25 Golf Outfits for Plus Size Women

Max Kuch

Last updated: August 27, 2026

The hardest part of golf for me was never the swing. It was finding trousers that did not roll at the waist by the fourth hole. Extended sizing in golf wear is often the standard pattern scaled up, with the armhole in the wrong place and the waistband too thin to hold anything.

So this list is built around four things I check before I buy anything. A waistband at least five centimetres wide and flat, because a thin one rolls. A real armhole so the shoulder turns freely. Fabric with structure rather than clingy jersey. And a hem that clears wet grass. For the colder half of the season the cold weather outfits use the same rules with more layers, and if a modest cut suits you better, the modest edit is the companion list.

One thing worth saying plainly: the brands that cut properly for this are not always the ones with the biggest logos, and the fit matters more than the label ever will. If you are replacing pieces rather than buying a whole kit, our guide to the best golf apparel is where I would start.

Navy Polo with a Structured White Skort Save

#1: Navy Polo with a Structured White Skort

A navy polo above a structured white skort with a proper inner short. Structure is the whole point: a skort with a real liner stays where you put it through a full swing, and a flimsy one will not.

Black Trousers with a Bright Coral Top Save

#2: Black Trousers with a Bright Coral Top

Wide waistband black trousers under a coral polo. Black trousers are the workhorse most of us already own, and a hot colour on top turns them from office wear into golf wear for the price of one polo.

Beige Trousers with a Striped Polo Save

#3: Beige Trousers with a Striped Polo

Tailored beige trousers with a striped polo. Vertical or diagonal stripes flatter far more than horizontal ones, and beige hides the course better than white does after a morning watering.

Navy Dress with a Fitted Waist Save

#4: Navy Dress with a Fitted Waist

A navy golf dress with a defined waist and built in shorts. One piece, no decisions, nothing to tuck. Check the built in short reaches mid thigh, because the short ones ride and defeat the purpose.

White Polo with Olive Trousers Save

#5: White Polo with Olive Trousers

A crisp white polo with olive trousers. Olive is the neutral that reads as outdoors rather than office, and it hides a grass mark, a scuff and a dusty bunker better than any other colour here.

Long Sleeve Sun Shirt with a Midi Skort Save

#6: Long Sleeve Sun Shirt with a Midi Skort

A long sleeve sun shirt over a longer skort. Sleeves solve the sunscreen problem on the arms entirely, and a longer skort means you are never thinking about the hem when you bend to mark a ball.

Burgundy Polo with Grey Trousers Save

#7: Burgundy Polo with Grey Trousers

A burgundy polo with grey trousers. Burgundy is the colour people ask about, sitting between neutral and statement, and grey underneath keeps it from tipping into formal.

Patterned Skort with a Plain Navy Top Save

#8: Patterned Skort with a Plain Navy Top

A patterned skort with a plain navy polo. Pattern below and quiet above is the more flattering way round, and navy anchors the pastel prints that dominate women's golf wear better than black does.

Quarter Zip over a Sleeveless Base Save

#9: Quarter Zip over a Sleeveless Base

A quarter zip layered over a sleeveless base. The zip is your thermostat: open at the throat as you warm up instead of stopping to change, and strip to the base at the turn.

Mint Green Polo with White Trousers Save

#10: Mint Green Polo with White Trousers

A mint polo with white trousers. Mint has been having a long moment in golf wear and it earns it, because it behaves like a neutral next to white and photographs beautifully in bright light.

Black Sleeveless Top with Printed Trousers Save

#11: Black Sleeveless Top with Printed Trousers

A plain black sleeveless top over printed trousers. Same rule as always: one loud piece, one quiet piece. A strong print below the waist looks deliberate as long as the top stays completely plain.

Grey Marl Polo with Navy Capris Save

#12: Grey Marl Polo with Navy Capris

A heathered grey polo with navy capris. Heathered fabric hides sweat far better than a flat solid colour, which is worth knowing before a long afternoon in July.

Floral Top with Solid Bottoms Save

#13: Floral Top with Solid Bottoms

A floral top over plain bottoms. Choose a print with real scale to it, because tiny repeats read as noise from any distance and lose the effect entirely by the second fairway.

Navy Windbreaker with Black Trousers Save

#14: Navy Windbreaker with Black Trousers

A packable navy windbreaker over black trousers. Wind is what makes an ordinary day cold on an open course, and a shell that folds into its own pocket handles it without any bulk to carry.

Cream Polo with Plaid Trousers Save

#15: Cream Polo with Plaid Trousers

A cream polo over plaid trousers. Plaid belongs on a golf course more than almost anywhere else, but it needs a completely quiet top or the two halves start competing.

Sleeveless Dress with a Light Cardigan Save

#16: Sleeveless Dress with a Light Cardigan

A sleeveless golf dress with a light cardigan over the top. The cardigan turns a summer playing outfit into something you can sit down to lunch in, which no jacket manages half as well.

Royal Blue Polo with White Shorts Save

#17: Royal Blue Polo with White Shorts

A royal blue polo with white shorts. Blue reads sharply against green from a distance, which is why so much tour clothing uses it. Save the white shorts for a dry afternoon course.

All Black with a Statement Belt Save

#18: All Black with a Statement Belt

Black top, black trousers, one strong belt. The most flattering combination here and the one that needs the least thought. The belt is doing all the work, so make it a good one.

Pink Polo with Navy Culottes Save

#19: Pink Polo with Navy Culottes

A pink polo with navy culottes. Culottes are the shape nobody expects on a course: full coverage, plenty of airflow, and a hem that never clings when you crouch to read a line.

Striped Sun Shirt with a Long Skort Save

#20: Striped Sun Shirt with a Long Skort

A striped long sleeve sun shirt over a longer skort. Sun protection and coverage without heat, which is the combination most people assume they cannot have at the same time.

Yellow Top with Grey Trousers Save

#21: Yellow Top with Grey Trousers

A bright yellow top with grey trousers. Yellow is the most visible colour on a course, which is genuinely useful in a fourball, and grey stops it from tipping into fluorescent.

Navy Polo Dress with Leggings Save

#22: Navy Polo Dress with Leggings

A navy polo dress worn over full length leggings. The combination that solves a cool morning and a modest cut at the same time, and it is the easiest outfit here to get right first time.

Teal Polo with Beige Trousers Save

#23: Teal Polo with Beige Trousers

A teal polo above beige trousers. Teal is the colour I would recommend to anyone bored of navy: still a deep, serious shade, but nobody else on the tee will be wearing it.

Layered Look for a Cold Round Save

#24: Layered Look for a Cold Round

Base layer, mid layer and shell, all thin, over trousers. Three light layers beat one heavy one every time, because you will take two off and you want to carry them in one hand.

White Sun Hoodie with Navy Shorts Save

#25: White Sun Hoodie with Navy Shorts

A white sun hoodie with navy shorts. The hood handles the exposed holes, the fabric is thinner than a t shirt, and the shorts keep it from becoming a heat trap. My most worn summer outfit.
