There’s no doubt that the golf shirt has had its ups and downs over the course of its storied history. Once seen as little more than a piece of stretch fabric with a collar, Golf shirts have evolved into fashion statements as much as they have evolved into a player’s main layer.
With the popularity of the sport on the rise, there’s no better time to invest in a new look for your game. From classic to contemporary and everything in between, we’ve rounded up some of the best golf shirts you can purchase today. Without further ado, let’s take a look at our top 5 picks.
Time for a New Look?
If you’re tired of your old-fashioned, button-down, collared golf shirts, it’s time to upgrade. While the majority of golfers still prefer the classic style, there has been an upswing in interest in newer fashion trends. This, combined with the prevalence of social media and online shopping, means that golfers are increasingly likely to be seen in stylish, contemporary shirts.
If you’re willing to make a few adjustments, there are a number of great options available. The first step is to identify your look. Do you prefer a classic, comfort-focused, or contemporary fit? Once you’ve determined your fit, you’re ready to shop.
Old-Fashioned Classic
For the purists among us, nothing beats an old-fashioned, button-down, collared, chambray or oxford golf shirt. Often worn by golfers with a more conservative style, the old-fashioned golf shirt is made from a cotton poplin and cut in a traditional manner.
While these shirts may lack some of the contemporary touches that newer shirts feature, there’s no denying their classic appeal. For example, the classic golf shirt’s wide button stance and boxy silhouette have become synonymous with the sport.
Comfort-Focused Classic
Similar to the old-fashioned in style, the comfort-focused classic features a button-down collar, classic fit, and is made from a cotton poplin. However, it is cut a little more slouchy and has a more relaxed, comfortable fit.
Like the old-fashioned classic, the comfort-focused features a classic silhouette, but with added comfort and flexibility. No matter your build, you’ll appreciate the extra room these shirts provide.
Contemporary Fit
The contemporary fit is cut a little slimmer than the classic fit, but also features a little more room in the chest and shoulder area.
The contemporary fit also comes in wide, long, and extra long sizes for even more customization. If you’re looking for a more modern look, but also prefer a little extra room, the contemporary fit is the way to go.
Signature Look
If you’re willing to splurge, we recommend going with the signature look. The signature look is the most luxurious of the bunch and comes with a more expensive price tag.
This option is only available in the comfort-focused fit and features a more relaxed fit, extra fabric in the shoulders and chest, extra-large tailoring, and more fabric around the cuffs and waist. If you’re willing to spend the extra money, this is the way to go.
A Sleeker, More Modern Look
If you’re looking for a more modern look that still keeps true to the golf shirt’s classic roots, we suggest going with the sleeker look. This version of the golf shirt keeps its collar and cuffs but has a more streamlined fit and a mostly solid color palette.
If you’ve always preferred a more modern fit on your golf shirts but still want to keep to the classic style, this is the option for you. It gives you the classic fit, but in a sleeker, more modern package.
The Final Word
Like any piece of clothing, it’s important to shop around and try as many different styles as possible before you make a decision. No two situations will be the same, meaning you won’t know until you try which golf shirts fit best.
As you can see from the options above, there is a great deal of variety when it comes to the types of golf shirts available today. This variety ensures that golfers will be able to find a style that fits both their style and their budget.
