New Trends For The Athletic Shirt In Golf

Everyone is talking about leisure wear, and the golf world is no exception either. Athleisure shirts are meant to function as a cross between athletic wear and casual wear and thus are suitable for use by golfers. Since most clubs require a collared shirt to be worn when playing golf many pro shops have started to carry athletic tees in other departments such as for tennis or a fitness studio.

Regardless of whether you are taking part in a head-to-head battle playing a round of pickleball, practicing at the driving range, or enjoying a quiet drink at the players’ luncheon, an athleisure tee can perfectly blend style and comfort

Features that Define Athleisure Shirts

Athleisure shirts blend high-quality fabric to elevate appearance. These shirts are not a normal gym tee. Style and comfort are both considered when looking for an elevated athleisure tee. They should be dressy enough that you can wear them for an evening out on the town but with sporty elements that cross over to gym wear.

1. Superior Comfort

Athleisure tee should allow the wearers to wear them comfortably all day long. Because they are soft to the touch and well-shaped, they do not cause chafing, itchiness, or feel uncomfortable. Every tee is different but you might consider finding a tee that has additional properties such as being moisture-wicking, anti-wrinkle, odor-resistant, and more.

2. Enhanced Range of Motion

Having freedom of movement is inherently what you want from your tee. Some athleisure shirts contain an underarm gusset, making the wearer very flexible to move in any direction. This flexibility helps to reduce resistance and improve the wearer's mobility. 

An example of an underarm gusset tee is our Delray Zero Restrictions Mineral Wash Tee. A dressy yet functional athleisure tee. Our ultra-soft Delray Tee is crafted from a blend of 52% cotton for a luxurious feel and 48% polyester for enhanced performance. The mineral wash adds extra softness and creates a subtle marbled finish, giving the shirt a refined, unique look.

3. Moisture uptake and release performance

Exposure to sunlight means one has to sweat and drench in perspiration, but some athleisure shirts are designed to minimize sweat with moisture control technology. It pulls sweat away from your skin and allows for fast evaporation, thereby effectively cooling and drying the body.

4. Weather Versatility

Golfers and athletes play in different weather conditions: morning sun, chilly afternoons, and cold, windy evenings. There is always so much fabric innovation, and many athleisure shirts have UV protection. Just look for these properties on the hangtags of the garments. 

Features To Look At When Choosing An Athleisure Golf Shirt

If you plan to purchase an athleisure shirt, here are some key features to consider:

1. High-Performance Fabrics

For a comfortable fit, look for fabrics that blend polyester, bamboo, cotton, spandex, and other moisture-control fibers are used. They make these fabrics allow breathability and stretch, as well as enhance their durability.

2. Tailored Fit

When wearing it in the proper size, the shirt improves performance as well as looks great on the body. With over 36+ years of experience measuring and designing thousands of bespoke garments, the founders of Jaxson Maximus analyze all body types to create the perfect fit that is not too loose and not too tight on the skin.

3. UV Protection

In the sun it means you will be exposed to extremely dangerous UV radiation. Some athleisure shirts have UPF or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, so you’re protected while playing outside.

Most shirts are often designed with UPF, a shade of protection against unfavorable rays while out in the field. Tees will start with a UPF rating factor of 25+ by default. You can always look at the tags to see if the garments have been treated for a higher UPF rating. 

4. Anti-Odor Technology

The use of anti-odor treatment ensures that the players remain fresh from the field as well as the field remains fresh when playing the next game. This particular feature is quite helpful, especially to those who have to switch from the course to social occasions.

5. Versatile Design

Select a design that will fit you and, at the same time, follow the dress code required at where you are going. We recommend sticking to a v-neck for a dressier look and a crew neck for a more casual vibe.

Give Style Tips for Athleisure Shirts

Athleisure shirts can be taken from home to the course and back again. Here is how to make the most of them:

1. At the Course

Wear tailored shorts or golf pants to provide a polished look for your tee.

Complete it with a coordinating Jaxson Maximus hat. 

2. At the Clubhouse

Chinos or dark jeans would complement the shirt to give that smart but casual look.

Wear a lightweight blazer over your tee as the evening cools down.

Care Of Your Athleisure Shirts

Your athleisure shirts will be in their best condition for the following care tips. We always recommend that you double check the washing instructions on every shirt as they can change depending on the fabric used.

Wash in Cold Water: You can keep the fabric quality by not shrinking any with a cold wash.

Avoid Any Fabric Softeners: Avoid using any harsh chemicals or bleach in your wash cycle to keep the color integrity of your tees.

Air Dry or Use Low Heat: It will damage the elastic fibers at high temperatures.

Storage: Hanging your shirts keeps them in shape and avoids wrinkles. If folded be sure they they are neatly put back together.
