Best Designer Golf Clothing
In the past few years we have seen a trend where more and more designer labels have looked to break into the golfing world with apparel. Brands like Ralph Lauren, Original Penguin, Lacoste, BOSS and plenty more make the best golf tops, best golf trousers and pretty much every other piece of clothing.
These products often look great and give your game the confidence it deserves thanks to the premium, high-quality feel and aesthetics of the garments.
But which models should you go for? Well we have taken a look at some of our favourites pieces of designer golf clothing below so hopefully you find something you like.
Alternatively if you are after something else we also recommend having a look at some of our other buying guides below too. Such as the best golf shoes, best golf waterproofs or best golf hats.
Best Designer Golf Clothing
Peter Millar Crown Sport Perth Performance 1/4 Zip
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 10
One of Peter Millar’s most popular garments, the Perth Quarter-Zip is constructed from a polyester and spandex blend that has the power of moisture-wicking technology, along with four-way stretch. It is available in a number of classic colours but you can also push the boat out with camo and stripe designs if you so wish as well.
Original Penguin Mixed Media Layering Top
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3
Dependable clothing is a must in adverse weather conditions. One such garment that won’t let you down is this Mixed Media Layering Top from Original Penguin. It is 100% polyester and gives great warmth and comfort whilst also offering a stylish and understated aesthetic. As such it works just as well off the golf course as on it.
TravisMathew Stopover Pullover
Sizes: S-3XL
Colours: 3
We are fast becoming fans of TravisMathew because the brand makes some of the best designer golf clothing anywhere.
Take this pullover top for example. It would look right at home on and off the course and is made from a four-way stretch, wrinkle resistant and supremely comfortable fabric that makes it very easy to wear all day.
G/FORE Luxe Staple Midlayer
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3
This signature midlayer offers elevated style for both on & off-course with what can probably be called G/FORE’s most understated garment ever. This midlayer is made from an extremely soft mix of polyester, cotton and spandex to give you a comfortable feel and a touch of stretch when needed. It is available in three different colours.
Original Penguin Fleece Popover Hoodie
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 6
The Fleece Popover Hoodie is brand new this season from Original Penguin. Perfect for range days or relaxing in off the golf course, this hoodie has a soft brushed interior, drawstring hood and a handy front kangaroo pocket.
G/FORE Tech Pullover Hoodie
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
The game of golf is changing in terms of apparel with more brands designing hoodies for the golf course. One such example is this Tech Pullover design from G/FORE which has a unique look with the Skull & T’s logo and black and white colour-way. You don’t have to worry about performance either because it makes excellent use of a warm fleece lined fabrication which keeps you warm, whilst the soft feel is very nice indeed. Also two more things we really like here – the versatility in that it can be used on and off the course, and the two convenient pockets.
J. Lindeberg Banks Sweater
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 4
Perfect for layering in cooler conditions, this Banks mid-layer is breathable, moisture-wicking, quick-drying and has four-way stretch to deliver in every way you want it to on the golf course.
Peter Millar Hyperlight Weld Hybrid Half Zip
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 2
The Hyperlight Weld Hybrid jacket offers the ideal answer to blustery conditions. Made from a premium, breathable performance fabric with four-way stretch, it’s constructed with a highly wind and water-resistant exterior for protection from the elements. Light insulation beneath the woven panel offers comfortable warmth without adding weight, and the ergonomic seaming enhances mobility.
Ralph Lauren RLX Performance Stretch Quarter Zip Pullover
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colours: 2
This lightweight layer is made from moisture-wicking knit jersey that has a generous amount of stretch, ensuring comfort with every swing. As worn by Billy Horschel out on the PGA Tour, it looks great and as you would expect, is beautifully well made too.
Calvin Klein Golf Wrangell Hybrid Jacket
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3
Calvin Klein’s Wrangell Hybrid Jacket offers brilliant protection from the elements, while still maintaining breathability. It uses Chill Force Outer Layer technology which helps the golfer remain protected and yet also maintains the lightweight feel which is great because we all hate playing in jackets that feel heavy and restrictive to the swing.
G/FORE Repeller Jacket
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
If you want a stylish, smart jacket with an understated but modern design, that also keeps rain and wind at bay then the Repeller Jacket from G/FORE is a very good choice for you. Protection comes thanks to the Dry-Tex fabric and heat bonded seams as well as the handy hood design at the back. An excellent model that looks great anywhere.
Peter Millar Crown Sport Hyperlight Shield Half Zip Jacket
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3
Engineered from a highly technical 2.5 layer performance fabric, the Hyperlight Shield Half-Zip is a go-to security piece offering fully waterproof, seam-sealed protection and optimal coverage in inclement weather. The innovative Tour-tested fabric is supremely soft and comfortable with two-way mechanical stretch and easy-care benefits. A separate stow pouch allows it to be packed down tight and easily stashed in a golf bag.
BOSS Pauletech Polo
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 5
The Pauletech polo features in a slim fit with a three-button design on the front of the polo. It also includes added stretch to keep you comfortable and mobile on and off the course, with the signature Hugo Boss logo on the left side of the chest.
Original Penguin Floral Conversational Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
Original Penguin may be a relatively unknown golf apparel brand compared to some others, but it has been making outstandingly cool and high-quality golf shirts in particular for decades now. The brand has always sought to create products that look great everywhere and this floral design is a case in point.
It is inspired by the famous Azalea flower of Augusta National where the pink flowers combine with fun prints of golf balls, bags and golf carts to give a very unique and yet stylish aesthetic.
Another important thing to mention is the shirt’s material also has an eye on the environment too because it is part of Penguin’s Re-Originals collection, made from a combination of polyester, elastane, and recycled polyester, all with the objective of producing more sustainable products from recyclable materials. Given all of this, its inclusion in our guide on the best golf polos was a no-brainer.
G/FORE Liberty Stripe Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 2
G/FORE tend to produce outlandish gear with far-out designs but the brand has shown restraint with this liberty polo. We think it looks great in both the snow and twilight designs, importantly working with a variety of trousers and shorts. It is made from a breathable tech pique fabric for those extremely warm days and it is stretchy enough for the most rapid of golf swings.
Peter Millar Crown Sport Night Performance Jersey Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
This polo offers sharp style and technical performance that make it a staple in any wardrobe. It’s constructed using a lightweight, easy-care jersey fabric that wicks moisture and stretches four ways for optimal mobility on and off the course. Innovative UPF 50+ sun protection delivers added coverage for long days spent outside.
TravisMathew Solar Power Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-3XL
Colours: 1
We love this polo from TravisMathew. Made from a Prestige technical fabric designed to perform in extreme conditions, not only does it work well on the golf course but we think it is a polo you can wear anywhere.
As such we also featured it in our guides on the best men’s golf shirts too.
Ralph Lauren RLX Tech Pique Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 1
We think this polo looks great, as you would expect from Ralph Lauren, but it is also lightweight, stretchy, moisture-wicking, and a design worthy of inclusion on this list of the best designer golf clothing.
Original Penguin Eco Golf Earl Polo
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 7
A shirt that you would have seen Cameron Smith wear on a number of occasions, at the 2021 Masters for example, this Earl polo is one of the most popular garments Penguin makes. It has an understated design in lots of different colours, whilst also having a comfortable feel thanks to the lightweight fabric.
Polo Golf Ralph Lauren Classic Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: N/A
Keep things simple but stylish with this classic polo from Ralph Lauren. It has a cotton rich construction with a little extra stretch to help you during the swing and it is no understatement to say the design works with pretty much any outfit.
J.Lindeberg Ade Polo Shirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3
The ‘Ade Polo Shirt’ that Viktor Hovland is wearing this year is crafted in ‘High Vent Jersey’ that allows for moisture transportation and ventilation. The lightweight polo also features a vertical mesh stripe creating a clean and crisp finish.

Available in an astounding nine excellent colours, and plenty of different sizes, they are lauded for the unique combination of technical features, like two-way stretch, moisture-management and easy care, with a weekend-ready five-pocket design.
Whether you’re playing 18 holes or headed to lunch in town, these trousers are an excellent addition to any players golfing wardrobe.
G/FORE Tour 5 Pocket Pants
Sizes: 30-40
Colours: 4
G/FORE products usually stand out from the crowd in outlandish ways but the brand has kept things classically stylish here. These trousers are smart, casual, lightweight and extremely soft on the skin which makes them very easy to wear all day. They are made from a Japanese performance stretch twill fabric which is ideal for maximum mobility and comfort.
J. Lindeberg Ellott Pants
Sizes: 31-38
Colours: 4
J. Lindeberg’s Ellott trousers are one of the best models on the market right now, with the new design getting a fresh update. The new fabric is breathable, lightweight, stretchy, water repellent and quick drying which is everything you could possibly want from a golf trouser right?
Original Penguin All Day Everyday Pants
Sizes: 30-40
Colours: 5
If you are a fan of Penguin golf gear, perhaps you have seen the No Laying Up guys wearing the apparel at some point, then these All Day Everyday Pants could be your perfect pair of pants this year. Made with a stretchy and technologically advanced fabric it is the little details we like the most here, such as the elastic gripper waistband, and Pete the Penguin logo on the back. The versatility here is also a huge plus point because these, as the name would suggest, can be worn all day and just about anywhere.
Polo Golf Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Stretch Pants
Sizes: 28-42

Get the premium look with these Ralph Lauren pants. They may have slim in the name but don’t let that put you off because they stretch excellently and have moisture-wicking properties as well.
BOSS Spectre Trousers
Sizes: 28-42

The Spectre trousers from BOSS are water repellent and have an elasticated waistband for comfort. To give that Tour approval, Henrik Stenson often wears them out on the professional circuit.
TravisMathew Beck Shorts
Sizes: 30-42
Colours: 6
We love these Beck shorts – they also made our list of the best golf shorts – because of the combination of performance, comfort, and because they are so versatile you can use them anywhere which adds to the value. The fabric has a high-degree of stretch and moisture-wicking capability which makes them comfortable to wear all day, something that is very easy to do.
G/FORE Maverick Hybrid Shorts
Sizes: 30-40
Colours: 6
G/FORE usually specialise in garments that truly stand out from the crowd, but these shorts have a more understated appeal. These Maverick shorts are ultra-lightweight, moisture-wicking and have a four-way stretch fabric, all of which combine to make these a good pair to consider. We found these shorts also worked in a variety of locations too, whether that be at the beach, at the shops, on the greens or in the clubhouse.
Ralph Lauren RLX Tailored Fit Golf Shorts
Sizes: 28-42
Colours: 1
A highly premium pair of shorts, these RLX Ralph Lauren shorts have a slim-fit, five pocket design constructed with a moisture wicking, stretch fabric which will keep you cool and comfortable whilst on the course.
J. Lindeberg Eddy Golf Shorts
Sizes: 30-38
Colours: 4
The Eddy Shorts feature a slightly shorter length than other on this list but the Micro High Stretch technology means they flex to your swing and have excellent mobility. Indeed this fabric has been specifically designed to deal with the high demands of the game of golf.
Also if you want to complete the look, take a look at our best golf belts too because some J. Lindeberg designs are iconic.
Original Penguin All Over Pete Embroidered Shorts
Sizes: 30-42
Colours: 7
For all day every day style on and off the golf course, you can’t beat these Original Penguin All Over shorts. Manufactured using the finest materials whilst also using recycled material, the blend of polyester and elastane give enough stretch to allow full movement. We love the aesthetic too as unmistakable Pete the Penguin logo is displayed throughout the short, and there are a number of colours available which will make sure you stand out on the links. These are perfect for the summer.
Peter Millar Crown Sport Salem High Drape Performance Short

Part of the excellent Crown Sport range, the Salem’s are exceptionally soft and made from a lightweight performance twill that offers two-way stretch, moisture-wicking, quick-dry and easy-care benefits. Versatility is a huge plus point too because we think these can be used anywhere, especially in so many different colours.
TravisMathew ‘You Pay Now’ Cap
Sizes: One size fits most

TravisMathew make some of the most stylish apparel in the game and that includes the hats! We particularly liked this ‘You Pay Now’ model which has a distinctive and yet classic aesthetic whilst also providing breathable comfort thanks to the mesh to the rear of the hat.
G/FORE Pray For Birdies Hat
Sizes: One size fits most
Colours: 2
G/FORE always make gear and apparel that stands out and this hat is no exception. Featuring a phrase we all go to the golf course saying ‘Pray for Birdies’, this cap looks great especially in white.

J. Lindeberg Bubba Belt
This may not as iconic as the J.Lindeberg belt below (the Slater), but we love this belt regardless. The braided belt is woven with a range of colours and the leather detailing and embossed logo artwork adds a touch of premium feel to it as well.
Cuater Pueblo Belt
Available in three colours, the Pueblo belt from Cuater offers a braided, subtly stylish look which is also comfortable thanks to the stretchiness of it.
J. Lindeberg Slater Belt
A classic belt with the famous JL design on the buckle, the Slater brushed leather belt from J.Lindeberg is a wardrobe staple. All three of the above belts made it into our best golf belts guide but if you want more models then be sure to have a read of that guide.
