Figure-Flattering Golf Fashion For Every Size: The Ultimate in Form and Function

What good is the perfect golf swing without the perfect outfit to go with it? We’re not suggesting you dress like you just stepped out of Caddyshack, but instead check out the hottest styles in golf attire designed to take your look—and your game, of course—to the next level. Now plus-size women can also show off the latest fun prints and on-trend styles, thanks to exciting new options designed to fit and flatter women of every shape and size. After all, the first step to looking great is feeling great, and the best golf styles for women, petite to plus-size, support both form and function—a truly winning combination.

If you’ve ever worn an outfit that rode up, slid down, or was made of itchy, irritating material, then you know how distracting it can be to try to play a round to optimal performance while struggling with your wardrobe. When shopping for active wear, seek out fuss-free pieces that make walking the holes a literal breeze thanks to lightweight, breathable materials that wick away moisture and move with you for full range of motion and ideal delivery—both in your stroke and fashion.

Find a clothing line that supports both comfort and confidence, giving women the opportunity to show off their assets with attractive and affordable items that look as good as they feel. Breathable fabrics, anti-microbial technology and moisture management are just a few of the mindful design features that make pieces as wearable as they are stylish. Avoid stuffy concept leftover from a different time, and choose a company that specifically focuses on women’s golf apparel to flatter your form.

Sleeveless tops are the ultimate go-to for women on the golf course.  They are known as some of the most comfort-enhancing pieces to complete an outfit.  A good way to make your arms appear thinner and add a fashionable touch to a top is to find a ruffle-sleeve accent, this is the ultimate thinning trick known to women. For your skort, look for a bottom that includes a vertical stripe anywhere on the fabric- this little secret will make your body appear to have more length, ultimately thinning your frame. For those chilly fall mornings, the ultimate curve-enhancing layer you can add is a zip-up mock or cardigan to your ensemble.  Layer effectively and you’ll instantaneously dress ten pounds thinner.

Lastly, what woman doesn’t love the little black dress? 9 & Dine’ Naomi Reversible Dress, featuring endless details like grosgrain ribbon, pockets and undershorts is a great choice for going out in style. If you’re looking to make an even bigger statement, check it out in eye-catching red or stunning ice blue.

Thanks to contemporary women’s golf clothing lines, the terms “golf” and “fashion” are no longer mutually exclusive for plus-size women. Women of every size can enjoy taking these great pieces through 18 holes and onto cocktail hour, yoga class, lunch at the club or whatever comes next.
