It’s golfing season, and it’s time to tee up some new looks for hitting the green or the street as the temperatures rise. The old school golf look could charitably be described as proper and appropriate. The modern golfer, though, wants to make a statement on the course.

And fashion labels have taken note. Traditional brands like Ralph Lauren, Tory Sport and Lacoste have recently begun offering golf apparel, while upstarts like Byrdie Golf and Ame & Lulu are leaning into feminine motifs that harken back to golf’s early stylish days in new ways.
