Fashionable items that also serve as golf-ready clothing? Yes, please!

While pretty much every golf manufacturer markets their apparel as multifunctional and has the ability to move seamlessly on and off the course, in many cases this just doesn’t work – especially when it comes to womenswear. Golf-specific items just look like that, even if they are fashionable enough to be worn elsewhere.
Fortunately, given the huge influx of activewear and athleisure now available from a multitude of non-golf specific brands, it is possible to work backwards. That said, choose fashionable pieces for your normal life that can conveniently double up as suitable ensembles on the court. This versatility is exactly what I found in some of the selections I received from the Free People’s Movement (FP) line.

Full disclosure here: I am a mother of two, in my mid thirties. I love fashion as much as everyone else, but when I clicked through the Free People website, the vibe definitely seemed a little out of my league in terms of style: the general look is young, funky, and in my way, ultra-cool . well not. I wasn’t sure I would find something that felt age-appropriate, let alone suitable for range time. But lo and behold, I was wrong!
The tops in particular surprised me positively. The fabrics are luxurious and super stretchy – perfect for feeling both fabulous and comfortable. I love the idea of wearing an outfit that can take me from school departures and pickups to a quick 30 minute range or peloton session.
The “Schooling You” skort (see article in detail below) is adorable, but definitely on the ultra-short end. It goes without saying that the dress code on your desired course would have to be a little looser for some of these looks to fly, but here in Arizona I would easily wear them on the public routes I visit most.
