These 7 stylish vests will help you stay warm while looking cool

a trio of stylish puffer vests

A good vest is essential for fall golf.

As we head into November and the pinnacle of fall golf, temperatures are dropping substantially in most areas of the country. Luckily, it’s often still warm enough to play golf — that is, if you wear the right layers.

A good vest is the perfect solution for cool mornings that give way to warmer sunshine. A proper vest keeps your core snug and warm while allowing your arms the freedom of movement you crave.

The best part? Vests are stylish both on and off the course, so whatever you buy to wear during your round, you can also rock in other areas of your life.

Check out our seven favorite fall vests below, and while you’re shopping, make sure to check out the rest of the items we have on offer in GOLF’s Pro Shop — your ultimate source for the latest apparel, shoes, accessories and more, all in one convenient place.
