It's a 'Golf Girl Summer' and These Recent Drops are Proof

Something in the air has shifted, and it's not just that slight uptick in UV index. It's subtle. But a change is, and has been taking place. Have you noticed what and how golf brands have been recently dropping new collections? And we're not just talking about drops around majors, or as the season changes—those are expected. We're talking about more limited-edition, specialty drops that are specifically catered to women.

As golf continues to branch outside of its "normal" and becomes more mainstream in the pop culture lens, brands are attaching themselves to the ladies of the game. It's partially because women are one of the largest growing demographics in golf and the other side is that women hold significant purchasing power and influence among their circles—they’re the tastemakers of their households.

The intention and attention is focused on women—and the drops we’re seeing aren’t just for the girls using the same old shrink and pink it mentality, they’re more stylistically-driven. From diamond golf bracelets (the more nuanced cousin of the tennis bracelet) to darling shoe options that finally take the guessing game of what women should wear to non-golfing golf events—the bar has been raised.

Malbon x Ring Concierge

Let us just start by saying that creating a golf glove that has a designated slit for your diamond ring is absolutely genius and is the perfect execution of fashion-forward innovation. It’s a discourse that a lot of women engage in (no pun intended), but you’d be surprised to know the number of women who don’t wear golf gloves due to their wedding and engagement rings. Oftentimes, the solution has been to just not wear them or store them in golf bags (but that’s a bit risky) but now they don’t have to.

Not only did this collab between Ring Concierge and Malbon birth an insanely fabulous set of extravagant golf accessories that will soon be on a whole lot of people’s wishlists—but they created something innovative and a bit thought provoking. Because why haven’t we seen something like this before?

We’re also forging into a new era where luxury watches aren’t the only golf-appropriate accessory…after all diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Byrdie Golf x Dolce Vita

There isn’t another sport on the planet that requires so much thought on shoe selection. As the ultimate lifestyle sport, golf and golf-related activities require you to build your apparel and accessory arsenal with careful dedication. What you wear to play golf is one thing, but you wear to spectate or go to a brand event, or the other off the course activities that activate around our game and it’s biggest moments—is a whole other ball game.

The Byrdie Golf x Dolce Vita collab feels like a match made in shoe-lovers heaven. Releasing six shoe silhouettes, ranging from platforms to sneakers, Byrdie is continuing to align themselves for being the go-to brand when you need something chic yet golf-appropriate.

We raved about Byrdie's pink gingham "Behind the Bar" collection last month and we love that, even though this is a collab, it still feels like a continuation of what we've seen from the Byrdie Girls consistently.

Fore All x Khalhon

Our guy Raymond has raved about Khalhon before, deeming it a brand that you should be paying attention to. The Korean brand is modern sportswear made the right way, utilizing linens, terry and other materials that feel luxe, and premium.

This isn't their foray into women's golf, but this expansion into women's golf style with one of the most popular brands in the space, Fore All, feels like a new era. Not just for Khalhon but for FA, too. Each are dipping a toe in creating offerings for men and women that feel harmonious. It's that shift that we're talking about, brands taking small, subtle risks that aren't departures from who they are but rather a venture into where they want to be.
