What to wear to the Golf? - Muirfield Open

With the 2013 Open Championship being held at Muirfield in Gullane, East Lothian this year from 14^th to 21^st July and the good weather forecast to continue planning ahead can ensure you have an enjoyable day out on the course – well depending on how your favourite player is performing.    

The most important thing to plan for, especially for women, is the footwear.  High heels may be glamorous for an evening out but try walking round 18 holes on a golf course and you will struggle.  A pair of sandals will be nice and cool in the hot weather or why not try a small heeled wedge for a more fashionable look. Whatever you decide make sure they are comfortable as you may walk quite some distance throughout the day.

A pair of light trousers or long shorts paired with a polo shirt is acceptable dress for women on a golf course. Cool summer dresses with sandals will also be seen at golfing events in the summer. It is considerate to the players to wear light colours and not brightly distracting colours.  

If it is hot have a large bag to hold your sunscreen, hat and glasses and bottle of water.  Take a waterproof jacket as it is a Scottish summer we are talking about!  

As stated above polo shirts are ideal to wear and you could show your support for your favourite player by having your own logo created on a polo shirt or a hat at Dunbar T-shirt shop.

Muirfield have hosted the Open Championship 17 times with St. Andrews hosting the most at 27.  

The Silver Claret Jug or the Golf Champion Trophy will be awarded to the winner at the end of the tournament.    So whether you are supporting Scottish Amateur champion Grant Forrest or American Tiger Woods and whatever you decide to wear we hope you have a lovely day.    If past Opens are anything to go by then we are in for some excellent golf and lots of exciting, nail biting finishes.

How to look good doing summer sports

The summer brings with it a multitude of wardrobe dilemmas, from warm days to summer rain you often find yourself carrying a bag full with another outfit just in case. With Summer comes sport, tennis, cricket and water-sports are all in full flow.

So how do you remain looking you're best when you will be playing a high intensity sport? Here's some tips:

1. Make sure it's White or Black

Sweat stains look good on nobody, and whilst your playing in the sun it is all too common a sight. Ensure your clothes are either White or dark coloured to ensure the sweat stains don't show up. Also choosing the right fabrics is important, cotton absorbs the sweat but polyester will allow air to pass through the material and will reject the sweat.

2. Headband or towel to keep the sweat away

Headbands are a great way to keep your hair out your face, but also help to soak up the sweat from your forehead. They can add a splash of colour to your look and make the blank white outfit have a sparkle of vibrant colour.

 

3. Invest in some shorts

If you are wearing a skirt, ensure you have some cycling shorts under, this makes it more comfortable to give your all without worrying about wardrobe malfunctions. When sporting having cycling shorts can be used for multitude of different outfits.

 

4. Keep that cardigan close at hand

Whilst the sun is shining, you won't have to worry, but if the weather darkens or as it gets later in the day a nice cardigan is a great way to keep warm. 

 

5. Beach Bags hold all 

A beach bag is a must for anyone sporting in the summer, large bags help to hold all your items, from sun cream to sun glasses.
