Golf Clothing – Retro Fashion

Golf Clothing � Retro Fashion

If you're a dedicated follower of fashion you'll know that retro golf clothing is the look of the season.

Golf clothing � functional or fashionable

Although many hard core golfers think that golf clothing should simply be functional to help improve their game, the fashion police have reclaimed golf clothing. Now, classic golf clothing is seen as a fashion pastiche and retro. Even if the sweaters are garish, golf clothing is about making a self conscious fashion statement.

New designers

New designers have invaded golf clothing, but many criticise the top brands designing glamorous golf bags as being unpractical. One 30 year-old interviewed in the national press on golf clothing felt the high price golf bags are a �bit of a joke': �It was so impractical, too heavy to lug around on the course and not enough storage. Maybe it would make a nice umbrella stand at home?� He felt fashion statements were out of place on the golf course, and golf clothing should simply be functional.

Golf clothes aren't cool

Many serious golfers believe that the thing about golf clothes is that they reflect the fact that golf is not meant to be cool. People still dress quite formally.

Some believe however as more and more woman take up the game, golf clothing will get better.

Funky golf clothing 

Now there are dedicated websites selling �funky golf clothing' to help you �funk it up on the course' with an �ultra funky selection' of golf clothing. But will looking funky improve your handicap?

Fashion changes afoot

Nevertheless, fashion changes are afoot in golf. Time magazine even noted that golf clothing manufacturers are starting to realise that style on the golf course is important. In America , two out of three golfers are women.

�At Dior, John Galliano - who has never picked up a club in his life - has created a line of offbeat golf clothing and accessories, including a pink-and-yellow, Argyle-patterned golf bag and knickers," observed Time magazine.

A look for everyone

But now there is a look for everybody on the golf course with designer golf clothing, retro golf clothing and urban cool golf clothing � check out what Justin Timberlake is wearing this season on the golf course. But according to the Canadian newspaper, the Toronto Star, the retro look is increasingly popular with grandchildren pilfering their grandparents' closets for clothes to get that Bob Hope look.
