Looking for new and cool golf clothing brands? You have come to the right place.
Fashion and style have always played a key role in the game of golf and never has this been truer than today. Players at amateur and professional levels are becoming increasingly conscious of their clothing whilst on the course, not to mention their demands for the performance of their clothing is ever increasing. Golf clothing these days needs to look great and perform even better to ensure players are getting the most out of themselves on and off the course.
Brands like Nike and Peak Performance are using cutting-edge fabrics and materials to help keep golfers acclimatised to the conditions of play. Other companies, like Bogner and Kjus use their knowledge of skiwear to provide luxurious, high-performance clothing, and some brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren and Original Penguin instil a style that harks back to an era where styles were classical.
Whatever your personal style, skill level, or budget there are brands that will cater to your golfing needs. Here is our selection of the finest golfing brands for men.

From the man that brought us Mossimo, G/FORE is based out of Beverly Hills and offers a mixture of modern and traditional golf clothing. Their golfing shoes are reminiscent of a time gone golfing era, yet the clothing is modern and made from cutting edge fabrics. This eclectic mix of old and new is a bold statement, but pull it off and you’ll be looking pretty schmick.
Bonobos
Bonobos is an American clothing brands that has pretty much nailed the perfect-fitting pair of pants, thanks to a cleverly designed waistband that contours far better to your natural body shape than pretty much anything else on the market.

But it’s not just golf pants you should consider buying from Bonobos, as over the years they have teamed up with professional golfers to develop a complete line of classy golf clothing that is also performance-driven. They offer the aforementioned golf pants, but in addition, you can pick up shirts and accessories that’ll keep you looking sophisticated and feeling comfortable on the green.

Uniqlo
A brand that needs no introduction has long been a part of the professional golfing world is Uniqlo. The Japanese clothing brand is a go-to for pretty much any clothing necessity for men, but the range of dedicated golf gear is particularly impressive. The brand’s Dry-Ex fabric technology stands front and centre here, offering breathability and moisture-wicking, as well being lightweight and allowing you to move freely.
You’ll also find pants and shorts that form Uniqlo’s Kando line, which has been developed in collaboration with professional golfer and global brand ambassador, Adam Scott. With the look of a formal pair of trousers but made to perform on the golf course – not to mention they’re incredibly affordable – makes Uniqlo an absolute must-visit.

Lyle and Scott
Scottish clothing brand Lyle and Scott is practically synonymous with the game of golf. Having been founded in 1874 with a focus on golf clothing and knitwear in particularly, the brand with the iconic Golden Eagle logo soon found favour with the likes of Greg Norman, Gary Player and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. Today, Lyle and Scott’s golf clothing collection continues to consist of a range of knitwear, in the form of sweaters, knitted polo shirts and cardigans.
Regular polo shirts are par for the course, too, along with quarter-zip pullovers, performance-orientated trousers and even windbreaker jackets.

Ted Baker
Ted Baker is a British clothing brand that has never seemed to take itself too seriously. We only say this, because of the humour that comes through in their clothing, and the regular references to the fictitious Ted Baker in the third-person. It certainly makes the brand a likeable one, but we think you’ll like the range of golf clothing on offer even more.
With polo shirts, pants and socks all available in Ted’s customary range of prints, bold colours and interesting designs, if you don’t take yourself too seriously on the course, check Ted Baker out.
Radmor
Radmor finds it quite ironic that golf is one of the few sports that’s played outside surrounded by nature, and yet players are often dressed from their head to their toes in plastic; yes, polyester is technically a plastic, and is horrible in terms of sustainability. Therefore, Radmor is dedicated to creating golf clothing comprising shirts, shorts and pants, that IS sustainable and will reduce our impact on the environment, all without compromising on style, quality, or comfort.
Devereux
Devereux designs their clothes for real golfers, the good, the bad, and the mediocre; the golfers who are there because they enjoy it. It’s with this in mind that Devereux makes golf clothing for men that allows you to relax and have more fun on the course. They have a fantastic range of polos, shirts, sweaters, jackets, pants, and shorts that all have impressive technologies that’ll enhance your golfing experience, but are also extremely stylish so you can wear these items long after your game finishes.
Cole Haan
They may be best known for footwear, including their golf shoes, but US retailer Cole Haan is also in the clothing game, and its men’s golf collection is one you should be checking out. You’ll find more accessories than anything else, such as socks, belts, sunglasses and hats, all primed and ready for club-swinging action, but with some hoodies and jackets through in the mix too, you’ll be well-protected on those cooler days.
Stitch Golf
US golf clothing company Stitch was founded in 2012 with the means to create reliable products that were made incredibly well, right down to the last stitch. Understanding that you need to look good and feel good on the course, Stitch Golf’s range of apparel is tastefully designed. With a generous selection of polo shirts in various colours and patterns, along with vests, jackets and pants, your new golf wardrobe awaits.

Under Armour
Under Armour was the first company to offer moisture wicking shirts and apparel, such is this dedication to innovation, and as a result, this approach has been carried over to their golf clothing line, in combination with a modern approach to the game. Whether you’re after some new golf shirts, some shorts or pants or even a new pair of golf shoes, Under Armour has you covered. If you already have clothing covered but are looking for a range of top-quality accessories, such as gloves, towels, hats, belts or sunglasses, then once again, Under Armour comes up trumps.
Hugo Boss Golf
Hugo Boss proves it can do more than just formal and business clothing, as its range of clothing can comfortably swing with the other brands on this list, and was even one of the major sponsors of the 150th British Open.

Jus places a strong emphasis on stretch, freedom of movement and range of motion to allow you to swing without restriction, and this rings true through the entire collection, whether it be a polo shirt or a pair of golf pants.

Style and sophistication is the order of play here, with shirts, shorts and pants all available in performance-driven fabrics that fit oh so well. A little more reserved when it comes to colour choice, admittedly, but if you’re serious about your club swing, then we imagine you’d want to look just as seriously impressive while doing so.
Nike
Ok, so, while this list isn’t necessarily ordered in rank of our favourites, we figured Nike would already be such a huge name in the golfing world that we had to give some others a chance. But, fact of the matter is Nike knows golf almost unlike anybody else. There has to be a reason Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have chosen to wear their clothing for years, right?
Nike offers a huge selection of golf clothing for men, from shoes to shirts to pants and pretty much anything else you could need, and all represent some of the highest performing products available.
Peak Performance
Whilst traditionally an outdoor outfitter, Peak Performance harnesses their understanding of the great outdoors to make golf clothing to keep you protected from the elements.
