Goldie Byrd’s New Collection Takes Traditional Golf Wear To Another Level
Looks for the golf course or tennis court are inspired by one of Paris’ well-known country clubs
Both Arielle Solheim and Julia Roper decided to start women’s golf apparel brand Goldie Byrd in 2023 when they became tired of the few options that women have. From the sketchpad to the fairway, the looks in their latest collection are fun, stylish, and modern giving women options of more than just shorts, capris, skorts, and a polo on the golf course.
“Women have played golf for centuries and yet we’ve always been limited in options that allow us to look and feel great on the green. The choices that accommodate club rules always left us feeling less than enthused to dress ourselves for play,” share the founders on their site. Both are not new to the world of golf and apparel. Arielle is the great-granddaughter of golf club designer Karsten Solheim, who also founded the golf brand PING. He was also behind the Solheim Cup. Julia studied apparel in London and worked in marketing for well-known fashion brands. They are accomplishing stylish golf wear for women, with pieces that are not only comfortable but also unique.
Golf Scene Sweater, $248
One of the most eye-catching pieces in the collection is their Golf Scene Sweater. It catches the eye and matches perfectly with a polo, and can be paired with a dress, skort, capris or pants. Taking cues from traditional vintage sweaters, it’s an embroidered illustration of a girl playing golf. A total knit, it has an oversized fit and is total golf wear fashion cliché, but one that works. Another sweater that has a classic golf style, and chic look is the Fuzzy Striped Cardigan.
The Goldie Dress, $168
The Goldie Dress comes in four colors: black, white, red, and green. Its soft fabric makes it easy to move in. Keeping in line with golf course uniform etiquette, it’s collard with a quarter zip neckline, fits to the feminine form, and has a removable belt. For extra peace of mind, the All Day Liner Shorts work best with the dress.
Another golf classic in the collection is the Belted Pleated Skirt in white and black and the Flare Skort, with both matching with the Bouclé Cropped Blazer.
