1. Versatility: Look for pieces (like the 5-pocket pant or lightweight quarter-zip) that work seamlessly off the course.

2. Performance Fabric: Moisture-wicking, four-way stretch, and UPF 50+ protection are now non-negotiable essentials.

3. Bold Expression: Don't be afraid to utilize unique prints, patterns, or accessories to show your personality on the green.
