The Best Golf Shorts From Brands You Might Not Know About

Posted by Admin August 19, 2024 Golf

Summer may be winding down in many parts of the United States, but you’d have a hard time convincing anyone who lives in the Northeast, Midwest or the South of that. And even though a nice pair of pants has a way of elevating any outfit, nobody wants to see you ruthlessly memed like free perspirer Lucas Glover.

Luckily today’s style norms are shifting not only on the grassroots level but also on tour (thank you Jason Day and Malbon Golf), which means that many golf shorts now have a better chance at passing for gym shorts, tennis shorts or trail shorts, and vice versa. Having said that, there are still plenty of style points to be gained from mastering the old money, country club aesthetic. So in order to build your perfect shorts rotation, we’ve divided the entries into versatile, lifestyle and classic, ensuring you have something to wear at country clubs, driving ranges and municipal tracks alike.

Versatile

Brooklyn-based Public Drip believes that the best fits are found on public golf courses where the rules are more relaxed, and these Anywhere Cord Shorts have a ton of versatility. Wear them to the driving range with an untucked polo, to the beach with a tank top or to dinner with an oxford shirt. The cotton material is light and breezy and the square fit allows the legs to breathe.

Classic

Metalwood Studio Pleated Short

Arriving in bone, navy or black the Metalwood Pleated Shorts are a far cry from the tight and stretchy stuff you’ll see during practice round days on the professional tours. Rather, these pleated bloomers hark to the 90s and guys like Fred Couples and Brad Faxon.

Quiet Golf Players Shorts

Orange County-based Quiet Golf is a golf apparel brand known for its less-is-more attitude, allowing golfers to show their personality in the details rather than flashy colors. Coming in two color choices, these flat front shorts are subtly branded with a QG monogram at the right hip. And while the silhouette is that of a classic khaki golf short (size up if you want a roomier fit), the nylon blend keeps you cool during those toasty afternoons.

MANORS Recycled Greenskeeper Short

When the MANORS team took to designing the Greenskeeper Trousers, they based their vision on the baggy pleated pants that had pro tours in a chokehold during the early 2000s. The goal was to update them with modern materials, then complement them with added functionality. The pants became one of MANORS’ signature garments, and now the brand has turned them into shorts.
