When did fashion peak on tour?

[Hankshank]

Remember the days of Adidas Superstars,Bola socks pulled down, trainer pants and a sweater, not peak aesthetically but pretty cool and comfy.

[mshills]

Jimenez has style even if his shirts don’t always quite fit. 
 

Seve most definitely had style too. 
 

I think Tom Ford makes Phil’s pants….and he used to wear with really cool croc / gator / lizard shoes and belts.

Peak?  Gonna have to go with the pink cashmere sweaters from the '89 Ryder Cup:

 

 

And let's give a shout out to one of the few modern guys besides Adam Scott who isn't afraid to do the understated, properly fit thing:

Tommy Armour second from right, by the way. The ties were awesome but the dress shirts were probably too restrictive, I do wish we kept the metal spikes now, though. In these days, 15 spikes per shoe was common.

 

And I believe it is Robert Tyre Jones Jr that is second from the left.

This is the peak! Nothing baggy, nothing too tight, colour harmony! Fitness, style and elegance! 

 

Peaked here and can't ever get better.

 

I've got one spot left on me for a big tattoo piece and it's going to be a golf one. Been going back and forth a lot with my tattooer about it and pretty sure it's going to be this.

As I see it, professional "style" peaked, when youngsters showed up wanting to make the workplace, so it doesn't look like work.  That's also when tournament venues got faster and rough got short to non-existent. 

 

Those darn youngsters!

Ballesteros was always well fitted out.

He's the Morten Harket of golf. Ageless. Effortlessly stylish.

I had a very similar vest as this. Shirt sleeves to my forearms, pleated pants, Etonic saddle shoes. Thought I was the $**t! 😂

Well, not really honestly. But I do really cherish players that goes against the current player uniform (The "marine" blue of DJ). Payne Stewart, Ian Poulter, Parnevik and Sandelin, they do lighten up, as personalities that goes beyond going around the golf course with one expression on their face and a "stay patient" comment if playing well also adds to, at least mine, watching experience. Even guys like Pat Reed. 

But would I wear that... outfit on the course. No. I trample along in my super standard greyish vêtements...

Too much - thats Van Rooyen or Mitchell pant bottoms and those super short socks.

Bless your heart.  It is still summer now in some places.  Truck thermometer said 82 just now.  Not that that is hot, it is actually really nice out.

 

Oh, I know.  I'm living in one of those places now.  Got to mid-upper 90's the first week of June here and stayed there all summer.
