Welcome to GOLF’s 2020 Style Guide. Our Ashley Mayo and Christian Hafer put together their go-to looks based off their favorite items coming to market right now. So as we head toward crisp fall mornings and chilly winter rounds, these pieces will help you look cool, play confidently and feel like yourself. Check out more of our picks in GOLF’s 2020 Style Guide here, and visit GOLF’s Pro Shop here.

A few of our favorite styles from our Fall/Winter Style Guide are a little pricey. We love them, and wholeheartedly believe they’re worth the investment, but if you’re on a budget, don’t count yourself out.

Below we’ve identified our favorite splurge items and paired them with a thrifty alternative that doesn’t sacrifice the overall look.

Splurge:

LEN Lifestyle Belt

LEN Lifestyle makes elevated belts from all different leathers. This ostrich leg version has a unique texture and matte finish and is a great accessory to wear if you’re trying to subtly flex on your playing partners.

Save:

Nexbelt Alligator 2.0

This cheaper alternative gives you that same animal leather look at a more reasonable price point. Nexbelt has a few color options, but we think a neutral color is best when it comes to croc texture.
