Halloween may still be weeks away, but if you’re like me, the winter holidays are already top of mind. As crazy as it seems to be thinking of gifts so early, I know I can’t be alone here, because I’ve already received two holiday toy catalogs in the mail. Life comes at you fast!
I’m definitely a fan of early shopping, though. And honing in on your favorite items ahead of the holiday rush can help you price-track over the next couple of months to ensure you’re getting the best possible deals.
That’s why, in the lead up to the holiday season, the GOLF staff is aiming to provide you with some gift-giving inspiration by delivering personally-curated lists of products that made an impact of us this year. The items we will showcase over the coming weeks truly impressed us when we wore or tried them out ourselves — and we’re confident they’ll do the same for you!
To get the shopping party started, I’m kicking things off with my own list of favorites below. Some items are golfy, some lifestyle-inspired, all are fabulous. Happy browsing, and cheers to a festive holiday gifting season ahead.
My 7 favorite products of the year
TravisMathew dress and jacket
I received this dress-and-jacket combo as a gift, and I just can’t say enough good things about them. To me, these two pieces are exactly what multi-functional golf apparel should aspire to be: perfectly appropriate for wear on the course, but with a cut and style that make for a seamless transition anywhere.
The golf dress is notoriously hard to get right, and this one is my favorite I’ve ever worn. It’s super comfortable, snug-fitting (and waist-cinching!) in all the right places. The length is sporty, without being too short. And the feel is superb. A 10/10! Plus, the jacket so lightweight, I even wore it on a 90-degree day, just for sun protection.
TravisMathew Moveknit Sleeveless Polo Dress 2.0
With a polo neckline and built in shorties, you can high step and ninja kick your way into your best score or fastest grocery run yet.
TravisMathew Travel Day Tech Woven Jacket
Think of this full-zip, lightweight stretch Tech Woven jacket the same way you would your go-to best friend.
Johnnie-O skirt
Finding a golf skirt that fits just right is a tough ask — especially for someone with a short frame like me. Length is a delicate balance — an inch too long looks frumpy, too short just feels wrong once you turn a certain age. Finding that perfect middle ground feels like a victory, and this Johnnie-O skirt wins the prize. I’m a fan of many pieces in their newly-launched women’s collection, but this skirt became a fast favorite. It is so flattering, with comfy, snug and stretchy fit, front pleat and fun contrast undershorts.
