Is there any golf wardrobe staple more ubiquitous than golf shorts? Shoes come in endless varieties, and even polos have subtle variations that set them apart, from blade collars to button plackets of differing lengths. But shorts are the ultimate workhorse of every player’s apparel arsenal. Available in every shade under the sun, they are an essential ingredient in a golfer’s warm-weather outfit.

Even if the silhouette remains consistent, there are still plenty of ways golf shorts can differentiate themselves. From stretchy, moisture-wicking materials to casual elastic waitsbands and whimsical prints, our favorite golf shorts of 2021-22 share two important things in common: they’re all comfortable and stylish.

So, take a scroll through our picks below, and find a pair — or even two! — to add to your closet this holiday season.
