The Best Ladies' Golf Clothing For Spring
Early-season golf can be a challenge. The mornings are still a bit chilly, and the course may be in less-than-perfect shape. But with the right ladies' golf clothing, you can stay comfortable and confident throughout your early-season rounds.
At this time of year, layering is key. Think warmth and flexibility. Breathable layers, practical designs and weather-resistant fabrics will keep you prepared for anything, from a light morning breeze to sweltering afternoon sunshine.
In this guide, we'll help you put together the ideal golf outfit, combining fresh spring styles and practical, evergreen pieces. From dependable polo shirts to cosy mid-layers, you'll be teeing off in style this spring.
Golf shirts
No matter the season, polo shirts are always a staple. They're comfortable, allow a good swing, and have a smart, yet classic look.
While the delightful polo shirt is a classic, many clubs also allow women to wear sleeved shirts without collars as long as they meet the dress code.
In terms of material, pique is ideal for its balance of breathability and softness, while a cotton blend provides great freedom of movement, durability and ventilation.
Explore Glenmuir's wide range of polo shirts in various colours and styles for the new season.
Our recommendations:
-
The g.MISHA Long Sleeve Performance Pique Polo Shirt is a classic for fresh spring mornings and comes in a range of different colours.
-
If you're looking for something a little different, you can't go wrong with the effortlessly chic g.AMELIA Ladies' Quarter Zip Printed Patterned Performance Golf Polo Shirt.
Golf pants
For golf trousers, you've got a good selection to choose from. Traditional golf trousers are always a smart choice; slacks and pedal pushers are also popular.
As the weather warms up, Bermuda-length shorts or proper golf shorts are also suitable. However, it's best to avoid casual wear like jeans, leggings, yoga pants, cargo pants and short shorts on the course - these often go against club dress code rules.
Our recommendations:
-
The g.KAYLEY Lightweight Stretchy Performance Golf Trousers, with their subtle, contemporary tapered leg and lightweight construction, offer the perfect combination of style and practicality this spring.
-
Made from a four-way stretch, moisture-wicking material, the g.PHOEBE Lightweight Stretch Performance Golf Pedal Pushers are ideal for those warmer days.
Dresses, skorts, and skirts
Dresses, skorts, and skirts have become a go-to option in women's golf attire, adding a feminine edge to any outfit.
However, early spring can often be a bit of a hit or miss in terms of the weather, so you may want to wait for those warmer days to kick in before sporting your new golf dress.
Our recommendation:
When it comes to combining elegance and functionality, no garment does it better than the g.EMELI Lightweight Stretch Performance Skort. Available in eight colourways and fun prints, and with two hidden zipped side pockets, it's the perfect addition to your wardrobe this busy golfing season.
Mid-layers
On the cusp of winter and summer, spring is often quite unpredictable, with bitter mornings that can quickly turn into hot afternoons. This is when layering becomes essential.
A quality midlayer, such as a sweater or light jacket, provides warmth and comfort without hindering your golf swing.
Look for features like thermal linings for added warmth, shaped panels for an unrestricted fit, and performance polyester fabrics for breathability and moisture-wicking as the day warms up.
Our recommendations:
-
The g.CARINA Quarter Zip Shaped Panel Performance Mid-Layer stands out with its tricot backing, preventing clinging and ensuring an optimal swing.
-
The g.INDY Full Zip Coverstitch Panelled Performance Mid-Layer features a PFC-free water-repellent finish that is perfect to guard against spring showers.
-
With a Teflon DWR treatment, the g.AROSA Quarter Zip Shoulder Panelled Performance Fleece keeps water at bay, while the breathable brushed fleece inner offers warmth without being overly bulky.
Outerwear
For the first few weeks of spring, you'll probably still need to wear a cosy outer layer when teeing off.
A lightweight, packable jacket is ideal for layering and can be easily stowed away in your golf bag when the sun comes out. Look for materials with waterproofing, windproofing and breathability properties to ensure uninterrupted play. And don't forget practical details like zipped pockets for secure storage.
Our recommendations:
-
The g.SAMARA Full Zip Bonded Padded Hybrid Down Jacket's clever design combines warm padded panels with stretchy fleece, so you can stay warm without getting too hot.
-
The g.SARENNE Hybrid Hooded Quilted Thermal Jacket is best for those wetter spring days, with a PFC-free, eco-friendly water-repellent finish.
Gilets
Gilets deserve a category of their own as they are exceptionally versatile and perfect for shielding you from the chill while ensuring your swing remains full and free. This is one of the spring styles you need to kick off the season in vogue.
When shopping for gilets, look for ones with a fleece lining, insulation on the front and back, and stretch panels.
Our recommendations:
-
The g.AYLA Full Zip Bonded Padded Down Gilet isn't just a fashion statement; it's also super practical with chin guard and excellent thermal support.
Sun protection
Just because the weather is still relatively cold, you shouldn't forget about sun protection. Caps, visors, or wide-brimmed hats are essential for keeping the glare out your eyes and the harmful UV rays off your face.
Other forms of sun protection include sunglasses, sunscreen, and UV-protective clothing including Glenmuir's performance golf shirts and merino wool knitwear.
Other accessories
You've got your outfit down, now it's time to accessorise. Socks, gloves and beanies are the perfect finishing touches to guarantee a great round.
Our recommendations:
Golf shoes
Women's golf shoes are very similar to men's golf shoes, except they usually come in a wider range of colours and styles. With the course being relatively fragile in early spring, you want to make sure you have enough traction to prevent losing your balance.
Opt for golf shoes with features like soft spikes or a spikeless design with multi-directional traction to provide stability and prevent slipping as you swing.
Tips For Putting Together A Cohesive OutfitNow that you have a better idea of what type of attire is appropriate for early season rounds, it's time to put together a cohesive outfit. Here are a few things for you to think about: Colour paletteThe colour palette you choose can make or break the overall look and appeal of your outfit. While neutrals are always in, wearing a few pastels will make you feel like spring has sprung. Pops of colours are also a great to express your personal style, but stay away from clashing colours and mismatched prints. Other female golfers as a source of inspirationIf you're battling to put together a cohesive outfit, you may want to look to other female golfers for inspiration. Pros like Charley Hull and Annabel Dimmock are known for their stylish outfits, so check out their latest looks on social media. Incorporate your personal styleWhen putting together your outfit, remember to infuse a bit of your own personal style into your look. You don't need to dress the exact same as other female golfers, so pick colours and cuts that feel true to you. Check out new clothing collectionsBy checking out new clothing collections, you can get a better idea of the fresh spring styles available. Golf outfits that have already been styled together are another great way for you to assess what goes, and what doesn't, without the hassle. When in doubt, keep it simpleIf you're ever in doubt, you really can't go wrong with a lovely polo shirt paired with golf trousers and a cosy mid-layer. Stick to neutral colours like beige, grey, black, brown, and light green, as well as classic prints like tartan and houndstooth. Function over fashionAt the end of the day, your main priority should be comfort, warmth, and functionality. When you don't know what to wear, simply wear what you have and call it a day. Looking fashionable should just be an added extra, not the main goal.
