Golf and Tennis Skorts: A Style Guide

Whether you’re looking for comfortable, functional golf outfits that have a hint of personal style, or you’re opting to wear your golf and tennis clothes in an athleisure style, we’re here to help. Girls athletic skorts are not only great for golf and tennis, but they’re simple and stylish enough to wear to school, practice, and other events or daily activities. So wherever your day takes you, you’ll be sure to be comfortable and confident in the durability and functionality of these outfits.

First and foremost, a girls golf skort should be the appropriate fit and fabric for your child. When it comes to fit, your golf skort should not be too loose or baggy, and definitely not too tight. We want a full  range of movement to be possible, especially when used in sport, so be sure to refer to a size guide. Turtles and Tees’ golf skorts are hemmed at the perfect length - they hit mid thigh to low thigh, meaning they won’t be too long to hinder movement.

When it comes to fabric, moisture wicking and breathable materials will be your best friend, especially when golfing in the summer. Opt for polyester, spandex, or a poly/spandex blend. Additional benefits could be things like sun protection and anti microbial qualities.

Here comes the fun part! Girls golf skorts come in so many colors. Here are a few ways you can style them:

For a blue skort with a textured pattern, you could go a few ways. First, you could contrast the bright or fun colored pattern you have on with a solid white girls polo. To tone it down, wearing navy blue or black girls zip ups will keep you warm and make the outfit a little less bright for those who desire that look. To tie it all together, have mom match you for the perfect mommy and me outfit:

Alternatively, pairing a pink skort with a matching pink polo brings a hint of uniform to the outfit. For a cohesive look, pair these items together with a white cap and a pair of white golf shoes.

If you’re looking for more neutral tones and solid prints, styling those will be a breeze. Whether you’re heading to a tennis match or to the course, sometimes a common yet bold color will be your best option. Toned down hues are less distracting, and oftentimes easier to match with other colors (but usually aren’t as fun and spunky in the way I love!). A pale blue and white skort with a simple pattern can be paired with just about any color top and shoes, although having some matching colors within will help bring the outfit to a more polished state. Take a look at this sleeveless blue polo paired with a lovely light blue and white patterned golf skort: 

Dark skorts are fun! With many uniforms being limited to common colors like navy blue, gray, white, and other simple ones; finding a unique golf skort to give your outfit a bit of personality is a great way to find more confidence and comfort in the game. Take a look at this outfit, where we styled a pastel purple, ruffled skort with pink patterned prints with a light purple sleeveless polo shirt. Alternatively, you could wear this skort with a girls pink quarter zip on chilly mornings, or layer it right over a polo. The long sleeve polo shirt matches the print on the skort, bringing the whole look together and creating balance. For shoes, a classic white pair would look dashing! 

The key to crafting an outfit with a skort is the find the perfect fit, and the perfect color to match your personality (and occasionally attire guidelines and requirements). From there, finding tops, shoes, and outerwear to layer over and pair with your golf skort is a breeze. Just find a golf polo - sleeveless or cap sleeve, in a color that matches part of the pattern on your skort, or alternatively a solid colored white polo will go with just about any outfit. And of course, if skorts aren't your girls' favorite - opt for something like girls golf pants or shorts paired with a polo, or even a classic girls golf dress. Comfort is key, afterall!
