You might not think of golf as a high-fashion sport, but we’re hoping to change your mind. The best golf clothes for women are as stylish as they are functional—because you don’t want your shirt getting in the way of your swing, or your skirt riding up while you’re on the green.
We asked SELF editors and golfers for the activewear that helps them play their best for all 18 holes. Then, we took some style inspo from pros and celebs who know a thing or two about how to dress for the sport. All you have to do is hit “add to cart.”

When she’s not starring in the most streamable TV shows ever, Nicole Kidman can be found on the golf course. Her outfits strike the perfect balance of casual and cute—and this monochrome moment is easy to recreate. First, grab Lululemon’s Define Jacket. It’s made with the brand’s stretchy, sweat-wicking Nulu fabric, so you can take that big swing with ease.
Next, you need a pleated skirt. SELF’s lifestyle writer, Jenna Ryu, has the perfect pick: Alo’s Grand Slam Tennis Skirt. “It looks so chic while being practical,” she says. “I usually hate built-in shorts—they’re too tight and kind of uncomfortable—but the material of these is so buttery soft.”
Nike by TOGETHXR’s Cap will shield your eyes from the sun while reminding your fellow players and caddies that “everyone watches women’s sports.” Nike’s Infinity G NN golf shoes look super similar to Nicole’s, and we like that they come in regular, wide, and extra-wide sizes to help you find the perfect fit. They’re inspired by a running shoe, but designed for the green—their spiky outsole has great traction in wet weather.

Pro golfer Michelle Wie keeps her uniform simple, with a bright pop of color that’ll stand out at the driving range. You’ll need a great skort—SELF’s manager of creative development, Lauren Alberti, swears by this Old Navy pick. “I’ve been loving this skort because of its versatility. I’ve worn it to the office, out around the city, and on my hot girl walks,” she says. “The fact that it’s a skort just adds to how comfortable it is: avoiding chub rub and protecting against sudden gusts of wind. Plus, it’s cute and goes with anything.” Throw that on with Athleta’s Momentum Seamless Tank in a bold hue, and you’ve got a whole ‘fit.
