Best Fall Golf Apparel: What to Wear When the Temperatures Drop
Welcome to the homeward half of the year. Fall brings some of our favorite games—precious time out on the links on crisp days when the sun seems to shine a richer shade of gold. Sure, it’s a little cooler out on the course—days start out frosty in the morning, and evening comes earlier and earlier—but there’s still plenty of great golf to be found, especially if you follow these fall golf wear tips.
Understanding Fall Golf Fashion
The answer to what to wear golfing when it’s cold is surprisingly straightforward if you know the key: layering. By choosing the right layers, you set yourself up for a comfortable round from early morning through post-game cocktails at the clubhouse—all while looking sharp.
The Essential Fall Golf Wear
Start with the basics. Choose breathable performance shirts and pants from Holderness & Bourne to ensure full range of motion through every swing and read of the green. Our performance fabrics also excel at moisture management, which you’ll really appreciate when the game heats up. By whisking sweat away as it forms on your skin, performance fabrics help you retain body heat more efficiently.
How to Dress Warm for Golf Without Sacrificing Style
Next up: the midlayer. These pieces are the workhorses of fall golf fashion, giving you an in-between option when a polo shirt isn’t enough, but a jacket is too much—but keep in mind that a midlayer can be worn with a vest or jacket on particularly frosty mornings and windy, raw days, as well. (More on that in a moment.)
Choose a performance layer that offers a touch of warmth, excellent moisture wicking (see above), and stretch. Choose from crewnecks, quarter-zips, quarter-snaps, or hoodies to create a polished look that suits your personal style.
Are you after a more traditional look? Our Merino-Cashmere sweaters offer thermoregulating warmth and moisture management, all in a classic sweater crafted from the softest yarns sourced from partners committed to animal welfare. We have you covered with crewneck, quarter-zip, and hoodie styles so you can put together your perfect look.
Layering is about more than just functionality on the course—whether performance or merino-cashmere, Holderness & Bourne layers are a handsome option for the office and weekend socializing, too.
What to Wear Golfing When It's Cold
Prep for frosty mornings and breezes that arrive with a bite with a performance jacket or vest that shuts out the elements without getting in the way of your game. From fleece to advanced Thermore® insulation, our outerwear helps you retain precious body heat, so you stay comfortable on the course. And with our wind- and water-resistant styles, you can take on the worst weather Mother Nature has in store.
Golf-forward design means that Holderness & Bourne jackets and vests feature strategically placed insulation and performance stretch panels that let you get the most from every swing while keeping you warm and comfortable so you can perform at your peak.
The Benefits of Golfing in the Fall
From the time the first leaves have begun to change, we know clock is ticking. We love to get out and enjoy these last rounds of the season before the snow flies—it’s more than just the mental or physical game, more than the exercise and the time with friends outdoors. There’s just something about the crispness of the air and the lighter crowds that makes golfing in the fall particularly sweet.
