Golf Clothing and Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey and golf clothing go together like chalk and cheese – right?

Sexy golf clothing

Sexy golf clothing has to be an oxymoron. But it seems there is a trend for women to bring sexy golf clothing onto the fairways. It all began when pop diva Mariah Carey refused to don the customary golf clothing of collared shirts, slacks and proper golf shoes. The pop star was taking a lesson in putting, she said after the event: “I went out on the links in three-inch high heels and barely anything on and they didn't mind. I'm now seriously contemplating designing sexy women's golf clothes.”

Rejecting golf clothing

Some people may think nobody minded her stilettos putting holes into the green because of her reputation as a diva, who would challenge a diva? But her rejection of golf clothing for being too geeky might not be such a bad thing. Perhaps once she's finished making women's golf clothing sexy, she could do something about the men's?

Women's golf clothing

But it is inevitable that the more women who take up golf and buy golf clothing the more golf clothing with warp into more fashionable apparel. Droves and droves of women, especially in America , are hitting the golf course with 5.76 million of them in the US according to research by the National Golf Foundation. Where women go, clothes go too; golf clothing will inevitably become hip.

Celebrity golf clothing

Celebrity interest means the likes of Clint Eastwood and Jodie Kidd have their own lines in golf clothing. Golf clothing has now become more attractive, more feminine and more flirty. Golf has an allure for women, not just because of the celebrities but because their colleagues and friends are doing it. It has spread like wild fire thanks to the fact that golf is one of the ultimate networking activities around. If it's good enough for Presidents and film stars, than it's good enough for the fashion elite too. Just because the game is attracting a female following doesn't mean they are willing to put up with frumpy, masculine golf clothing.

Demand for golf clothing

Mariah Carey actually summed up the feelings of many women who have taken up the game but don't want to look frumpish in golf clothing, even if she was joking about designing her own sexy golf clothes line. The success of female golfers such as Annika Sorenstam has also helped widen the appeal of the game beyond being a boy's club for the wealthy country club types. The more women that get into the sport, the more demand there will be for stylish golf clothing.
