Love The Tenniscore Trend? Golfcore Is Her Preppy Cousin, And We’re Obsessed
The tenniscore trend has taken over social media this year, especially with the growing popularity of pickleball and tennis. Golfcore, however, is a little more country club than the court sports, which means it has an even more stylish outfit formula!
The basics of golfcore are quite simple: bright whites, short skirts, and sporty accessories. These warm-weather looks are the perfect way to celebrate the rest of summer without sweating through your clothes. This athleisure-style aesthetic includes pieces that could be worn for movement, but just as easily worn for a coffee date or an al fresco lunch.
First, a few beauty tips from golfcore girlies. The high ponytail is the hairstyle of the golfcore trend, just as the slick bun was the iconic hairstyle of the clean girl aesthetic. If you have short or curly hair, try this claw clip hairstyle that offers the same height and volume as the high pony!
Makeup for this aesthetic includes SPF, natural lashes, and a tinted lip balm for that finishing touch. Want to add some golfcore staples to your summer outfits? Here’s how!

Essential Accessories
The perfect pairing to your high pony, the golf visor protects your eyes from the sun, covers flyaways, and absorbs sweat from your forehead. This might not be an everyday hat for every outfit, but the visor is an essential for the golfcore aesthetic.
Alternatively, if you want to emulate "that girl" on the golf course, a simple black headband with some chunky gold hoop earrings certainly does the trick. This is also a great accessory to switch to after your game and before lunch at the country club.
