Choosing the Perfect Golf Jacket for Autumn

Autumn is a season that's known for its crisp mornings, changing leaves, and cool temperatures. The unpredictable weather conditions can be a challenge for golfers, but, on the plus side, you can look forward to quieter fairways and breathtaking scenery.

Forecasts for this time of year may be chaotic, including brisk mornings, warm afternoons, sudden showers, and chilly winds. This may not sound ideal for playing golf, but the right golf jacket can make all the difference!

Are you searching for the perfect autumn layer? You should look for a jacket that offers warmth, breathability, and protection from the elements. Additionally, you need something that offers flexibility and comfort without ever restricting your movement. After all, you don't want your swing to be affected!

The good news is that you have plenty of options to choose from - and you never have to compromise style for practicality. In fact, ladies' golf clothes collections often offer more colourways and styles than men's, so you're guaranteed to look fashionable this fall!

Features to look out for

With the plethora of ladies' golf jackets on offer, it can be almost impossible to pick out the perfect piece. Knowing which features to consider can help you narrow down your options. Here's what to look out for:

  • Water-resistant or waterproof fabrics: Essential for keeping you dry during light showers or unexpected downpours.

  • Windproof designs: Protects against gusts that can make the course feel much colder than the temperature suggests.

  • Breathable materials: Allow excess heat and moisture to escape, so you don't get that annoying clammy feeling during an active round.

  • Stretch panels or flexible construction: Keeps your swing smooth and unrestricted, so your game isn't affected by a stiff jacket.

  • Lightweight insulation: Provides warmth without the bulk, which is ideal for layering over polo shirts or mid-layers. This is a common feature in most high-quality hybrid jackets.

  • Practical details: Features such as zippered pockets, adjustable cuffs, and high collars add comfort and convenience.

By choosing a jacket with these features, you’ll be ready for whatever your autumn rounds throw your way. Whether it’s an unexpectedly sunny day or a sudden shower, you won't lose focus on your game.

Thankfully, Glenmuir offers plenty of incredible ladies' golf jackets, so you're spoilt for choice when it comes to picking out the perfect extra layer.

Our recommendation: You can't go wrong with s.KILLY Waterproof Golf Jacket, which boasts mechanical stretch, lock-down pockets, and a chin guard.

With its water-repellent finish and chevron-bonded padding, s.SARENNE Thermal Golf Jacket is another great option for autumnal conditions.

Other Autumn Outfit Essentials

As temperatures drop and the cold weather begins to settle in, you may need more than just a waterproof jacket to keep you cosy on the course. Let's take a look at some of the other ladies' golf clothes you'll need in your wardrobe this autumn and winter.

Trousers

Your autumn golf attire is incomplete without a pair of high-quality trousers. Go for fabrics that combine warmth with flexibility, such as performance polyester and cotton blends.

Water-repellent finishes help you stay dry during damp rounds, as well as protect you from chilling temperatures. Opt for neutral colors that pair easily with jackets and sweaters, providing a versatile base for any autumn golf outfit

Our recommendation: Our s.MONTANA TROUSERS are an ideal option for autumn as they offer a waterproof finish, mechanical stretch, a half elasticated waistband, and fleece-lined pockets. These are sure to keep you warm on even the coldest autumn days. Choose between black and navy for a classic look that complements your other golf clothing.

Sweaters

A thoughtfully chosen sweater is a staple for autumn golf, offering warmth without sacrificing mobility. You may already have something suitable in your wardrobe, but it's always nice to treat yourself to a new golf sweater every now and then.

Lightweight knits and performance blends provide just enough insulation for crisp mornings, while staying breathable when the sun makes an appearance. Choose styles with a quarter-zip or V-neck, which layer easily over polos and under jackets.

Our recommendation: With its classic houndstooth design, you'll look elegant and put together in the g.ELLERY Cashmere Golf Sweater. Other great options include the g.ESTHER Lambswool Crew Neck Midweight Golf Sweater and the g.AMIRA Quarter-Zip Merino Wool Sweater, both made from 100% combed cotton and wonderfully soft to the touch.

Slipovers

More lightweight and streamline than full sweaters, while offering a little more warmth than polos, slipovers are the ultimate versatile autumn in-betweener. Ideal for layering, they also provide extra cosiness for colder days without obstructing your swing.

Slipovers are easy to pull on and off as temperatures shift, and can be worn over collared shirts and under jackets. Additionally, they offer a classic look that is perfect for both the clubhouse and the course.

Our recommendation: If you're looking for a stylish slipover, you can't go wrong with the g.LEONA Merino Wool Slipover, made from 100% extrafine Merino wool. This flattering garment comes in a variety of colours, including red, pink, blue, and grey. For a more lightweight option, you could go with the g.ASTRID Cotton Golf Slipover, made from 100% combed cotton.

Golf gilets

Offering core warmth without restricting your arm movement, golf gilets allow you to maintain the full range of motion in your swing. They add a fashionable touch to any outfit - so you can consider them an essential!

Choose lightweight, insulated styles that can be worn over polos or sweaters, and look for water-repellent finishes to protect you against unpredictable autumn weather.

Ladies' Golf Gilets

Our recommendation: Keep your chest warm with s.ALASKA Thermal Golf Gilet, which comes in a range of eye-catching colours, including pink, purple, maroon, and black. The water-repellent finish and zoned padding are sure to ward off the chill, and you never have to compromise on style.

Gloves

No autumn golf wardrobe is complete without a reliable pair of gloves. Cooler conditions can affect both comfort and grip, making gloves essential for consistent performance.

Some styles are designed specifically for wet weather, offering extra traction and helping you stay confident through every swing. You never know when the weather will turn ugly, so be sure to keep a pair of gloves in your golf bag.

Our recommendation: Ward off the morning chill with our s.MITTENS Showerproof Golf Mittens, which offer a brushed fleece lining, attached hanging clips, and a hand warmer pouch. Now your hands can stay toasty as you make your way around the golf course.

Neck warmers

A neck warmer is a simple yet effective addition to your autumn golf wardrobe. It shields against chilly winds and adds warmth without the loose ends of a scarf, making it perfect for early tee times or blustery afternoons. Another plus- it takes up very little space on your accessories shelf!

Your best bet is to go for lightweight and breathable fabrics so you stay warm without feeling claustrophobic.

Our recommendation: Your neck will thank you for investing in our s.THERMAL NECK Lined Neck Warmer Snood, which is made from 100% polyester brushed fleece lining. You can even pull it up over your mouth when vapour from your breath is causing a distraction.

Headwear

Autumn weather is known for being unpredictable, but the right headwear means you're prepared for anything. A bucket hat is handy for keeping the rain off, while lightweight caps provide shade on brighter days.

For chilly morning or evening rounds, a beanie keeps your ears and head warm, allowing you to focus on the game at hand.

Our recommendation: Made from Merino wool, our s.THERMAL BOBBLE Hat wicks away moisture and keeps you warm and dry. It's machine washable and is great for repelling rain and wind. On sunnier days, you may want to go for the s.WATERPROOF BUCKET HAT, which can also keep the rain off your face in the case of sudden showers.

FAQs

What is the best way to look stylish on the golf course?

If you want to look fashionable on the course, choose well-fitted golf attire in classic colours or subtle patterns for a cohesive effect. Spend some time planning your outfits and ensure that individual pieces work together before you leave the house.

What should women wear to a golf day?

If you're attending a women's golf day, you could wear:

  • Collared polos or performance tops

  • Tailored shorts, skorts, or trousers (depending on the season)

  • Lightweight jackets or pullovers

Complete the look with comfortable golf shoes and understated accessories for a refined, practical outfit.

Can ladies wear leggings on a golf course?

Some golf clubs allow leggings, especially if they're worn with a longer polo, tunic, or skirt, but stricter clubs' dress codes may not. If permitted, choose performance leggings designed for sport rather than casual wear. Always check the course rules in advance to avoid dress code issues.

What makes a good ladies' golf jacket?

The best ladies' golf jackets keep you comfy without sacrificing style. They should be lightweight, water-resistant, and windproof, while offering enough stretch to keep your movements unrestricted.

What should I wear when golfing in cold weather?
