With The Masters on the radar of sports and fashion enthusiasts worldwide, I received a note filled with "fashion picks" from Function 18, a UK-based golf apparel website which promises the same cutting edge look and performance as the professionals on Tour. That being said, here are Function 18's selection of who will be the most chic Masters golf apparel trendsetters.
***************
With excitement now building for April’s Masters Tournament, we are
taking a look at some of the most stylish players taking part in this year’s
event with golf fashion experts “Function 18”. We’ve
weighed up their golf swings and statistics, but which of this year’s players will
win in the Masters Style stakes?
Ryo Ishikawa
Watch out for Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa at this year’s event, known for his bold and stylish outfit
choices whilst gracing the greens. Although his style may not be everyone’s cup
of tea, it’s a breath of fresh air to see this young player experimenting with
colours and prints - we’re big fans of his signature red and white ensemble.
Bubba Watson
We are keen followers of Bubba Watson's exciting and aggressive style of play!
At this year's Masters, having signed a new clothing contract with Oakley, we
will see him with a variety of new looks to suit his playing style. Function 18 stocks a wide range of Oakley clothing, including a range of items Bubba himself has
been spotted in, including this great Oakley Fade Polo shirt from
only £32.99.
Jason Day
The stylish young Australian is definitely a key player to watch in this year’s
tournament; in fact it will be pretty hard to miss Jason Day on the Augusta
fairways. Contracted to wear the bold and bright Adidas Fashion Performance collection, we’re
looking forward to seeing him wear some of the key pieces from the brand’s new
spring / summer collection.
Ian Poulter
Ian Poulter’s attitude to fashion
is always fun and playful. He continues to wear his own IJP Design collection
which focuses heavily on the tartan trousers, but his recent Puma shoe and belt
deal has seen him showcase some of Puma’s bright, eye catching products. Past
style choices have seen him team bright yellow puma golf shoes with green check
trousers; we certainly have to commend him on his confidence! Function 18 has a great range of Puma and
IJP Design
products available if you want to
try and re-create Ian Poulter’s eye catching look. And, be sure to check out his limited edition Masters Putter Cover.
Tiger Woods
Never one to disappoint in the Majors, Woods' look is always clean cut, fresh
and modern. With young Rory McIlroy snapping at his heels, Tiger still remains a
great style ambassador for Nike and his signature plain polo shirts and
traditional neutral golf pants are an easy look for spectators to try
themselves. Look out for red on the last day!
Rory McIlroy
Originally not one to stand out for his golf fashion, it will be interesting
to see if McIlroy's new £120 million Nike sponsorship deal will give him a
boost in the golfing style stakes. The Nike clubs don’t seem to be helping his
game much but we have already seen him in some exciting brown/green colour
combinations and we can’t wait to see more. (editor's note...with Rory McIlroy's game being compared to Tiger's at every tournament, now we can compare clothing too!)
The team at Function 18 are looking forward to the Big Masters Event in April and will
be spotting the latest golf fashion trends to hit the greens in 2013. View all
