There’s something that Linn Grant does better than most professional golfers.
Gorgeous golf swing aside, the 26-year-old and two-time LPGA winner has been gradually building her case of being one of the best-dressed players in the pro game, period. It’s not flashy and edgy like Michelle Wie West in the 2010s, or even in the likes of being elevated cozy like Cashmere Kieth—what Grant does so damn well is take highly technical and performance pieces and make them extremely relatable and wearable.

For the last four years, she’s been cooking up some expert-level looks with adidas Golf, her official apparel and shoe sponsor, and each year seems to get better. She’s taking pieces that you can purchase right off their site, and turning them into recognizable moments on the course. I can recall an exact round and tournament based on what she put together—and that’s the power of fashion in action, and a true testament to what developing personal style can do.
It’s no accident, nor coincidence that a major legacy brand signing young, fresh talent like Grant has resulted in the a resurgence in relevancy. The adidas of my girlhood, isn’t the adidas I’m seeing now, and that’s a very good thing.

Earlier this year, Grant did a Q&A with Golf Channel where she discussed her relationship with the brand with the three stripes and how her taste has evolved within the partnership. “When I had my first year with them in 2022, I set a pretty clear stance on where I wanted to be in this conversation and was very clear what I thought the brand was and what it could be,” Grant said. “Since then, we have yearly meetings, and for me, my biggest thing is performance, like this length, this pocket, this material, it’s uncomfortable, this doesn’t work when it’s windy, or this gets stuck. And secondly, what I like. But I think the brand is moving toward more of a fashionable brand.”
How something functions matters just as much to her as much as how something looks, which is becoming increasingly important as women’s golf fashion continues to evolve.
“Coming into 2022, it was sort of my dream to be able to go straight from the golf course to dinner and still feel like I’m a girl, I’m young; I don’t want to look like my dad, I just want to pull off my hat, take my hair down and look nice.”

Style inspiration is such an interesting game because it’s rarely ever universal, but what we can all learn from Grant is how she builds her outfits.
What’s easily repeatable for the everyday person is how simple she keeps her core pieces. It’s consistently a formula of some sort of form-fitting polo (usually collar-less) with a more flattering, flared out skirt. She also loves a good golf dress (which she told me when we chatted at adidas HQ in Germany).
Her silhouette formula is well thought out and catered towards her eye, but to take it a step further she’s incredibly well-versed in color coordination. Her outfits never lack cohesion, and she does so by often using the “sandwich” technique, which is essentially a fashion tool used to create visual balance. It can be as simple as matching the color of your top with your shoes or accessories. The key is to have one color be the anchor of your look and you build around it with complimentary tones.
But above all else, she’s a young modern women who is keenly tapped into the larger fashion conversations and she isn’t afraid to take risks.
Her 2024 AIG Women’s Open looks at St Andrews live in my mind rent-free. The earmuffs, the high-top lace up golf shoes, the textured layers—everything was so fun and unique and she was able to create conversation that’s stuck around.
“Those things [outfits] that make the week more memorable also makes me play a little better. It pushes me away from thinking about just golf and gives me something else during the week that I can put my mind to.”
Linn Grant knows exactly what she wants, and how she wants to look while still allowing for herself to be open to trying out new things. Style isn’t stagnant, and it shouldn’t be.
