Fall Outfits for Men That Get Your Golf Polos Out of the Closet
It’s getting closer and closer to what some call “the most wonderful time of the year.” But with changing weather, that’s not necessarily true for your golf polos. Even in the mildest climates, these polos see less action throughout the fall and winter. You find yourself wanting to wear them, but cooler temperatures make a collared shirt a more practical choice.
What if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could wear your favorite golf polos throughout the fall and into winter? There are plenty of family gatherings, eventful weekends, and workdays in the office for you to embrace the rise of the seasonally-styled golf polo. No matter what you have planned this season, here’s how to make your favorite moisture-wicking golf polos the guest star your wardrobe didn’t know it needed.
Your Cold-Weather Golfing Look
True winter will be here before you know it, complete with its cold temperatures and unpredictable weather. For now, there are still plenty of opportunities to hit the links this fall. Whether you’re playing nine holes on the weekend or heading out of the office a bit early for a trip to the driving range, get out there and enjoy the crisp fall air.
Your key to success? Layers. On a warm fall afternoon, you might only need to wear a vest over your golf polo. This lets you enjoy full range of motion while keeping wind at bay and your core warm. Plus, if you choose to walk the course instead of riding in a golf cart, you’ll keep your blood pumping and your muscles loose.
If the sky is overcast or you have an early tee time and chilly temperatures to contend with, wear a flexible quarter zip over your golf polo. You get all the style points, maximum comfort, and top-tier performance. When you don’t want to let a chance of inclement weather or windy conditions hold you back, add a waterproof and wind-resistant layer to keep the elements out.
Versatility is the name of the game for your cold-weather golfing look. Start with one of your trusty golf polos, and layer up from there. It really is that simple—better to let you focus on dialing in your swing anyway.
A Classic Day-Off Outfit
Throughout the fall—and especially during the upcoming holiday season—you might get to enjoy more time off. Whether you’re getting the couch set up for a movie marathon, making dinner for the family, or finally hanging up the pictures your partner framed, you still want to look good and stay comfortable, even at home.
Golf polos are a great shirt for a day around the house. If you aren’t planning to go anywhere, you should still feel comfortable. You don’t have to layer anything over your golf polo at home either—just keep the house at a comfortable temperature.
Pair your favorite breathable polo with tapered joggers made with performance fabric. Choose a pair with belt loops and a functional fly for style that goes together seamlessly. It’s an outfit that’s perfect for kicking your feet up for a Sunday of football or checking a couple items off your to-do list.
If you do have to go out to run an errand or pick up the take-out you ordered, you won’t have to waste any of your precious time off deciding what to wear. You’re already wearing it. Just grab a light layer, and you’re ready to walk right out the door.
A Fit for Dinner with the Family
If you don’t have regularly scheduled family dinners, the fall can be a great time to squeeze a few in. Whether you’re meeting up with your parents at a nice restaurant in town or popping over to a sibling’s house so your kids can spend time with their cousins, you want a look that can do it all.
The golf polo and quarter zip combo is perfect for a family dinner. A heathered quarter zip is polished and stylish. It’s an excellent way to look like you put a lot of thought into your outfit, even if you didn’t. Golf polos are the perfect option to wear underneath a stylish layer so you don’t have to worry about overheating.
Finish off this classic family dinner look with slim-fit pants that have a functional fly and built-in stretch. Whether you’re serving up plates for your little ones, rolling up your sleeves to wash some dishes, or cracking open a drink for some post-dinner conversation, you’ll be ready for anything.
A Layered Holiday Party Look
The holidays will be here before you know it. For the fall holiday gatherings on your calendar, your goal is to look great without feeling stuffy. You want a party fit that’s approachable and stylish. It should be something a little different than the everyday styles you wear to the office but still just as comfortable.
Wear a golf polo under a crewneck sweater to achieve a great holiday party look. Avoid getting too warm or the feeling of wearing too many layers with a short-sleeved polo instead of a standard mens collared shirt.
Collared shirts are great on their own, but you want to match the holiday vibes with something a little different. To combine a collared look with a layer that makes a statement and still prioritizes maximum comfort, reach for your golf polo and crewneck sweater.
Finish off the look with straight-fit pants and a pair of nice shoes. Thanks to your golf polo, you get to embrace the coziness of your crewneck sweater without getting too warm and feeling like you want to take it off. That means you’ll look as festive as possible in every photo opportunity throughout the night.
Your Go-To Casual Office Ensemble
It might be the holiday season, but closing out Q4 on the right note means you’ve got to spend some time in the office. Create a look that shows you’re feeling laid-back but are still focused on getting things done and won’t let the festivities distract you.
That means no antler headbands. Okay, maybe at the company holiday party.
Day to day, though, you’ll still want some high-quality, comfortable office essentials. Update them for the season with a seasonal touch. Wear a straightforward, single-tone golf polo with pants featuring vertical pockets, stretch, and moisture-wicking materials.
Best of all, this is a year-round office look. Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you’ll be cold at your desk. And if your office keeps the heat cranked up to eleven, a golf polo keeps you comfortable and stylish.
Your cold-weather detail for most days will be a layer, like a water-resistant car coat, which you’ll wear on your way into the office. On super cold days, add an extra layer in between. Your options include quarter zips, a navy blue blazer, crewneck sweaters, and vests.
Accessories like a scarf, gloves, and a hat also come in handy for your commute. Swapping out your usual shoes for a pair of boots is another great style choice for late fall and early winter, especially if there’s a chance of rain or snow.
The bottom line: Don’t leave your golf polos in the back of your closet until spring. There are plenty of easy ways to incorporate them into your fall wardrobe. Get creative, and experiment with different looks. You might just discover a new one you love.
