We recently documented the rise in popularity of golf as a sport and its influence on the cultural zeitgeist. It certainly passes the eye test when you see superstars outside of the game releasing golf clothing collections – see Drake’s NOCTA x Nike Golf collection – however, it goes a lot deeper than just polos and windbreakers.

Here is a list of the best golf clothing brands to pick up before you tee off next time.

Founded by French tennis legend René Lacoste, four-time international champion and the world’s best player in 1926-1927, the Lacoste brand draws inspiration from sporting values of high standards, fair play and daring style to bring us the best golf clothes for men. Pieces to look out for include the classic Zippered Collar Piqué Golf Polo, Printed Golf Sweatshirt, and Spirit Edition Foldable Raincoat.

Fashion meets function at Uniqlo and there’s a reason you’ll find the team here at Man of Many wearing this brand on a daily. Over the last few years, Uniqlo has embarked on its sports journey, finding its way onto the backs of famous athletes in tennis and golf by offering the best in each discipline. Doing what it does best, Uniqlo sticks to the basics while offering quality textiles, good cuts, and value for money. The perfect brand for the player that doesn’t want to overthink the whole wardrobe process.

We haven’t heard much in the way of music from Macklemore in the last few years and that’s for good reason – the thrift shopper and rapper has transitioned his love of golf into a collection of some of the best golf apparel money can buy under the name ‘Bogey Boys’.

Of course, no list of the best golf clothing brands is complete without iconic brands such as Adidas golf. They’ve been a leader of the pack in the golf fashion race for a long time and it starts with their footwear, a healthy selection of golf shoes (of both the traditional and modern variety) alongside a range of premium polos, sweaters, shorts, and pants.

When it comes to golf wear, Hugo Boss is a BOSS indeed, and a surprisingly diverse one at that. Choose amongst a broad selection of styles with everything from your classic golf polo shirt cut to a defined fit in cotton-blend piqué with plenty of built-in stretch to your more contemporary down-filled gilet, a take on a puffer vest cut to a regular fit and filled with sustainably sourced duck down and feather.

With more than seven locations globally Castore is a British sports brand that self-proclaims to be the “world’s first truly premium sports brand”. It goes without saying then that this bold claim would place them as one of the best golf clothing brands for men. When looking at the lineup, they’re not far from the truth either with a host of quality options including the Keane Polo, aka the “most advanced polo in the world”.

The wrinkle-resistant dress pants from this New York-based label are the stuff of legend and its golf wear easily follows suit. While almost every brand on this list claims to be the king of the polo shirt, only a few stack up and Bonobos is one of them. Offering everything from your classic block-coloured bangers to your striped style go-to you can shop amongst various styles until something catches your eye…and we promise it will.

Another activewear brand of considerable quality, Lululemon has high-end fitness apparel on lock. You’ve heard the name before and there’s a good chance you already have some pieces in your wardrobe, so why not take advantage of the cool colours and technical fabrics that result in a slew of next-level golf shirts, hats, socks, pants, and accessories. You can’t miss these men’s golf clothes.

Bogner came to the front of Golfwear headlines when Bernhard Langer helped showcase the collection at the Schwab cup in Arizona. While his opponents were left to play the tournament in Phoenix in peace, Langer completed a modelling job on the side. He wore a different outfit for each day of the tournament – there aren’t many top sportsmen who’d agree to that under competition conditions. Helping revolutionise style on the golf course.

Descending from a long line of golfers, we love Linksoul as the brand has a strong focus on being more than just a clothing company. Linksoul believes in creating products they value, for people they love, and for the community. Putting their actions into words, the label recently fought to save a local golf course, Goat Hill Park, and spent the last two years refurbishing it as a model for natural, accessible public golf courses across the country. Favourites in the collection for us include the tour logo boardwalker half-zip windbreaker, drifter shorts, and sanbar stripe shirt jacket.

After all these years, Calvin Klein still manages to keep up with or even outpace modern trends and its list of men’s golf attire is no exception. Stylish, lightweight, breathable, and bursting with quality, it will make you an instant convert.

Bridging the gap between old and new, G/FORE infuses classic aesthetics with strikingly modern materials. The brand’s golf pants might change your game, as will a pair of its signature shoes.

One of the best golf apparel brands comes to us from Diesel’s former head of marketing, aka Mr. J Lindeberg. Drawing from Swedish culture, Lindberg dispenses with his own unique template of high-performance style.

Looking for another men’s golf apparel brand of luxurious allure? You’ve found one right here. Prepare to turn heads out there on the green; just make sure your golf skills can keep up.

What do you get when an Olympic ski champion and Swiss entrepreneur team up to make activewear? One of the best skiwear and golf clothing brands in the world, naturally. With an emphasis on freedom of movement, these luxurious shirts and pants will do absolute wonders for your swing.

Hailing from right here in Australia, this clever golf apparel brand takes inspiration from the rarest of accomplishments: a hole-in-one on a par five (aka a condor). The label’s background in surf and music lends each garment an Aussie edge and there’s nothing not to love about that.

If the best golf shoes and apparel were to go by any other name, that name might very well be the FJ 1958 Collection. This is the timeless art of golf wear executed to perfection, over and over again.

Covering all their bases, Ralph Lauren offers two separate ranges of popular golf apparel. For all the traditional swingers out there, Polo Golf has just what you crave. Meanwhile, RLX Ralph Lauren steps outside the box and emanates a youthful spirit. If nothing else, this is one of the best golf shirt brands in the world…not that we’re suggesting you stop there.

A game-changing brand if there ever was one, Under Armour raised the ante on innovative fabrics and modern designs. That the brand brings the same tier of exceptionalism into the golf arena basically goes without saying.

Clean, classic, and quietly groundbreaking, Dunning golf wear delivers high performance at an affordable price. Don’t be fooled by the purposefully minimalist vibe: this is easily one of the best golf shirt brands, amongst other things.

One of the biggest golf clothing brands of all time, Nike is a perennial front-runner that refuses to rest on its ubiquitous laurels. If it’s good enough for Tiger Woods, it’s good enough for you.

Classic colours meet quality fabrics at this UK-based brand, which manages to stay fresh in spite of its ancient origins. No matter what you’re looking for in golf wear, you’ll find it here.

Former NCAA All-American and professional golfer Travis Johnson played at courses around the world before launching this stellar sportswear brand. Matte Grey is the menswear division and it’s become a fixture at swanky country clubs and on PGA tours alike. Johnson is also the founder of TravisMathew, which he sold in 2017.

Striking a perfect balance between work and play, this top golf clothing brand captures the essence of Southern California style. Despite the laid-back vibe, TravisMathew still plays to win and so should you.

Breaking the Yips champions the average golfer who loves swinging a club no matter the result. Perfect for players that enjoy having a laugh on the links, their catalogue includes a range of hilariously-themed apparel and accessories. Whether you’re shanking them off the tee or missing gimme putts, this brand’s collection will keep you in good spirits for a full 18 holes.
