IZOD fits well, looks great, performs very well in heat and can be found for reasonable prices. Adidas always appeals but is overpriced, as is Under Armour.
The slim fit stuff doesn't work for me but looks ok on ultra thin guys. I dress understated but appropriate for my body type and shoot for a balanced, well coordinated look.
If price is no object, the only real upgrade would be Allen Edmonds golf shoes. I don't want to feel my clothes when I golf. Comfort and the correct materials for the weather comes first. I like style, but function is first and foremost.
Of the youth oriented lines, Travis Mathew would get the nod. Puma screams "look at me" a little too much for my liking. But that's subjective. If you're a type "A" personality and crave the action and attention, then Puma, Sligo and a couple of others work just fine. J Lindeman has some nice looking lines if price is no object.
They have some shoes that are truly stylish and classy for the right look.
I golf with a good buddy who plays to a 5, playing a couple times a month and has a far better swing than I'll ever possess, but wears the cheapest clothes he can muster. Shirts untucked and rumpled, jeans if it's on a course he can get away with them and the cheapest Footjoy tennis shoe style that he can find on sale. It makes a statement of it's own.
But his swing speaks of an elegance that 95% of folks can't match, no matter how expensive an outfit they drape on themselves. For many, the nice threads are merely camouflage for an ugly swing..So I guess there's different ways to look at style.
