There have been many fashion trends in sports over the past few centuries. The changes from 1900 to 2000 were probably the most pronounced, from ridiculous basketball booty shorts to flirtatious tennis skirts. Most sports have only improved their active ensembles, and any female sportswear section will show you how important fashion is on the playing field. Women's sportswear has changed significantly from fashionable and uncomfortable, to comfortable and unattractive and has now found its niche combining comfort and fashion.

The biggest outlier in this fashion progress is most certainly the sport of-you guessed it-golf. Argyle, Plaid, and brightly colored polo shirts have certainly cornered the market in golf attire, but they have also cornered themselves on the outside of the fashion industry.

First of all, no one should ever wear those three trends at the same time. Argyle and plaid do not match, no matter what, and throwing a pastel purple shirt into the mix does irreversible damage to the ensemble! We understand that muted colors rarely find a place on the gold course, but just because argyle is accepted, do not think that a rainbow of bright patches on an argyle sweater is fashion-forward.

Plaid has been accepted as a fashionable patter on the gold course, and the country club, and even in general fashion. There are some plaid styles that will (hopefully) never be okay. If your plaid pants have more than 3 bright colors, you are probably in bad shape. Women are a little luckier in this area because they can wear shorter skirts and shorts, which means less surface area for the plaid, and is therefore more okay.

Brightly colored polo shirts and shorts have certainly found their way onto the golf course, and it doesn't appear that they are leaving any time soon. The only thing to really remember with a solid, brightly colored article of clothing is to leave it at that. Too often people will match an orange polo with and even brighter orange visor, and then perhaps some colorful shorts or pants with orange designs. This may technically match, but you will also look like you just escaped from James and the Giant Peach, or perhaps got in a pumpkin flinging contest, and you definitely lost. Keep it simple and keep it classy.
