With so much to love about golf, it’s a bummer that shopping for an outfit you love can sometimes seem like a daunting task. Luckily, members of the LPGA’s Teaching and Club Professionals will help take the guesswork out of finding golf clothing that fits your style and flatters your shape and size.
Here are the most highly recommended brands from nearly fifty professional women who work in the golf industry:
Tall
One of the primary hurdles taller golfers can face is finding tops that offer enough coverage for a full swing and bottoms with the right length for their long legs. Shopping brands that offer more than one length is a great place to start when in search of clothing with the right fit.
At the Top of the List for Taller Players:
“I like that [Jofit] has two different lengths in skorts. It’s hard to find a decent length for my long legs!!” – Meave
Petite
A smaller frame can pose its own set of challenges in length and fit. Finding a piece that you love but isn’t a perfect fit shouldn’t stop you from adding it to your wardrobe. Here’s a Pro Tip: “Taking pieces to get tailored is a small investment to get the fit just right for your golf wardrobe staples.” – Katie. We agree! Don’t let that perfect piece get away. 🙂
Most Recommended Brands for Petite Golfers:
Athletic
Whether you have a sporty frame, or just love mixing athletic pieces with more feminine styles, consider these brands to get a look you love. They may not be as well-known as a Nike, Puma, or Adidas, but they each come highly recommended from our LPGA Pros.
Best Brands for Your Inner Pro Golfer:
“For bottoms, I always wear a skirt! It’s about comfort, fit and pockets! I always gravitate towards the athleticism, spunk and feminine quality of LuLuLemon skirts. The fabric and quality hold up and they make me feel like a feminine athlete!” – Cori M.
Curvy
Style, performance, and sleek silhouettes that accommodate women of all shapes and sizes is what every woman who plays golf wants. Whether you prefer a classic style or bold prints, there’s a little something from these highly loved brands.
Most Recommended Brands for Curvy Golfers:
“Lopez for plus size! I’m a curvy, thick chick and their stuff fits perfect! Plus their sizes are true. Their clothing is comfortable, fashionable, and washes well. I’ve been wearing many of their pieces for years!” – Laura S.
“My favorite is LoudMouth. I’m so tired of the old classic look. I add a little spice. Even if I wear a more conservative outfit, I’ll put on a rhinestone customized belt buckle.” – Abbey M.
Busty
For those who need something tried-and-true that provides a sporty look with room for movement, try these beloved brands perfect for the bustier golfing gals.
Best-in-Class for Bustier Golfers:
“SanSoleil tops are a great fit in my opinion for busty women. I like that the lighter colored and lightweight tops aren’t “see-through” like a few other brands I’ve tried on. They don’t leave sweat marks and they have a wide variety of color and pattern options…and of course great for sun protection.” – Katie D.

I love all the accessories. Personally I’m a skirt lover and it definitely adds a different feel to an outfit.
I wish the sleeves on “mature” golf shirts were a little bit longer, covering more of my aging “wings”!
B-Skinz has choices of length on skirts for tall to petite. Customized without the extra price.
LOVE B-Skinz!
I would like to see the prices of quality golf clothes for women get reasonable. My husband gets his golf clothes at a lower cost and he buys the name brands. When golf clothes go on sale there is always bigger discounts for the men’s clothes.
I would like to purchase the brand’s discussed but they are too expensive
I found a great website called Mulligal.com where you can buy resale, new and consignment golf apparel.
Another label for skorts that are 19 inch length is EP Pro. Not just for taller golfers.
I love the Jamie Sadock brand for not only being taller, but it fits well and has UPF protection in majority of clothing line.
Does anyone know of any golf pants/shorts/capris that are low rise? I’ve looked everywhere and they all sit quite high on my tummy. I like my bottoms to sit on my hips. Please help. Summer is fast approaching in Oz and I have yet to find anything.
I wish there was more consistency of sizing amongst all of the manufacturers. For Example: I can wear a Jamie Saddock 2X top but in the Tail brand it’s too small. There should be a larger selection of manufacturers for us in the plus sizes.
5’2″, 123 with athletic build, not overweight but my waist is usually a problem area.
#1 fit skorts- Golftini.
Others: Greg Norman, Loudmouth, NIke
Don’t fit: EP & Tail
#1 golf slacks- Under Armour. I love my new UA pants I bought last year!
Don’t fit: Daly Sports- I used to love this brand but last time I bought everything ended up too baggy in the butt and thighs (pants/shorts).
#1 top- sadly none- no consistent fit or fabric year to year that I like.
Coolibar UPF – love the cotton polo’s and a great fit for my slim arms; haven’t tried the new ‘golf’ polo yet. Love Ralph Lauren RLX polo, Small Petite. Don’t fit well: Fairway & Greene, Tail, E&P.
Outerwear: Zero Restriction
Thanks for the detail! I think we have the exact opposite problem areas, but now I know which brands to try (your rejects are probably perfect for my own body). Lol.
Sorry, but can we please:
1. Add some women of color?
2. Add some women with actual curves and busts (I saw one)
While this is a nice article and a boon for the manufacturers out there, your pictures sadly are not telling the tale as you describe it. And remember, we are an inclusive sport!
PLEASE…where are the pants for someone with a little height!!! I’m sorry but capris don’t work when it is below 50!!! not everyone can wear pants with an inseam under 32….
Check the brand tarzisport.com. They offer petite sizes as well. Also if you leave your measurements at checkout, they customize it for you.
I hope that helps.
Golf sexualization of teens. Have you tried to find golf clothes for a 14 year old girl that’s 5’9″? Everything is too tight and too short! Why do we let the golf industry sexualize our young girls!
I love All Day Alba! their line is great for golf or just for hanging out
I am 5’10 and would prefer longer shirts. I also find that a ragalan sleeve allows for greater movement. It also covers more of the wing area, as was mentioned above.
I also have a longer waist to crotch measurement. Shorts, pants, capris need longer material. Items can be made smaller, but not larger or longer, after purchase.
I need 12″ shorts with zipper. Jofit made them for years but know make a 7″, not a good look on women over 60!
Anyone know of a company? Thanks
My biggest complaint about any golf apparel is how expensive it is. I’m a big girl and need 2XL shirts & skorts. I love Nancy Lopez because they fit great but the price is too much! I found terrific skorts for $15 at Costco but they only came in black but I grabbed 4 pair anyway. Any suggestions for a maker that doesn’t charge an arm & leg for the big girl sizes?
Recommended me best store for women’s golf fashion products.
Thank You in advance
Its really great content that i got here in details, tahnks fo rthis best idea.
I have large bicepts and find it difficult to find tops. Most are tight even when I try a 2x (which I drown in). I do not like sleeveless. Is there a brand that has generous sleeve openings??
I read the LGPA dress code updates on the kinonasport.com blog, and this reminds me of it. The thing I love about KINONA is that they’re actively trying to challenge the modern dress-wear on the course.
