bulky, but as soon as you pick it up and feel the padding, you know it will keep you warm. It’s unusual to have a double zip and popper closure, and along with the inner knit collar and cuffs, it gives the impression of two jackets in one.
The outer is a lightweight fabric, and it did offer protection in windy and slightly rainy conditions. I like the understated floral pattern and there’s also an almost camouflaged ‘FJ’ embossed logo on the back under the collar. The length is good, providing plenty of coverage and it has a slightly curved hem for a more flattering look. All-in-all, a great option for a comfortable winter jacket.
Colors: 1
Sizes: Plus Size (1X, 2X, 3X, 4X)
Fabric: 90% Recycled Polyester/10% Elastane Twill
+ Super lightweight
+.Great on course performance
- Only one color available
Adidas’s Ultimate 365 Novelty jacket lives up to its name. The first thing I noticed is how lightweight it is, which makes it an ideal year-round extra layer to have to hand. It can be folded down to a compact size, meaning it will happily fit in any golf bag and you will barely know it’s there.
Performance wise, this jacket is super comfortable and easy to swing in, and I like the positioning of the zip pockets at the front. Like a lot of adidas’s golf wear it looks just as good off the course as it does on. I would have liked to have seen this plus size jacket available in more colors as I enjoy brighter shades to light up the fairways.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 3 (Twilight, Dawn, Stone)
Fabric: 8% Polyester/12% spandex
+ Extremely comfortable
+ Luxurious fabric
- Fitted style might not suit everyone
I love the fresh looking, sky blue option of this lightweight fitted jacket from G/FORE. The quilted design at the front in nylon taffeta is very flattering and it definitely keeps the chill away. Each sleeve has two delicate strips in a lighter shade of blue, which add detail to the luxurious feel of the fabric, which is super soft and also very stretchy so I did not feel restricted when swinging a club.
I like the way the two zipped pockets are hidden at the sides and they are noticeably deep. It has a two-way full length zip, although I have never put this type of zip to use on any jacket! This is a stylish layer that women will enjoy wearing on and off the golf course.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 4 (Navy/Grey/White, Blue/Grey/White, Grey/White/Coral, Black/Grey/White)
+ Exceptionally comfortable
+ Thoroughly protected from wind and rain
+ Stylish and flattering design
- Minimal noisiness from GORE-TEX fabric
Galvin Green make some of the best golf rain jackets on the market and, thanks to its GORE-TEX fabric, which provides 100% waterproof protection, the Ally Waterproof Jacket is no exception, with a Paclite stretch material providing an extremely lightweight feel and very little space in your golf bag.
Available in four color options, it has an ultra-smart look with simple design details, such as piping on the nicely shaped sleeves and the slightly slanted zipped pockets that contribute to its stylish design. Although it is on the pricier side, it is definitely worth the investment in the long run.

Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 2 (Blue Spruce/White, Camel)
Fabric: 88% Polyester/12% Spandex
+ Beautifully designed
+ Soft and comfortable fabric
- Only two color options
In blue spruce/white, this is a striking jacket because of the quilted diamond pattern at the front and back, which is complemented by the stretchy white side panels and sleeves. The full double zip at the front and concealed zipped side pockets have a branded puller that subtly features the Peter Millar crown, and the overall finish is of premium quality. There's even a hidden small zipped pocket on the inside at the right breast.
It’s a nice length, fits fairly snug, but very comfortable when swinging a club. I wore this jacket over a thermal long-sleeve top and its warmth definitely took the edge off a cool day. The fabric is silky soft, I particularly noticed this around the neck when I zipped it to the top for extra cosiness, although when it was undone, the zip did catch my neck slightly. This is a beautiful layer that women will want to wear time and time again.
Sizes: XS - XXL
Colors: 5 (Black, Navy, Fig, Peach, Red)
+ Brilliant and bold range of 5 color choices
+ Splattering design and lightweight
- Some may find the neck a bit snug
Super lightweight and packing away to a tiny size, the HydroLite Jacket comes without the plastic lining feel and breathes beautifully. What's more, it is fully waterproof and, with an excellent three-year waterproof guarantee, its is a great long-term investment for your golf game.
Design-wise, the HydroLite has an a-line waist with cinched with elastic. Giving great shape, we found that it also delivered great maneuverability and we were able to swing freely. It's worth noting that it is longer in the body than some jackets we have tested, but with it being finished with lovely pleated detail on the sides it would suit other activities, such as riding, very comfortably. Overall, if you want a versatile option that features in five different colors to suit your style, then the HydroLite is a great option!

+ Really warm winter jacket
+ Trendy styling and versatile
- Not fully waterproof
In testing, we found the hood on the Ultimate 365 Tour WIND.RDY Jacket is generous in size to allow you to wear it over the top of one a beanie or hat, for example, on a really cold day. It’s also got side toggles so that you can pull it in tight to really trap the warmth and keep your head dry.
The warmth of this jacket was the standout for us, with the fleece lining snuggly soft against the skin and cosy on the coldest days. Another plus is that it comes with a generous fit that allows for great freedom of movement, with the length of the jacket slightly longer than average. Importantly, it didn't feel bulky and heavy, or interfere with the putting stroke, something which was an added bonus in a excellent performing and stylish jacket.

Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 3 (Black, Navy, Charcoal Grey)
Fabric: 95% polyester/5% spandex
+ Warm and comfortable
+ Suitably styled for wear on and off the golf course
- Might prefer a more lightweight jacket
This jacket has padding at the front and on the sleeves, and has stretchy panels on the sides and underside of the sleeves that allow you to swing comfortably. It’s a regular fit, true to size and you certainly get a lot of jacket for your money.
It feels very thick, but there’s minimal bulk when you wear it, and the lining is very soft. You’ll definitely appreciate the warmth it provides and the styling of this jacket means that it’s very versatile - you’ll get a lot of wear out of it on and off the golf course during winter months. It has cuffed sleeves for added warmth, although I would prefer the sleeves to be a little longer. Other details include a two-way zip and there are two zipped pockets on either side.
Sizes: XS - XXL
Colors: 2 (Black, Navy)
+ Boasts adjustable side toggles to change jacket’s shape
+ Easy to wash
+ Wind and cold protection
- No bright color option
Although only available in Navy and Caviar (black), we think this jacket will become a classic go to winter garment. It is beautifully crafted in a quilted nylon design that is so soft to touch it feels like brushed cotton. When on, this coat instantly warms you and will look striking with some bright base layers or other such undergarments.
Providing a weightless feel, it has great stretch capabilities, with side panels running from under each arm to the cuffs. In testing, we felt that it almost felt like a gilet, with the freedom of movement excellent. Overall, this is a superb jacket which can be worn both on and off the golf course, especially as the stylish look and versatility will appeal to a wide range of golfers.

First things first, the DRYLBL Waterproof Rain Jacket is extremely lightweight, with Puma utilising their patented stormCELL technology to ensure that every inch of the body stays dry. In testing, the rainwater literally ran off the jacket in beads, which is something we see in all of the best golf waterproofs.
Annoyingly, it is only available in one colour but, given that it pretty much co-ordinates with any outfit, we think it would be the most popular choice anyway. Also, one last thing which will appeal to golfers, is the fact that the jacket doesn't rustle in the swing, with the pleasingly quiet acoustics allowing you to fully focus on your swing.

Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2 - Bright White, Black Iris (navy)
Fabric: 100% Nylon
+ Soft to the touch, keeps you super warm
+ Goes with everything
- White cuff picks up dirt easily
This is what I would call a typical fabulous Penguin jacket, with sharp styling and soft insulated quilting. This keeps you so warm yet moves beautifully when you swing the club. The stretch side panels create a practical and svelte fit that sits closely to your body, allowing for a waterproof jacket or gilet to be added. This jacket boasts a silky lining adorned with Pete the penguin logo. It oozes style and looks phenomenal with whatever you pair it with on and off the course.
Not normally one for a white jacket (I to have this in white and navy that’s how much I like it) but this one has navy panels and gives great shape. The white picks up dirt on the cuffs, but I’ve worn this so much now and washed it a fair bit which sees it come back beautifully. Without stripping functional insulation qualities away from it.
How we test women's golf clothes
Here at Golf Monthly, our testing for women's golf clothes is built upon a comprehensive process combined with the knowledge and expertise of the entire Golf Monthly test team, headed up by Alison Root, who leads all female golf reviews. As far as the specific procedure goes, prior to testing, the team will usually attend product launches and meet with the manufacturer's R&D experts to understand the new technology in each item of clothing.
When it comes to testing golf clothes, we head out to the course to each item on over a number of rounds on the UK's best courses. We look to try to use each item in as many different conditions as possible to give us the best feel of how it performs in sun, rain and snow. We think it is vitally important to do both and continue to test the clothes so they have been comprehensively put to the test in many different conditions. It should also be mentioned that manufacturers cannot pay for a good review and we make our conclusions from the testing and our experiences.
What to consider when buying women's golf clothes
There is a lot to consider when purchasing new golf clothes but we have some handy tips on several things you need to look out for to make sure you make the best purchase possible for you.
1. Size
The first thing to consider is the size and fit of the clothes that you're buying. Obviously, you don't want your clothes to be too tight as that will restrict your movement on the course preventing you from playing your best golf. Whatever piece of clothing it is, pick a size that looks good, isn't too loose fitting, but also gives you a full range of movement.
2. Colors
As golf styling is becoming more modern, brands are designing clothes that have a wide variety of colors, designs and fabrics that suit every golfer. From bright colorways to traditional patterns, there are plenty of colors available to you, so pick the one you like the most.
3. Mobility
This is a vital consideration for any golfer as if you're constricted in your mobility then you're going to struggle to perform a full swing. Look for clothes that aren't too tight-fitting, but are also made of stretchy fabrics that can expand with your movements. One good thing to keep an eye out for is t-shirts and mid-layers that have panels on the sides that help you stretch up and down with the arc of your swing.
4. Breathability
Particularly if you're playing in warmer climates, having shirts, mid-layers and jackets that are breathable and keep you feeling fresh and aerated on the course are important to helping you stay cool and play your best golf. There's nothing worse than being hot and uncomfortable during your round, so for that reason, look to buy clothes that can keep you cool on the course.
5. Waterproofing
You never know when you'll get rain, snow or sun on the golf course, so it's always best to plan ahead to ensure you're ready to play in any condition possible. For that reason, buy clothing that is durable and resistant to the elements. Especially if you're purchasing a jacket or a mid-layer, look to buy clothing that is water resistant and can provide you with ample protection from the elements.
Some of the best designer golf clothes on the market provide players with a stylish look have practical features that can be used on the golf course. For more advice on what to wear on the course, take a look at our guides on the best women's golf polos, best women's golf pants and the best women's golf shirts.
FAQs
What should you not wear when golfing?
While golf dress codes are being somewhat relaxed, there are still a few big no-no's that you shouldn't wear on the course. Some of those include denim shorts and jackets, jeans, cargo shorts, flip flops, vests or tank tops.
Do I have to tuck my shirt in for golf?
No, you don't always have to tuck your shirt in. Some traditional courses may demand it as part of their rules, but the majority of courses will not mind. If in doubt, check the local club rules before you play.
Are leggings okay to wear when playing golf?
Wearing leggings is generally considered okay to wear at most golf courses. You may not be able to wear them at some traditional golf courses, but generally they are considered to be acceptable golfing attire by most clubs.
