If you’re still wearing the same black or brown leather belt with every polo-and-pants combo in your golf closet, you’re missing out on a super-stylish trend that not only adds a bit of panache to every outfit, it’s also easy to pull off.
That’s right, we’re talking about braided belts. They’re everywhere, from the PGA Tour to your local muni, and adding one into your regular rotation will make you look and feel just a bit more polished every time you slip it through your pant’s loops.
Braided belts come in every shade but we’re especially loving the more understated basics and earth tones that are sure to go with everything you already have in your closet. The braided fabric is comfortable, stretchy and adds just the right amount of preppy style.
Check out some of our favorites below, and to shop more great gear for your game, take a scroll through the new inventory available in GOLF’s Pro Shop.
