The Best Golf Clothing Brands for Men To Wear At the Country Club and Beyond

John Thompson

For years, golf has struggled to appeal to a younger audience. The stereotype of the old white man golfing at a posh country club surrounded with high-grade security swiftly snubs out any thoughts of taking up such a sport.

The good news is that stereotype is starting to weaken — and you can make an argument fashion is at the forefront of the sport’s coming renaissance. Golf is filled with tradition and rich history. It’s got a distinct culture, too. Many fashion-forward entrepreneurs and companies have started to tap into that history, fusing the best performance materials with amazing styles and designs in the pieces one wears while golfing. From casual, comfortable garments to wild and loud pieces, these brands are heightening the experience of playing 18 holes — no matter if it’s your first time at the course, or your five-hundredth.

If you’ve watched any sports programming in the past year or so, you most likely have seen the commercial of Phil Mickelson mashing the ball with his driver while wearing Mizzen+Main.

In a world where the dress code continues to change by the month based on whether you are working from home and only need a shirt for the Zoom call, whether you need to adopt the business casual dress code, or whether you're wearing a suit every day, you have to be picky on the garments you buy. One of the ways you can ensure you only get the best of the best that fits you like it was made specifically for you is to get clothing made for you. Custom men's clothing is a growing business, and as the technology for online custom shopping develops, we will dive deeper into the industry.

Why buy custom clothing
There are three main reasons for men to invest in custom clothing instead of shopping off the rack. The first reason is the most obvious. The fit will be the best you have ever experienced. No matter how hard we try, almost none of us are built like mannequins. So while these garments look great on the plastic displays in the store, they won't often look great on you. The second reason is that often custom clothing is much more of an investment and will last longer. Custom clothing most often uses the best fabrics and materials that will last much longer in the long run.

Skate style has been at the forefront of fashion for years now, and for a good reason: There’s something about the carefree cool of the skate world, and insiders are more central than ever to the cultural zeitgeist. Look no further than pros like British Ben Nordberg, who has been the face of Gucci and Fendi. Or pink-haired Evan Mock, who has done campaigns for Calvin Klein and Saint Laurent. No longer labeled as outcasts, skaters and their unique looks have moved up the ladder in the style world into streetwear brands.

Skaters are known to rock stylish silhouettes like tucked-in tees and baggy trousers long before they make their way onto prominent fashion designers’ runways and lookbooks. And in recent years, the two worlds have collided in significant ways. In 2018, Polo Ralph Lauren released a collection with British skate brand Palace, and a year later, Louis Vuitton teamed up with the legendary Supreme to release a capsule of high-end tees, skate decks, and leather goods.
