While tennis, with its signature crisp whites and pleated skirts and dresses, has been enjoying a bit of a fashion moment, the best golf clothes for women have been in need of a refresh for a while now. It’s time to toss those cheesy pastels and preppy V-necks. Thankfully, the latest crop of options has arrived, and these active styles are now pieces you might want to wear off the course, too.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Golf Clothes:

If you wish to take a more classic activewear approach, tried-and-true heritage labels such as Adidas, Nike, and Ralph Lauren are ready to take your wardrobe up a notch with their golf-ready takes on the best workout clothes for women.
Here, shop some of the best golf clothes for women on the market, from polished polos and easy-to-wear skirts to flouncy dresses and more— all of which you’ll want to sport even when you aren’t teeing up.
Best Golf Dresses
A sporty dress is the workhorse of any golf wardrobe. It’s typically designed with a collar, above-the-knee hemline, and in a performance fabric (stretch cotton piqué, for example). From there, look for differentiating details like pleating, zippers, and piping that lend a preppy touch. You’ll find a classic golf dress from sporty favorites like Varley, or you can skew retro with a piece like Tory Burch’s contrast stitch polo dress.
