25 Fall Golf Outfits for Women

Max Kuch

Last updated: August 27, 2026

Autumn is the best golf of the year and the hardest to dress for. You leave the house at six degrees, you are warm by the fourth hole, and the wind comes up on the back nine and takes it all back. One garment cannot do that.

The answer is thin layers you can shed without stopping, which in practice means a quarter zip rather than a jumper, a vest rather than a jacket, and a shell that folds into its own pocket. Colour is the other autumn advantage: burgundy, camel, mustard and olive all look better against a course that has turned gold than they ever do in June. The cold weather list takes the same logic into real cold, and the rain edit handles the wet version.

The piece to invest in for autumn is the mid layer, since it does most of the work for the most hours. Our guide to the best golf apparel covers what lasts.

Burgundy Polo with Camel Trousers Save

#1: Burgundy Polo with Camel Trousers

A burgundy polo with camel trousers. This is autumn on a golf course in two colours, and it is the outfit I reach for when the light has gone low and the grass has turned.

Cream Quarter Zip with Olive Trousers Save

#2: Cream Quarter Zip with Olive Trousers

A cream quarter zip over olive trousers. The zip is the autumn thermostat: open at the throat as you warm, closed on an exposed tee, no stopping to change.

Navy Vest over a Striped Long Sleeve Save

#3: Navy Vest over a Striped Long Sleeve

A navy vest over a striped long sleeve. The vest warms the core and leaves the shoulders free, and the stripe means the outfit works when the vest comes off.

Mustard Top with Navy Trousers Save

#4: Mustard Top with Navy Trousers

A mustard top with navy trousers. Mustard is the colour nobody expects on a course, and autumn light is exactly what it was made for.

Olive Sun Shirt with Beige Trousers Save

#5: Olive Sun Shirt with Beige Trousers

An olive long sleeve with beige trousers. Warm neutrals together, and olive is the shade that reads as outdoors rather than office in every light there is.

Grey Fleece with Black Leggings Save

#6: Grey Fleece with Black Leggings

A brushed grey fleece over black leggings. Fleece traps more air per gram than anything else, and leggings are warmer than trousers at the same weight.

Rust Polo with Cream Trousers Save

#7: Rust Polo with Cream Trousers

A rust polo with cream trousers. Rust against cream is the softest autumn pairing here, and it photographs beautifully against a fairway that has started to turn.

Plaid Trousers with a Plain Cream Top Save

#8: Plaid Trousers with a Plain Cream Top

Plaid trousers under a plain cream polo. Autumn is plaid season and plaid is golf's oldest pattern, so the only rule is that the top stays completely silent.

Camel Cardigan over a Navy Base Save

#9: Camel Cardigan over a Navy Base

A camel cardigan over a navy long sleeve. Cardigans beat jumpers on a course for one reason: you can take one off without pulling it over a visor.

Forest Green Quarter Zip with Grey Trousers Save

#10: Forest Green Quarter Zip with Grey Trousers

A forest green quarter zip with grey trousers. Deep green is the most underused colour in golf wear, and it is at its best under a low autumn sun.

Navy Windbreaker with Camel Trousers Save

#11: Navy Windbreaker with Camel Trousers

A packable navy shell over camel trousers. Autumn wind is what turns a pleasant round cold, and a shell that folds into a pocket handles it without any bulk.

Cream Sweater with Navy Trousers Save

#12: Cream Sweater with Navy Trousers

A fine gauge cream sweater over navy trousers. Fine gauge rather than chunky, because a thick knit binds across the back at the top of the swing every single time.

Burgundy Vest over a White Polo Save

#13: Burgundy Vest over a White Polo

A burgundy vest over a white polo. The white collar showing above the vest is what keeps this club appropriate and what makes it look considered rather than thrown on.

Charcoal Trousers with a Rust Sun Shirt Save

#14: Charcoal Trousers with a Rust Sun Shirt

Charcoal trousers with a rust long sleeve. Cool grey below and warm rust above, and the contrast is what stops an autumn outfit from turning into one brown block.

Thermal Skort with Opaque Tights Save

#15: Thermal Skort with Opaque Tights

A thermal lined skort over opaque tights. This is how you keep wearing the skort you like into November, and two layers on the thigh beats one trouser.

Camel and Cream Tonal Layers Save

#16: Camel and Cream Tonal Layers

Camel trousers, cream base, camel mid layer. Tonal layering means whatever comes off never clashes with what stays on, which matters by the fourth hole.

Navy Polo with Rust Trousers Save

#17: Navy Polo with Rust Trousers

A navy polo with rust trousers. Colour below the waist is rarer than colour above it, and rust is the autumn shade that carries a full trouser best.

Grey Marl Quarter Zip with Black Trousers Save

#18: Grey Marl Quarter Zip with Black Trousers

A heathered grey quarter zip over black trousers. The most neutral outfit here, and the one that works whatever the sky decides to do between the first and the ninth.

Cream Sun Hoodie with Olive Trousers Save

#19: Cream Sun Hoodie with Olive Trousers

A cream sun hoodie with olive trousers. Autumn sun is low and hits the face directly, which is when a hood earns its place more than in midsummer.

Tartan Skort with a Navy Long Sleeve Save

#20: Tartan Skort with a Navy Long Sleeve

A tartan skort with a navy long sleeve and tights. The most seasonal outfit here, and the one that looks most like it belongs on a Scottish course in October.

Quilted Vest with Straight Leg Trousers Save

#21: Quilted Vest with Straight Leg Trousers

A light quilted vest over straight leg trousers. Quilting adds warmth without bulk at the shoulder, which is the compromise every autumn golf layer is trying to make.

Chocolate Brown Polo with Cream Trousers Save

#22: Chocolate Brown Polo with Cream Trousers

A chocolate brown polo with cream trousers. Brown has come back into golf wear after twenty years away, and it looks better in autumn than any navy ever will.

Layered Neutrals with a Beanie Save

#23: Layered Neutrals with a Beanie

Base, mid layer, shell and a beanie, all neutral. A quarter of your heat leaves through your head, and a hat is the lightest thing in the bag.

Sage Quarter Zip with Camel Trousers Save

#24: Sage Quarter Zip with Camel Trousers

A sage quarter zip with camel trousers. Muted green and warm tan is the quietest combination on this list and probably the most elegant one.

Full Autumn Kit in Burgundy and Camel Save

#25: Full Autumn Kit in Burgundy and Camel

Burgundy base, camel mid, burgundy shell. One colour story across every layer, so nothing has to be decided at seven in the morning when it is still dark.
