What should you wear to the Masters? A guide for women

If you have never set foot on the sacred grounds of Augusta Nationalthe case may seem important. Not only is Augusta one of the most famous and revered courses in the world, but the Masters is also a social event unlike any other – a place to see and be seen, with golf in between.

For those lucky enough to attend the tournament, one question often looms large: What should I wear? It is an important question that deserves careful consideration.

Participating in a defense capacity is a bit different than participating as a member of the media. When you’re working, you need to be both comfortable and professional, right? Luckily, golf and sportswear have come such a long way that it’s possible to tick those boxes in style too. At the Masters, I like to go a little more than other events.

However, it’s been a while since I’ve attended the Masters in person, so I reached out to my colleague Maddi MacClurg to weigh in with some guidance. Below, you can read our thoughts on the best way to dress for the Masters, as well as check out some links to items that would be right at home on Augusta’s pristine fairways.

Top recommendations for creating a Masters-ready ensemble

The Do’s and Don’ts of Maddi MacClurg

Do: Dress in layers. The weather at Augusta National can turn on a dime – cool morning breezes can give way to scorching midday heat, or even an afternoon shower. It is common for customers to experience multiple seasons in a single day – especially if you’re arriving early secure your Gnome Masters. So it pays to be ready to pile on or take off a layer at a moment’s notice.

not be afraid to dress to impress. The Masters is as much a style showcase as it is a major golf event, with many customers treating each day as an opportunity to bring out their Sunday best. While there’s no dress code that requires you to dress up, rocking sharp, spring-ready looks is part of the fun.

To be green or not?

Material: Absolutely! Green is the Masters’ signature color, so it’s a natural choice. But don’t be afraid to add other iconic Augusta National hues, like yellow and pink. Pastels also work and will help you capture the vibrancy of spring.

Jessica: I agree, Maddi. It’s really fun to bow to the green, and many brands know this and create special collections of Masters-inspired clothing to make it easier.

Not only do they keep the sun off your face, but the right one it can feel incredibly chic – like the perfect finishing touch that pulls your entire outfit together.

Jessica: Golf brands specialize in making clothing that looks great and works well on the course, so if you go this route, there’s no doubt you’ll be comfortable. But it’s okay to buy your clothes from outside the golf world, too. At last week’s Ford Championship, one of my LPGA media friends tipped me off THIS dress from Anthropologie, which she is planning to wear on location in Augusta. She said it’s also a player’s agent favorite, and it’s easy to see why: structured, comfortable and polished. Here are some other looks she’s currently loving:

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this dress is a popular silhouette with several different print options. I love the sleeves, the length and the narrow waist.

Shoe guidee

Jessica: Sandals are cute, but they have the potential to not only hurt your feet, but also get super dirty—especially if it’s raining. Open-toed styles can be particularly dangerous. Even if you decide to wear a dress or skirt, I think stylish sneakers are the way to go.

Material: If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a dozen times—and for good reason. Augusta National’s rolling terrain is more demanding than it looks, and the wrong shoes can leave you dealing with blisters before the afternoon sets begin. Plan to wear comfortable shoes that won’t keep you from getting dirty from the elements of the course.

Here are some shoes I like for the Masters:

See sneakers

Veja Exclusive Volley sneakers

These shoes are the epitome of Augusta National’s Azaleas, in green and pink. The vintage-inspired wingtip detailing is a nod to an earlier era of the game, when legends like Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Lee Trevino laced it up in classic brogue-style spikes.

Espadrilles

TOMS Valencia Platform Espadrille (Women’s)

Espadrilles of any kind will always complement a light linen or cotton outfit for a sunny, spring day on the course. That said, if you’re planning on walking the entire course, you may be better off opting for a slip-on or Mary Jane style like this one for added comfort and ease.

Adidas golf shoes

Adidas Gazelle Spikeless Golf Shoes

Whether you’re hitting 18 or strolling the clubhouse deck with an Azalea in hand, these spikeless, sneaker-style golf shoes are a perfect companion on the course. Comfortable and practical, their extra appeal comes in handy on smooth grass—and with lots of cool colors, you can show off your personal style.

Cole Haan loafers

Loafers are always a classic at the Masters – and for good reason. They strike that perfect balance between sleek and practical. Whether you opt for a sleek leather pair or something with a little more personality, loafers will easily elevate any outfit while still being able to keep up with you as you roam the grounds at Augusta National.
