Have you already got your tickets to see the best golfers in the world make history on the European Tour at the Scottish Open? Then you're one of the lucky few!
Still, knowing what to wear when you're there can be tricky since the weather is always a little unpredictable. Luckily, that's where this guide comes in.
At Glenmuir, we're serious about helping you look your best, whether you're on the course or simply spectating at this year's Scottish Open. So, if you're ready to get packing and are looking for some inspiration, let's get into it.
What Should You Consider Before Picking An Outfit For the Scottish Open?Before you pick an outfit for the Scottish Open, you should first stop to consider the weather. Since this year's Scottish Open is taking place at the Renaissance Club (located in North Berwick) from the 11 - 14 July, you're going to want to plan around the local climate and expected weather patterns. Usually, July in North Berwick means mild weather during the day, but it can be a little unpredictable. Daytime temperatures are around 18°C (64°F) but can drop to around 12°C (54°F) in the evenings. However, if you're planning on watching your favourite golfers in the early morning or into the evenings, you'll want to remember that it can get pretty nippy. For this reason, having an outfit made up of layers is a good idea. For example, a sleeveless sweater like the g.SALTIRE SLEEVELESS SWEATER is great for keeping you warm in the early mornings on the greens. As the day heats up, you can take it off and have a short-sleeve shirt underneath it to keep you comfortable. Although this time frame falls over the summer months in Scotland, you can always expect a little rain on the course. So, if you want to stay dry, a waterproof jacket is essential. Either way, having lighter layers is really important for keeping you warm (but not too warm) and dry. Oh, and remember: Since this is a multi-day event, you're going to want to plan several outfits according to the weather forecast. |
What Should Men Wear To The Scottish Open?
Men should always wear something tailored and well-fitted to the Scottish Open.
Staying sleek and stylish at this tournament is all about knowing how to mix and match the different components of your ensemble. If you need inspiration, you're in luck. Gents, let's take a closer look at what you're going to want to wear at the Scottish Open.
Shirts
Since your shirt is your base layer, you're going to want to choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or any other moisture-wicking material. This will help to keep you cool when you're moving about the course and watching the daytime rounds of the competition. At the same time, it should still be warm enough to insulate your chest when you need to layer up to beat the evening chill.
A great example of a sleek yet casual golf shirt is the g.SALTIRE PERFORMANCE SHIRT. Plus, it comes in several neutral colours while still having some fun details to keep your outfit exciting yet stylish.
Trousers
When it comes to trousers, you can't go wrong with lightweight, tailored pants. Generally, you'll want to stick to long pants so that you look well-put-together, but you can always add some extra flair to your outfit by wearing something with a subtle pattern. For instance, the g.CUTHBERTS Trousers in Tartan are not only well-fitted, but they're also a good way to show off your Scottish pride at the tournament!
If you'd prefer something more understated, you can always pick neutral colours such as grey, navy, or beige to pair with your top.

Outerwear
Since there's always a chance of rain when the golfers are only halfway through a round, you're going to want to be prepared and keep yourself dry for the rest of the holes. That's why having an outfit with a combination of warm-weather materials (like a breathable golf shirt) and cool-weather materials is a good idea. For instance, you may want to pack something like this cotton g.SALTIRE SWEATER, the g.ELRICK Water Repellent Golf Jacket in Tartan, or the g.WICK Quarter Zip Performance Midlayer with an all over micro Saltire flag print.
What Should Women Wear To The Scottish Open?
Women should wear fitted yet modest outfits to the Scottish Open. While the weather may be mild during July, it's not exactly the right weather for dresses - especially since there's a high chance of rain. So, what should you wear? Let's take a closer look...
Shirts
Ladies, when it comes to shirts, you're going to want to keep it simple. Although you can wear a blouse, you'll want to ensure that it's modest and not too low-cut. But if you want to play it safe, a standard golf shirt such as the g.STELLA Performance Golf Shirt is a great pick.
This shirt layers well under lightweight outerwear and looks great on its own - particularly in the white/navy variation. These neutral colours are flattering and timeless, creating a super-stylish ensemble.
Trousers
Since there may be rain while you're on the course, it may be best to ditch the skorts and dresses! After all, the last thing you want is to have mud and grass sticking to your legs as you're walking around the greens.
Instead, opt for a pair of lightweight trousers like the g.KALEY Trousers to keep your legs well-protected and dry while not being too stuffy. They're also perfectly tailored for a classic silhouette and come in several neutral colours (navy, black, white and light grey check), making them easy to pair with almost any top.
Outerwear
To complete your outfit, you're going to want to bring a lightweight sweater or jacket along. Ideally, you'll want to pack a jacket with a hood to protect you when the rain starts to come down. However, it should still be breathable enough to keep you comfortable without getting too hot.
We'd highly recommend something like the g.ELLA Hooded Jacket since it is designed for warmth and comfort in any weather conditions. For a more lightweight cover-up, try the g.CARINA Quarter Zip Midlayer in Tartan for a nod to your Scottish surroundings. Alternatively, a sleeveless or lightweight sweater can keep your arms and chest dry, but you may need something to keep your head covered.

Speaking of head coverings, let's talk about accessories...
What Are The Best Accessories For The Scottish Open?
The best accessories for the Scottish Open are those that can help protect you from the elements. Still, you'll also want to make sure that they compliment your outfit so that you look stylish and put-together while attending the tournament.
Footwear
Footwear can be a little tricky when it comes to the Scottish Open since you're going to want a good balance between comfort, breathability, and water resistance. Although the weather can be warm and mild, there's still a chance that the greens will be waterlogged if there's any rain. And standing around on the side of the course can be a killer on your feet if you're not careful!
The best thing you can do for your feet is to wear a reliable and sleek pair of golf shoes or trainers. Just remember that golf shoes with spikes usually aren't permitted, so you'll want to leave those at home, and be sure to pick a suitable pair of socks as you'll be getting in a fair few (thousand!) steps.
Ladies, this also means that it is best to ditch the heels and wedges - your feet will thank you!
Headwear
Since you can expect a little rain when you're watching the tournament, it may be a good idea to take some appropriate headwear to keep you warm and dry. We highly recommend the g.SALTIRE BEANIE to keep your head cosy in the chilly mornings and evenings.
However, you may also want to take a cap to swap your beanie out for during the day. The g.COWAN unisex golf cap is great to have on hand and comes in several neutral colours. That way, you can shield your eyes and protect your head from the sun in the heat of the day, but you'll also have your beanie handy for unexpected showers.
FAQsIs there an official dress code for the Scottish Open?There is no official dress code for the Scottish Open. However, most spectators still follow unspoken rules of etiquette.
