Golf skirts: length, inner shorts, and when they beat trousers
The golf skirt is the coolest piece in a women's golf wardrobe and the favorite when summer gets hot. Length and inner shorts decide everything.
The length that works
A skirt ending just above the knee gives movement without riding up when you bend over the ball.
Shorter models need inner shorts with real grip, or they twist during the round.
Inner shorts are not a detail
Inner shorts decide the comfort. They should sit firmly without chafing after a four-hour walk.
Pockets in the inner shorts are practical for a ball and tees, check before you buy.
Skirt or shorts?
The skirt is cooler and moves more freely; shorts sit more stable in hard wind.
Many players own both and choose by weather rather than by course.
Skirts in autumn
With warmer socks and a mid layer the skirt works deep into September.
Add a cashmere neckwarmer when it blows, warmth at the neck extends the season more than an extra layer on the legs.
