Get Patriotic- It's That Time!

It's US Open week and Fourth of July is a month away.  Let's dress like a patriot shall we?  I made a trip to the local Golfsmith to uncover a few appropriate looks for the occasion.  Try being a female in the men's apparel section of a golf retailer.  Yeah...the guys working thought I was crazy, but then again, they didn't seem to mind too much.  If you think these product shots are crappy, you will have to get over it though.  I was not about to make things any more awkward than they already were by perfecting them.   

adidas

Shirt: ClimaCool 3-Stripes Polo - blue/white $65
Shorts: ClimaLite Flat Front Shorts - white $65
This is my favorite of the looks showcased here.  It is very clean and striking, not busy and over-the-top.  It says "I am confident and this isn't my first round of golf," even if that actually isn't the case.  I like that this combo has a hint of the all-white style, yet you can't deny the bold color representation.  Choose a matching electric blue belt or in  this case, a white belt is actually acceptable.  You can even step out of the "safe zone" and pair this polo with electric blue pants. 

Shirt: ClimaLite Pocket Polo - blue/white $60
Shorts: ClimaLite Plaid Shorts - white/royal blue $70
It is no secret I am not a huge lover of plaid.  However, if the base of the plaid is white, I can appreciate it more.  These adidas white and blue shorts are pretty classic.  The style of this polo, with the white piping and addition of the chest pocket , adds a touch of uniqueness.  Works for me!

Nike Golf

Shirt: Tour Dri-FIT Tech Jersey Polo - red $50
Shorts: Tour Dri-FIT Striped Shorts - white/light blue $39 (Close-out. Buy now)
Here's the story.  Saw these shorts almost immediately in the store.  They are totally fresh.  Design of the fabric is like a new spin on seersucker.  Come to find out, they are actually on close-out at Golfsmith, but I still felt they were worth sharing.  It is subtle details like this fabric that you should look for.  Different, yet classy.  I must have been onto something, too.  A friend just now text me a picture of these exact shorts to see if I had seen them yet.  How weird is that?!  Well, that is two females that approve.  What else do you need?  Go buy these suckers!  These shorts will look great with a white polo, or opt for totally festive with the red. 

 

Shirt: Tour Dri-FIT Core Striped Polo - red $55
Shorts: Tour Dri-FIT Modern Tech Pants - blue $80
Can you just hear Lee Greenwood?  "And I'm proud to be an American..."  This option is pretty bold, and not for everyone, but there are some of you that absolutely insist on making a splash on the golf course, aside from the 10 or so balls you lose in water hazards per round, so I am just trying to give you a little guidance.  Some of you can totally get away with this combo.  Why not rock these pants like Sting on the Fourth of July?!  (Why Sting?  No clue...just go with it)  Take it down a notch and wear them with a white polo...ooo you know what would be sick?!  Hold on...going rogue here.  Try these electric blue Nike Golf pants with a QED White Eureka Polo for $39.  Boom!
