Designers who are thinking outside of the tee box.

{ Shi Golf Zip Up Sweater Jacket }
Golf clothes don’t have to be loud or boyish or pink. As Seema Sadekar of the LPGA’s Futures Tour points out, golf clothes don’t even have to have pockets. “Your ball marker is on your hat, and your tees can go in your hair,” says the former Big Break glitter girl. “Who needs pockets to ruin your nice, sleek lines?”

Sadekar shops the racks in her favorite stores and turns high fashion into golf fashion. You can do that too, or you might want to investigate some of the newer players in the “golf apparel” market. Here are four who are aiming for the woman who wants her golf clothes to move with her – not only as she moves around the course, but beyond.

Grace & Game Golf
As an attorney in Washington state, Jessica Eaves Mathews saw her share of women wearing what she calls “mini-man” outfits. Then she took up golf, and, how about that, more mini-men! Her Grace & Game Golf markets feminine, fitted, multi-tasking clothes – V-neck tops with a ruffle, or a ruffled cap sleeve, gathers in unexpected places, fitted bottoms and cardigans, and fabrics such as organic cotton, silk and even some leather.  Tops start at around $75. Sizes 0-12 and XS-XL, GraceAndGame.com

MiC Sport
Designer Melba Lee’s descriptions of MiC (the “i” is a golf tee) make frequent use of the word “sexy,” and LPGA Tour player Paige Mackenzie makes her clothes look great. This is a line for the fit woman, or the young woman; skirts and skorts are short, pants and capris are form-fitting and low-rising, and shirts might reveal a bit more than expected at the top or bottom. Shirts start at about $120, and the embroidered drop yoke skirt, in cotton with 3 percent spandex, is listed at $160. Sizes 0-14 and XS-XL, MicSport.com.

Shi Golf
A golf dress? Why not! No hunting for the top that goes with the bottom, no worries about a midriff exposed on the backswing, no need for a belt. And that soft, stretchy cotton that moves so well with the golf swing moves just fine on to dinner. Now if only Shi Golf would design some golf dress shoes to complete the outfit.  Kelly Su used to mix golf pieces with her favorite ready-to-wear finds; when too many friends said, “I wish I could find golf outfits like that,” she started designing a line that includes wrap tops and flouncy skirts, with plenty of every woman’s favorite color, black. Dresses are in the $100 ballpark. Sizes XS-XL and 0-10, Shi-Golf.com

Toby Tucker Golf
Toby Tucker Peters played on the men’s golf team in college and kept playing as she established her career as a fashion magazine editor. So it’s not surprising that her collection of golf clothes – all clearly made to be worn for various activities – screams out “Runway!” Inspired by whatever’s hot this season in New York, Paris and Milan, Toby Tucker ranges from the “Sand Wedge Wide-Leg” pant in navy palm graphic print ($300) to culottes, a “Putting Skirt,” and a water resistant anorak. Sizes 2-12, TobyTuckerGolf.com.

It's a fact: you will be 30% warmer if you wear a hat.

{Wallaroo Miranda Knit Hat at Golf4Her }
Reminiscent of the iconic newsboy hat, this updated chunky chic knit from Wallaroo is fleece lined for optimum warmth and comfort. Perfect for chill days on and off the golf course.

With its sweater-like weave and large button accents, the Miranda Knit Hat represents casual style and a youthful spirit. An oversized crown allows for the sides to be pulled down over the ears, warding off winter's chill.

Features:
- Large button accents
- Oversized crown
- 2" brim
- Internal drawstring for a custom fit
- UPF 50+
- 100% acrylic and 100% fleece lining
- Fits up to a 7 1/4 hat size (22 5/8", 58cm)
- Available in Black, Ivory and Brown

Wallroo Hats like the Miranda hat is tested by the Australian Radiation Protection Agency and block 97.5% of the sun's ultroviolet rays. Ultraviolet radiation, or UV, is present in sunlight. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) shows how well a fabric protects your skin from solar UV. But remember, a Wallaroo hat only protects the skin it covers. Safeguard the rest of your body by wearing sunglasses and sunscreen.

A chic and fashionable alternative to the traditional ball cap. Not to mention, a lot warmer and safer for your health.

How to Wear Orange: An Energetic and Creative Combo

{ Look 1: Orange with Black }

Unless you're Rickie Fowler on Sunday or  Auburn University Alumni, wearing Orange can be as scary as Halloween. Let's face it, the first thing you ask when you put on something orange is "do I look like a pumpkin?"  If you do it wrong, the answer is probably yes. But orange done right can be a fantastic fashion statement. 

Orange is a very high energy color. Its creativity juices are extremely intoxicating and sweet tasting. Wearing orange is fun and can make you feel quite playful. Artists love dabbling with orange hues.

{ Look 2: Orange with Silver }
Orange screams with sexual energy too, not surprising since orange is associated with the sacral chakra. Because of its highly-charged intensity some people cannot comfortably wear this color. If you're still scared of it, try adorning yourself with orange accent pieces like a tote bag or watch that can add a hint of playfulness.

Here are some tips on how to wear orange without looking like a Jack-o'-lantern.

Look 1: Orange with Black
1. Loudmouth Golf Pants - Orange/Black
2. Blingo Ballmarker - Orange Crystal
3. 4all by jofit Thumbs Up Jacket - Black
4. Loudmouth Golf Belt - White

Look 2: Orange with Silver
1.FILA Geneva Golf Polo - Atomic Orange 
2.FILA Stockholm Knit Sweater- White/Silver
3.FILA Malaga Golf Skort - Silver/Atomic Orange
4. FILA Ladies Golf Glove

{ Look 3: Orange with Navy }
Look 3: Orange with Navy
1. LIJA Myth Lasting Polo - Flame
2. 4all by jofit Thumbs Up Jacket - Navy
3. 4all by jofit Side Pocket Skort - Navy
4. Ame & Lulu Portfolio Bag - Citrus

Wearing orange urges you to get out into the world and create something grand, or maybe in our case, just make more birdies.

Go Purple. Stop Bullying.

{ our outfits for Spirit Day 2011 }
Purple is more than our favorite color, it's the color of Spirit Day.

Millions of Americans wear purple on Spirit Day as a sign of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth and to speak out against bullying.

Spirit Day was started in 2010 by teenager Brittany McMillan as a response to the young people who had taken their own lives. Observed annually on October 20, individuals, schools, organizations, corporations, media professionals and celebrities wear purple, which symbolizes spirit on the rainbow flag.

Getting involved is easy -- participants are asked to simply "go purple" on October 20 as we work to create a world in which LGBT teens are celebrated and accepted for who they are.

Learn more at: http://www.glaad.org/spiritday 

We hope you'll join us.
