Fashion on the greens

More and more women are taking to golf, changing the complexion of the game while bringing some lively fashion to the course. Most golfer women try to fuse fashion as well as function in everything from skirts, pants and tops to hats, shoes and golf bags.

Till now plus sized gals were buying men's shirts and looking like their fathers and husbands. But now, dressing on the greens can be chick than ever.

The trend of hip women's golfwear, putting away those boring polo shirts and stiff skirts is expected to draw more women to the greens.

Ralph Lauren has already designed luxury golfwear for women, and high-end French brand Celine is also cashing high this summer with its "Golf Open" luxury mini-collection in tangerine, khaki and white.

Fashion on greens is not only about clothes, but patterned golf bags, fancy golf club covers and golf-inspired barware and jewelry.

The line between street clothes and golf clothes is slowly diminishing, with golf clothes becoming trendier than ever.
