One of the great things about golf is that even when you’re struggling to elevate your game, it never has to be a struggle to elevate your style. That’s where we come in with two words: visual textures.

With this one simple trick you’ll easily become the best looking version of yourself on the course, which leads to feeling better about yourself and ultimately, lower scores. It’s science, trust us. And that trick involves either choosing actual textured pieces, or choosing texture effects. Here are some ideas of how you can do both.

Choose Texture Effect

There are some really cool polos out there that give a great texture effect, like Field Day’s John 4 Button shirt that gives off some cool texture vibes with a houndstooth look, yet its breathable pique fabric keeps the air flowing even in the heat. Similarly, Field Day’s Ford 5 Button shirt in Charcoal Heather lets off strong texture feels as does something like G/FORE’s Melange Ice Nylon Shirt.

When it comes to outerwear, a similar texture effect can be achieved with something like the Thaxter Sweater from Redvanly, with a stylish wool construction that provides extra warmth and a soft feel. And Greyson’s Monogram Jacquard Quarter Zip also brings a textured look.

Choose Texture

The other opinion for adding visual textures is actually adding some texture to your wardrobe. And the perfect place to start is with Redvanly’s Collins Corduroy Pants, which are built with stretch for better movement but with a corduroy finish.

Meanwhile, quilting has seen a big spike in golf apparel and is also perfect for achieving that textured look, starting with the Release Half Zip from KJUS, which features a water resistant finish, laser-cut ventilation and moisture wicking fabric. You could also try the Field Day Palmer Performance Hoodie in Charcoal / Herringbone, or the Scotia 2.0 vest from Puma.

So please, let these textures – or at least the appearance of textures – elevate your style to the point that not only are you the best dressed, but you’ll also have the best golf swing. Don’t forget about our science!
