A Great Golf Accessory Can Make Your On-the-Green Look!

Golfing is a sport that used to be dominated by men.  Just take the name – Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden!  But, in recent years, women have taken to the game and developed a love of golf.  With the introduction of women, golf has also taken on a sense of style, and the typical golf accessory has gone from boring and bland to full of female personality.

Women golfers, much more than men, realize the importance of the right golf accessory.  Golf accessories can give your game special panache, and the right golf accessory can even be taken off of the green and into everyday life as a symbol of fashion and of the game you love.

Which golf accessories can give your look some extra zing?  Try shopping at some of the hottest golf shops to find the trendiest looks for lady golfers.  Most large golf courses have a pro shop, and they are great resources for fashion finds that you will discovery nowhere else.  As the LPGA becomes increasingly popular, women are demanding more fashionable golf accessories, and you can look great while you practice your swing.

One golf accessory that is sure to please any golf enthusiast both on and off the course is the right pair of golf shorts.  Years ago it was a common joke to talk about the plaid shorts that golfers wore, or the unfashionable long lengths.  The joke has evaporated this season, however, as runways have featured “golf inspired” shorts as a great fashion statement.  This type of golf accessory works best for slim women, as long, pencil style shorts are all the rage.  You can find these shorts at any price point, from high end fashion designers, to discount versions that are replicating the must have look for summer.

In this style short, you can go from the green to the clubhouse to brunch with the girls.  Perfect colors to try include patterns, such as madras plaid or bold floral designs.  Other options include bright shades that aren’t quite pastel but do have a subtlety.  Try banana yellow or a coral color for a feminine, updated look.  Pair these shorts with other golf accessory looks to have a pulled together appearance.

Another great golf accessory to try that is more confined to the fairway is a great golf glove.  In days gone golf gloves used to only come in black or white, and while utilitarian, were not much for style.  Now, however, golf gloves come in a range of designs and colors.  One favorite is a pink golf glove, which adds femininity to your look along with a note of spring – the perfect golf accessory as you hit the greens this season!

As for golf bags, those golf accessories are also becoming feminized and made more stylish.  Just like a great piece of luggage, your golf bag can showcase your personality and sense of style.  Golf bags range in price and design, but hipper bags are featuring bolder colors of the rainbow and retro designs including stripes or polka dots.  Just be sure that you choose a bag that is rugged enough for your golf game use and reflects your personal style.

Another golf accessory that has managed to go “mainstream” is the golf inspired shoe.  While traditional golfers shoes require spikes and can’t be worn around town, the shape of the golf shoe has become popular in a wide variety of colors as a simple, casual around town choice.  Look for golf-inspired shoes at any local department store, right in step with this season’s trend of flats.

In addition, many golfers love wearing the golf accessory of a visor, both on and off the course.  Visors are a great summer staple, as they provide practical shade, allow for a woman’s hair to shine through without being misshapen the way it would be under a hat, and allows for a comfortable carefree summer look.  Visors are also a wonderful golf accessory compliment to the long, pencil shorts that are so essential this season.  For a special addition to your accessory closet, look for visors made by any of a number of top designers.  From Lacoste to Ralph Lauren, many traditional designers are embracing the all-American look of a visor for summer, both as a golf accessory and as an everyday essential.  Plus, these items are not going to blow your budget, even when purchased from a top name designer.

Finally, remember to top off any golf inspired look with the traditional, preppy golf accessory of the cable knit sweater.  Summer weight sweaters are great with golf shorts in the evening and make for a completed outfit that will take you from day on the course to evening sipping drinks at the clubhouse.  Cable knits never go out of style, and are a great piece for any wardrobe.
