At A. PUTNAM, we believe that understanding the history of women's golf attire is essential to designing modern, functional ensembles. Let's explore how women's golf fashion has transformed over the years.
From Impractical to Innovative
In the late 19th century, women's golf attire was far from suitable for the sport. Victorian ladies attempted to play while wearing crinolines, bustles, and multiple petticoats. These restrictive garments significantly hindered movement and affected their ability to play effectively.
The 1920s: A Shift Towards Comfort
The 1920s marked a turning point in golf fashion. Restrictive corsets gave way to more forgiving undergarments. Women began wearing matching two-piece dresses with straight or pleated skirts, often complemented by cardigans or vests. However, hemlines remained below the knee, still limiting mobility on the course.
A Revolutionary Change
The 1960s introduced a game-changing garment: the skort. This innovative piece combined the classic appearance of a skirt with the functionality of shorts, allowing women golfers to move freely without compromising style. It marked a significant advancement in golf fashion.
Contemporary Golf Attire
Today, women's golf attire perfectly balances style and functionality. At A. PUTNAM, we're proud to be at the forefront of this evolution. Our collections feature:
