Warmer weather is finally here to stay, and that means that golf season is officially in full swing. That means it’s time to take a look at your golf wardrobe with an eye to making sure you have the comfortable, functional performances pieces you need to get the most out of every game.
Men’s golf shorts are a great place to start. Let’s make sure you have the right performance shorts on hand for the season ahead.
How to Shop for Shorts: What to Look for in the Perfect Pair
Breathable golf shorts with excellent moisture wicking properties are key to staying comfortable on the links from late spring straight through the first games of fall. Quick-drying performance shorts are crucial when temperatures climb—well-designed golf shorts pull moisture away from your skin and allow evaporation to work its magic. That’s how you’ll stay dry and comfortable, even on the sultriest summer days.
Look for breathable golf shorts with built-in four-way stretch. You’ll want your shorts to flex with you through your swing, and as you crouch to line up your putts. Unrestricted movement is the goal here.
Men’s golf shorts should include golf-specific features that make life on the links better, including a small pocket for ball markers and a non-slip waistband that helps your shirt stay neatly tucked, even through 18 holes’ worth of stretching, bending, and swinging.
How Should Shorts Fit? A Guide to Finding Your Perfect Size
At Holderness & Bourne, we craft golf shorts with a modern, streamlined fit that’s perfect from course to clubhouse. Your ideal fit for a polished look is in the “Goldilocks” zone—not too tight and not too loose. With our course-ready men’s shorts for golf, you won’t need to leave room for movement; the stretch built into our performance fabric will take care of that.
Choose your preferred fabric and inseam length. The Harwood Short, made from our super-soft performance fabric, features an 8.75" inseam, while The Cameron Short, with its 9" inseam, is tailored from a premium stretch-cotton blend renowned for its breathability and durability.
Men’s Shorts Fashion: Styling the Perfect Look
H&B golf shorts are designed for the links, but they’re part of our off-course uniform, too. Look sharp from the first tee box to the 18th green, and on to the clubhouse and everywhere else your day takes you. For a timeless look, pair our shorts with our polo shirts, such as The Maxwell or The Perkins. If changeable weather lies ahead, or for chilly early tee times, layer on a performance pullover. The Sherwood or The Bell are bestselling quarter-zips; for a new-school look, pull on a hoodie such as The Stowe or The Jackson.
