Some people will say "beige is boring." Well, the counter is that neutrals, such as beige, are an essential part of every wardrobe.
Especially for fall, neutrals can pair nicely with the warm jewel tones of the season. Or with basics like navy, brown and black, but they also coordinate together for a classy, monotone look.
Bringing in texture, such as fleece, and pattern with a plaid further accentuate the many ways to wear neutrals and not be boring.
Neutrals are defined as hues, as opposed to actual colors, so they don’t typically appear on the color wheel. By adding a hint of hue to white, such neutrals as beige, cream, ivory, tan, taupe and camel emerge.
UPPING YOUR APPAREL GAME
Here are nine neutral-toned items that can really step up your fall golf game.
> Adidas: The Quarter-Zip Fleece jacket for women ($110) has the warmth need to play good golf on brisk days. The soft, stretchy fleece moves with the body's shifts and twists throughout the swing. A water-resistant finish sheds occasional light rain for dryness. The beige and white combo are a really nice looking combination.
On the men’s side is a favorite fall piece, the Chore coat ($120) — or half jacket/half shirt ‘shacket’ — is super comfortable and the mix of fleece and knit give it a sporty look. The snap-button front and fold-down collar step add a ton of style detail. This can easily become a go-to on- and off-course layer.
> G/Fore: The Daytona Plus Carry bag in stone ($375) features a four-way top designed with a rivetless mesh construction for maximum club protection. It also has a rotator stand, self-adjusting convertible strap and a compression-molded neoprene back panel for comfort. Sophisticated grosgrain detailing and quilted panels add to the sporty lux look.
> Asher Golf: The tonal brown collection golf glove set ($65) in eggshell, sandstone and mahogany are the perfect compliment to a neutral fall golf outfit. Each glove is made entirely with a single piece of precision-cut AAA Cabretta leather.
> FootJoy: The Stratos golf shoe for men ($199) comes in the ideal beige/khaki combination to pair with a neutral ensemble. It's made with Stratofoam, a proprietary cushioning system that allows the shoe to absorb shock and return energy while reducing foot fatigue.
> J.Lindeberg: The Veela Alpaca mix beanie ($80) bridges the gap between sportswear and fashion with a knit that has a soft hairy texture that keeps you warm when there’s a chill in the air. The tiger brown color block with a strip detail and fold up brim is a great neutral to have on hand.
> Kjus: The Bellavista lightweight vest for women in buttercream ($299) has ThermoCore insulation for warmth, four-way stretch for unrestricted movement and a durable water-repellent coating to fend off light rain. The finishing touches of a blade collar and front pockets with invisible zippers help create a versatile fall layering piece.
> Tory Sport: The women’s yarn-dyed twill golf pant ($228) in french cream light plaid updates a timeless silhouette with performance fabric and sharp tailoring. Made with lightweight twill, the pant provides comfort and full range of motion. Carry essentials such as scorecards, balls and tees in one of the four pockets. The pant pairs nicely with every neutral color from ivory to brown.
> Macade Golf: An eye-catcher is the Clay Range men’s tour hoodie in beige ($125). It’s made with heavyweight tech-pique fabric that provides a lifestyle look and feel, but has all the performance benefits needed for sport. A hidden front pocket stores smaller essentials, and the hoodie style has become universally popular to wear on and off the golf course especially during fall’s transitional weather.
