Men's golf shorts aren't incredibly complicated, and yet they're typically elegant looking shorts. The entire country club look circulates around a nice pair of clean-cut shorts (and polo shirt) that are perfect for the course. The ideal short is flexible; the shorts should move as you rotate your hips for a swing. They also have to look continually presentable on the golf course, whether you work up a sweat or wrinkles your shorts a bit. Then of course, you can go simple and classic or add a bit more of your own snazzy personality. If that is indeed, your personality.
Shorts Style
Khaki seems to be the most classic of these shorts, especifally if you want to play it safe. Khaki comes in various washes, including some brighter colors. But a stone wash or natural hue is ideal if you want to keep it simple. There are even embroidered khaki golf shorts out there. Plaid seems to be an equally popular choice for golf shorts these days. Golfers prefer to stick with zipper-up shorts with a minimal amount of pockets. There's no need for anything like Velcro or cargo pockets on a relaxed pair of golf shorts.
