Golf Clothes for Men: Style and Performance on the Green
Whether you are waking up early for a Saturday morning tee time, hitting the driving range after work, or just want a comfortable outfit for a family barbecue, the right golf clothes make a huge difference. You don't need to spend a fortune at a pro shop to look like a pro. At Kohl’s, finding high-quality men’s golf apparel is easy, affordable, and fun.
Golf has changed a lot over the years. It used to be about stiff collars and heavy fabrics. Today, it is all about comfort, breathability, and athletic performance. Modern golf clothes are designed to move with you, keeping you cool when the sun is beating down and warm when the morning breeze picks up.
The Foundation of a Great Golf Wardrobe
Before you start filling your cart, it helps to know what makes golf clothing different from regular casual wear. You might ask, "Can I just wear khakis and a cotton shirt?" Many courses require a collared shirt, and standard cotton can get heavy with sweat.
The secret to feeling good through all 18 holes lies in performance fabrics.
Why Moisture-Wicking Matters
If you have ever played a round in a standard cotton shirt on a hot day, you know the struggle. Cotton absorbs sweat and holds onto it. This leaves you feeling wet, heavy, and uncomfortable by the back nine.
Performance golf apparel uses moisture-wicking technology. This usually involves synthetic blends like polyester and spandex. These fabrics pull sweat away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly. The result? You stay dry and cool, even when the pressure is on.
The Importance of Stretch
The golf swing is a full-body motion. You turn your shoulders, rotate your hips, and extend your arms. If your clothes are too tight or stiff, they will restrict your movement. This can actually hurt your game.
Look for tops and bottoms that feature "4-way stretch." This means the fabric stretches both crosswise and lengthwise. Whether you are bending down to read a putt or taking a big swing with your driver, your clothes should move with you, not against you.
Sun Protection
A round of golf usually takes about four hours. That is a long time to be out in the sun. Many modern golf shirts and pants come with built-in UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings. This adds an extra layer of protection against harmful rays, keeping your skin safer while you play.
Tops: Polos, Layers, and Outerwear
The golf shirt—usually a polo—is the centerpiece of your outfit. But a complete wardrobe also needs layers for those chilly mornings or autumn rounds.
Finding the Perfect Golf Polo
The polo shirt is the standard for golf attire. It looks professional but feels athletic. When browsing the racks or shopping online, you will see a few different styles:
- Classic Fit: These shirts offer a little more room in the chest and waist. They are great if you prefer a relaxed feel and don't want fabric clinging to you.
- Athletic or Slim Fit: These are cut closer to the body. They offer a modern, tailored look. Because they usually have plenty of stretch, they won't feel tight, just fitted.
- Blade Collars: While most polos have a traditional fold-over collar, newer styles feature a "blade" collar. This is a shorter, modern collar that lies flat against the neck. It is very trendy and looks great on younger players or anyone wanting a fresh style.
Pro Tip: Look for shirts with a "stay-put" collar. These have slightly stiffer fabric in the collar so it doesn't curl up after a few washes. It keeps you looking sharp all day.
Layering for Comfort
Weather can be unpredictable. You might start your round at 7 a.m. when it is 50 degrees, and finish at 11 a.m. when it is 80 degrees. Layering is key.
- Quarter-Zips: The quarter-zip pullover is a golfer's best friend. It is easy to take on and off over your polo. Look for lightweight, thin materials that provide warmth without bulk. You don't want a heavy sweatshirt that messes up your swing.
- Golf Vests: A vest keeps your core warm while leaving your arms completely free. This is a favorite choice for serious golfers who don't want any resistance on their arms during a swing.
- Lightweight Jackets: For rainy or windy days, a windbreaker or rain jacket is essential. Look for water-resistant options that are quiet—you don't want a jacket that makes a loud "swish" noise every time you move.
Bottoms: Pants, Shorts, and the New Jogger Trend
Your choice of bottoms - golf pants, shorts, or otherwise - depends heavily on the weather and the dress code of the course you are playing. However, comfort should always be your top priority.
Choosing the Right Shorts
When the temperature rises, shorts are the way to go. The standard inseam for golf shorts is usually between 9 and 10 inches. This length usually hits right above the knee, offering a clean, professional look that meets the dress code of almost any club.
Look for shorts with deep pockets. You need plenty of room for extra tees, a ball marker, a divot repair tool, and your scorecard. Shallow pockets can be frustrating when your gear falls out in the golf cart.
The Rise of Golf Joggers
For a more modern, sporty look, golf joggers are becoming very popular. These have a cuffed ankle and a tapered leg. They look athletic and are incredibly comfortable. While very traditional private clubs might not allow them yet, most public courses and driving ranges welcome this stylish, modern option. They are perfect for the golfer who wants to go straight from the course to the gym or the grocery store.
Essential Golf Accessories and Footwear
No outfit is complete without the details. Accessories serve a purpose beyond just style.
- Belts: A braided or webbed belt is a great choice for golf. These belts stretch slightly, offering more comfort than a rigid leather dress belt. Plus, they come in fun colors to add a pop of personality to your outfit.
- Hats: A hat is mandatory for keeping the sun out of your eyes and off your face. A traditional baseball-style cap is the most common. Look for one made of performance mesh so your head stays cool. For maximum sun protection, a wide-brimmed bucket hat is a smart choice that is making a fashion comeback.
- Socks: Don't overlook your socks! Cotton socks can cause blisters if your feet sweat. Choose athletic socks with arch support and moisture-wicking properties. Low-cut or ankle socks are typical with shorts, while crew socks work well with pants.
Ready to Tee Off?
You don't need to be a scratch golfer to appreciate good apparel. Whether you are playing 18 holes, hitting a bucket of balls, or just enjoying a walk outside, the right clothes help you feel confident and comfortable.
Take a look at your current wardrobe. Is it ready for the season? If you need an upgrade, explore the wide selection of men's golf clothes at Kohl's. From breathable polos and stretchy shorts to warm layers and stylish accessories, you will find everything you need to look great and play your best.
Remember, the goal is to have fun. When you feel good in what you are wearing, it is easier to relax and enjoy the game. So grab your clubs, put on your new gear, and head to the first tee with confidence.
