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 pink skort with a textured pattern, you could go a few ways. First, you could contrast the bright pink 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 want that.

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 neutral 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 pink 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: 

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 navy blue skort with pink golf patterned prints with a light pink 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 white and navy blue 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.
