Trends and Innovations in Women’s Golf Clothing

While women have long been a part of the game of golf, their wardrobes have traditionally been rather drab and boring. Since the 70’s and even throughout most of the 80’s, outfits made for women golfers consisted of excessively baggy pants and long-sleeved shirts that seemed to serve no other purpose than to make sure all parts of the woman’s body remained covered up at all times. This is in great contrast to male golfers, who seemed to have access to all of the latest fashion trends and wardrobe innovations at their leisure.

Times have changed drastically since the 70’s and 80’s, however, and women golfers now have the luxury of being able to enjoy a variety of clothing options;

some of which is every bit as functional as it is good-looking, appealing and sexy. Indeed it seems that women’s golf clothing has changed for the better, and it appears obvious to all that the industry is going to stay this way.

But these changes didn’t happen overnight by any means. In fact, some of the largest names in the world of sports, including Nike and Adidas, have all played important roles in setting new trends and developing new golf outfits made specifically for women. These companies are working directly with sports professionals and top designers in order to produce golf clothing for the modern woman of golf.

But the sports industry’s top names can’t take all the credit for advancing fashion in the world of women’s golf. In fact, some of the sport’s top female players, such as Grace Park, Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie can all take credit for the current state of women’s fashion in the game of golf. This accomplishment makes these players not only leaders in the game itself, but innovators and even pioneers of the game.

Another influence in today is the growing amount of televised golf, particularly women’s golf. As more and more tournaments are being shown on television, more fans are now exposed to the world of women’s golf than ever before; and many find it quite exciting, competitive and entertaining.

The final influence on golf clothing for the modern woman golfer is the Internet. Because it is so easy for fans of Annika Sorenstam or Grace Park to find the exact clothing online that they wear during their games, clothing designers and companies have capitalized by offering endorsement deals to the top players in women’s golf today. Such endorsement deals usually come in the form of large monetary awards and free clothing for the player – the only thing that is required on their part is to wear the clothing, play to the best of their abilities and speak highly of the brand.
