Layering structure
| Layer | Examples | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Base layer | Polo, tee, golf top | Fit, breathability, movement |
| Mid layer | Sweater, hoodie, vest | Warmth without restricting swing |
| Outer layer | Windbreaker, jacket, rain layer | Wind resistance, sleeve fit, packability |
| Bottoms | Pants, shorts, skirts, skorts | Waist, stretch, length and movement |
Fit tips
Outerwear should leave room over a polo or mid layer. Tops should allow shoulder rotation through the swing. Bottoms should be comfortable through stance, walking and sitting.
FAQ
Should golf outerwear fit loose?
It should allow layering and swing movement, but it should not be so loose that it catches or distracts during play.
Can golf apparel work off course?
Many golf apparel pieces can work casually, especially polos, windbreakers, hoodies, pants and tote-style accessories.
