No matter how hot it gets, some golfers refuse to wear shorts. This summer, however, even traditionalists are swapping trousers for shorts—which is the sensible choice given the temperatures of late.
It’s never too late to add a pair or two to your wardrobe, and you needn’t worry about whether you’ll look smart either—there are numerous styles to choose from that all guarantee a polished appearance.
Golf shorts don’t come much smarter than white. It’s a colour that’s easy to pair with many different colour tops. So, with that in mind, here’s our selection of the best white golf shorts (men’s and women’s) on the market.
But a word of warning before we start: always apply plenty of sun cream, especially if your legs haven’t seen the light of day for some time!
