Golf, long a bastion of classic leisure-class style, has historically been defined by its traditional attire—think pastel polos, stiff collars, and khaki slacks designed for the manicured grounds of private country clubs. In 2025, however, this long-standing sartorial code is undergoing a dramatic shift. What was once reserved strictly for the green is now taking center stage in luxury menswear. Today’s golfwear merges quiet luxury, athleisure, and the ever-popular “old money” aesthetic, evolving into a fashion-forward statement that extends far beyond tee time.
Modern golf collections have broken away from their conservative origins. Leading fashion houses are now directing their creative energy toward the sport, reinventing traditional silhouettes with a fresh, urban edge. Kim Jones’ lifestyle capsule for Dior Men, inspired by golf, offers a bold reinterpretation of preppy essentials such as polo shirts and V-neck sweaters by pairing them with cargo Bermuda shorts and sleek track pants. Meanwhile, Off-White’s “All In One” collection, created in collaboration with Paris Hilinski, features distinctive arrow graphics—an homage to the label’s founder, Virgil Abloh—that adorn polos and jackets worn by the pro golfer during tournaments. Malbon Golf, a lifestyle brand with the endorsement of names like Travis Scott and Ghostface Killah, provides quarter-zips and windbreakers with a streetwise attitude, perfect for both the course and the city streets.
Designers are clearly drawing from golf’s refined history while adapting it to fit the tastes of a more style-conscious generation. Iconic houses like Loro Piana and Ralph Lauren continue to set the tone, grounding their collections in elegance and heritage. Simultaneously, brands like Rowing Blazers are reviving the sport’s charm with modern flair, presenting collections that maintain golf’s timeless appeal while enhancing its relevance in contemporary menswear. These updates have resulted in attire that’s as comfortable at a gallery opening or rooftop gathering as it is on the 18th hole.
The momentum extends beyond designer showrooms, signaling a broader lifestyle trend. At the 2025 Masters, fashion-forward spectators turned heads with looks that rivaled those of the players. Wide-brimmed hats, luxury sunglasses, and tailored knitwear layered over crisp shirts created an effortlessly polished image—one that balances preppy tradition with subtle modern edge. This new vision of golfwear embodies sophistication without rigidity and athletic ease without compromising on style.
Celebrities are also helping to propel this shift. Cultural influencers like Tyler, The Creator and Jeremy Allen White have been seen sporting golf-inspired ensembles that combine performance fabrics with high-end accessories. Whether paired with loafers or designer sneakers, their outfits confirm that the golf aesthetic has left the confines of the country club and fully entered the style mainstream.
Luxury menswear in 2025 is embracing the links with open arms, transforming golfwear into a versatile, elevated fashion category. With its refined blend of tradition and trend, the modern take on golf style is no longer just a nod to sport—it’s a complete lifestyle.
