St Croix Collections was recently featured in the March 2021 edition of Golf Plus Magazine. The article explains the importance of performance clothing for golfers and evolving trends in golf apparel! 

A Golfer’s Signature Component 

Out of all athletes, some would argue that golfers wear the most stylish outfits, or uniforms. Golfers do not need to be particular in what they wear as golfing is a solo sport, which gives the athletes full control over their attire. The game of golf is also quite relaxing, allowing players to dress comfortably. 

Playing rounds outside all day creates the need to be protected from outside elements as they are playing their rounds. An uncomfortable shirt is the last thing an athlete wants to worry about during a round of golf. They just want to feel luxurious enough in their game attire that they can easily go straight from the green to the clubhouse!

Many golfers want to stand out on the green. They have been seen wearing primarily bright colors and loud patterns. St. Croix Collections stands out because we quickly noticed the emerging trend of solid tones and timeless neutral colors. Our soft, luxurious shirts make the perfect golf apparel. They are made with quality Giza Cotton, Merino Wool, and other synthetics that are durable, absorbent, and breathable. The perfect combination for a golfer who wants to be confident and comfortable out on the green. 

Quality performance clothing should help provide sun protection, be odor resistant and quick drying, as well as have a great fit and ease of care. All aspects men look for in their clothing! 

Cotton is a durable and hypoallergenic fabric that has been worn by golfers for decades. Nowadays, tech apparel is evolving towards synthetic fiber shirts and the convenience factor of them, rather than the high maintenance work of wearing a cotton shirt. Athletes do not want to iron their clothes before they go play a game, or round.

The ease of care has driven performance-based clothing. Convenience is the new black!

The climate you live in could depend on what kind of fabric needed to protect you from outside elements. But not merino wool. During colder months, merino wool provides insulation to keep you warm. On hotter days, the wool transports sweat from skin and releases humidity that will keep you cool! Merino wool is the perfect year-round staple piece and worth the investment for anyone’s wardrobe. 

Fabric performance is a big part when it comes to playing golf. These athletes swing a golf club back above their head multiple times in a round. Their shirt should stay tucked into their pants, collar should stay in-place, and the whole shirt remain wrinkle-free throughout the rounds. St. Croix values style and fabric when it comes to designing and manufacturing clothing for men and golfers.
