Whether he’s an avid golfer or just a weekend player or something else in between, Fairway Styles has got you covered with this list. Check it out.
For The Performance Player
Focus: Technical fabrics, athletic fits, and gear designed to shave strokes off the game.
- J.Lindeberg Tour Tech Polo: A staple in the world of high-performance golf apparel. It features moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabric with a technical stretch that won't restrict a high-speed swing. It offers a sharp, athletic fit that looks professional while performing under pressure.
- Nike Air Jordan 1 Low G Golf Shoes: Combines the legendary street style of the Jordan 1 with tour-level traction. This is for the player who wants stability and grip but refuses to wear a stuffy traditional saddle shoe.
- RLX Ralph Lauren Quilted Double-Knit Crewneck: The quilted construction provides warmth without bulk, and the double-knit fabric offers the flexibility needed for cold-weather play without hampering rotation.
For The Fashion-Forward Golfer
Focus: Bold prints, modern cuts, and brands that turn heads on the first tee.
- G/FORE MG4+ Golf Shoes: These shoes are the definition of modern golf fashion. They often feature bold color blocking or camo soles (like the O2 Camo Accent) and provide a chunky, street-style silhouette that is currently trending.
- Field Day Nygren Trousers: Nothing says fashion-forward like pulling off a bold tartan pant. Field Day is a fresher brand, and these trousers offer a unique look that stands out from the sea of solid khaki and navy pants.
- Greyson Clothiers Hoodies: Greyson has normalized the hoodie on the golf course. Their pieces often feature intricate wolf logos or unique art prints, making them a favorite for the golfer who prioritizes a cool, modern aesthetic over tradition.
For The Everyday Golfer
Focus: Comfort, versatility, and reliable gear that works for 18 holes or a casual dinner.
- Johnnie-O Sully 1/4 Zip Pullover: Widely considered the gold standard of casual golf layers, the Sully is incredibly soft, looks appropriate in almost any setting (office, course, dinner), and comes in colors that match everything.
- Ray-Ban RB3663 Sunglasses: A stylish, aviator-inspired metal frame that bridges the gap between sport and street style. The polarized lenses are perfect for cutting glare on the fairways or driving home after the round, while the adjustable nose pads ensure they stay comfortable for all 18 holes.
- Peter Millar Performance Polos: You can't go wrong here. They are known for consistent sizing, high-quality fabrics that don't wrinkle, and classic patterns that ensure he always looks put-together.
The Guy Who Has Everything
Focus: Premium upgrades, luxury accessories, and items he wouldn't buy for himself.
- Vessel Player V Stand Bag: Vessel bags are luxurious, made with premium synthetic leather, and offer a significant upgrade over the standard nylon bags found in most pro shops. It’s a flex item that screams quality.
- Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clogs: While not for playing, these are the ultimate 19th hole luxury. After walking 18 holes, slipping into premium suede Birkenstocks is a treat he likely hasn't thought to buy for himself but will use constantly.
- Bushnell Wingman View GPS Speaker: He might have a speaker, and he might have a GPS, but does he have both in one? This device mounts to the cart bar magnetically, plays music, and displays yardages on a screen. It’s a fun tech toy that adds a new element to his cart game.
For The Techy Golfer
Focus: Data, gadgets, and the latest electronic tools.
- Garmin Approach S44 Watch: Garmin is the leader in golf wearables. These watches provide detailed maps, yardages to hazards, and shot tracking. The techy golfer loves analyzing his stats, and this puts all the data right on his wrist.
- Bushnell Pro X3+ Laser Rangefinder: The Ferrari of rangefinders. It factors in slope, temperature, and barometric pressure to give the most accurate yardage possible. It’s the kind of over-engineered gadget a tech lover obsesses over.
- Garmin Approach R10 Launch Monitor: A portable launch monitor he can take to the range to track his swing speed, ball speed, and spin rates. It turns a boring range session into a data-driven practice lab.
For The Weekend Player
Focus: Fun, relaxation, and lifestyle gear that doesn't take the game too seriously.
- Criquet Collared Sweatshirt: The ultimate cheat code for the casual golfer. It feels exactly like his favorite broken-in hoodie (fleece lining, kangaroo pocket) but features a crisp collar and rugby-style placket. He gets 100% comfort, but the course ranger won't yell at him for a dress code violation..
- Good Good Golf Rope Hat: Give his on-course look a touch of retro flair with a rope hat from the popular Good Good Golf crew. It blends vintage vibes with modern streetwear style, and is an ideal pick for the golfer who wants to keep his style game as sharp as his short game.
- YETI Hopper Coolers: Essential for the weekend warrior who enjoys a cold beverage during the round. A high-quality backpack cooler or small hopper cooler ensures his drinks stay ice-cold from the first tee to the 18th green.
