Davis Love III is One of the Best Dressed Golfers on the PGA

Davis-Love-PGA-fashion-tipsWhen it comes to spotting well-dressed Golfers in the PGA sphere, you can rest easy knowing that doing so doesn’t have to be difficult. After all, some of the best-dressed athletes in the world happen to be PGA golfers, most of whom make it a point to look their best each time they walk onto the golf course. PGA golfers tend to embrace a casual style, although it’s important to realize that this doesn’t mean they take a sloppy approach to their look. Davis Love III is a perfect example of someone who embraces a casual appearance while retaining the All-American sophistication that was first introduced to the sport decades ago. His casual yet elegant wardrobe choices earned Love a number three spot on our Best Dressed Golfer list. If you’re a fan of Love’s style, you should know that incorporating elements of it into your own look doesn’t have to be difficult. Consider all of the following characteristics to help point your fashion sense in the correct direction.

Stick With Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is one of the most well-known designers of the past century, so it should come as no surprise that athletes and style conscious men from all over the world tend to wear his pieces. Davis Love III wears RL clothing religiously, and the label has a lot to do with his overall look. Wearing Ralph Lauren doesn’t have to cost a fortune, as many pieces (Polos, for example) can be found at thrift stores for a fraction of the price of what they might cost new. For best results, strive to purchase at least a few Ralph Lauren polos in contrasting colors in order to create a more versatile wardrobe. Our tip: pick out a few pastel colored polos for this spring and summer season. Also, stick to the ones with smaller embroidered logo as the oversized ones make you look like you are trying a bit too hard to impress.

Horizontal Stripes are Crucial
If Love’s style is known for anything, it’s his penchant for wearing horizontal stripes. While it’s certainly not uncommon for golfers to embrace such a look, Davis Love does so in a way that many other guys wish they could pull off. He prefers thin stripes to those which are thick, and often strives to find shirts that feature colors that are bold without being “too much.” This is a classic part of the All-American golfer look, and is more than worth trying to implement into your own style, regardless of whether or not you golf. On a final note: Keep in mind that horizontal stripes can create the illusion of a few extra pounds. Thus, we suggest that slightly heavier built men should avoid this pattern.

Don’t Fear the Sweater Vest
For one reason or another, a lot of guys simply have an inherent fear of the sweater vest. Indeed, sweater vests can be relatively unattractive when not worn correctly, but this isn’t to say that they don’t have a place in mens’ fashion. Davis Love III pulls off the sweater vest in ways that a lot of people simply cannot, and has all but dialed in the look completely. Generally, Love pairs neutral-colored sweater vests with bolder long-sleeved shirts, which typically results in a nice, balanced contrast that makes for one of most attractive looks that one could ask for on the golf course. A word of advice, however; keep your sweater vests dark in color. Light-colored vests may seem perfect for spring and summer, but they often cause a disconnect and can result in a relatively bland ensemble.
