Golf Gifts for Golfers Who Don’t Want to Dress Like Golfers

Trail shoes, mohair sweaters, and wide-fit pants. Welcome to modern golf.

Some of the best things to wear for golf were never designed for it, and that’s the beauty of it. The NOT FOR GOLF mindset has quietly become one of the most exciting shifts in modern golf style. It’s less about performance fabric and more about personality. It’s about showing up in trail runners, wide-fit pants, or a mohair sweater and realizing they all somehow work.

This holiday, we’re celebrating that spirit, the golfers who find their fit outside the fairway. The ones who borrow from streetwear, workwear, or outdoor culture and make it their own. Because golf is starting to feel less like a uniform and more like an expression again.
