Holiday wish list: These 7 pieces of golf outerwear make perfect gifts | Gear

The leaves are turning, Halloween is just a month away, and savvy shoppers know what that means: the holiday shopping season is already upon us!

It seems like stores start putting up twinkling lights and festive decor earlier and earlier with each passing year, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned as a mom of two, it’s this: Fortune favors the prepared when it comes to checking off all the boxes on your holiday shopping list, and you’ll never regret getting started early.

When it comes to shopping for the golfer in your life, outerwear is one of my favorite categories. It is not only a necessary equipment for golf in cold weather, it is also multifunctional, and can be enjoyed for years on the course and off the course.

Here in Arizona, the weather jacket season is pretty short. But I tend to wear my outerwear year-round – as a buffer against freezing AC temperatures, or when I happen to be outside in the early mornings and late evenings.

Below are seven of my favorite outerwear pieces of the season. Each one is one that you would be absolutely thrilled to receive as a holiday gift. One thing I noticed as I compiled this list? Golf outerwear for women is really in fashion lately, with trendy check prints, fitted waists and cropped silhouettes.

So whether you’re looking for your own wish list or have an early start on gifts for others, here’s hoping these warm and cozy options provide some shopping inspiration.
