The Best Summer Golf Looks 2025: What to Wear On and Off the Course
Image by: MR PORTER
Thought was all flat caps and argyle vests? Think again - here's what stylish men are wearing to golf in 2025.
Golf, for the modern gent, isn’t just about the handicap. It’s about looking sharp under pressure, mastering style as easily as your swing, and blurring the line between on-course gear and everyday wear. Out on the course, style becomes its own game: where tradition and rebellion eye each other over the rim of a pint glass, and the sharpest dressers know a killer quarter-zip can turn heads as fast as a perfect drive.
The modern golfer’s wardrobe is built for more than scorecards. It’s about that transition from fairway to terrace, where lightweight layers and clever tailoring make a seamless leap from putt to post-round drinks. You spot them easily: the ones who know how to nail the dress code without ever looking like they’ve tried. Effortless, but never accidental. Sophisticated, but always ready for a laugh if the wind picks up.
And if all this talk of tailored chinos and technical polos sounds a bit ambitious—well, don’t worry. For the gents who know their way round a club sandwich better than a club, but still fancy giving it a swing, we’ve got you covered. Below, discover our edit of the best golf gear for summer 2025: from timeless polos to shower-proof layers and everything in between. After all, looking the part is half the battle. (The other half? Finding your lost ball in the rough. Good luck with that.)
Nike
Nike Victory+ Men's Dri-FIT Golf Polo - Red - Polyester
£32.49

Lululemon
ABC Classic-Fit Golf Short 7"
£88.00

J LINDBERG
Legacy Moonbeam Polo Shirt
£80.00
If you’re after pedigree, look no further than J.Lindeberg - a brand that’s made a name for itself by marrying Scandinavian minimalism with sport-driven innovation.
