What to Wear for Your First Golf Lesson: A Women’s Guide
Starting golf for the first time can feel daunting — not just because of the sport itself, but also because of the question every woman asks: what should I wear?
The good news is that your first golf lesson is usually on the driving range, where a strict dress code isn’t always required. That means you don’t need to invest in a full golf wardrobe straight away. Instead, you can focus on comfortable, versatile pieces that let you move freely, keep you feeling confident, and (bonus) transition effortlessly into your everyday style.
Here’s our guide to what to wear for your first golf lesson — complete with a few Lost favourites that work perfectly both on and off the course.
1. Start with a Versatile Sports Top
The most important part of any golf outfit is comfort and flexibility. You’ll be swinging, stretching, and moving a lot, so you’ll want something that feels like a second skin but still looks polished.
Our Sophia Baselayer is the perfect place to start. With seamless 4-way stretch and quick-dry fabric, it’s breathable enough for range sessions yet sleek enough to style with leggings or trousers when you’re off the course. Think of it as your go-to sports top that works across golf, tennis, running, or even coffee runs.
2. Pair with Leggings or Sporty Trousers
Since many beginners will be on the range for their first lesson, leggings are a great option. They’re flexible, comfortable, and you probably already own a pair. If you’re looking for performance-ready leggings designed with sport in mind, our Thalia Leggings offer lightweight, breathable comfort with a second-skin fit that supports every swing.
Prefer something a little more structured? Try our Court Trousers. With a wide-leg silhouette and non-see-through stretch fabric, they bring a elevated look while still keeping you comfortable.
3. Add a Lightweight Layer
If your lesson is outdoors, layers are your best friend. On a cooler day, a quarter-zip adds both warmth and polish. Our Serena 1/4 Zip is crafted from cotton with a relaxed, layer-ready fit, making it perfect for throwing on over a base layer.
And if the weather is unpredictable (as it often is in the UK), a jacket is a smart addition. Our Athena Waterproof Jacket is windproof, lightweight, and breathable, keeping you dry and comfortable without restricting your swing.
4. Footwear & Accessories
Most ranges will allow trainers, so there’s no need to rush out and buy golf shoes straight away. Choose comfortable footwear with good grip. As you progress, you might want to invest in golf-specific shoes, but for your first lesson, trainers will do the job.
Accessories like a cap or beanie can also come in handy depending on the season — they’ll keep the sun (or the chill) off your head while you focus on your swing.
Final Thoughts
Your first golf lesson should be fun, relaxed, and a chance to learn — not stress about what to wear. Focus on comfort, versatility, and layering, and you’ll be ready for anything the range throws at you.
At Lost, our goal is to create sport-inspired lifestyle clothing that feels just as good off the course as it does on it. From the Sophia Baselayer to the Court Trousers, Thalia Leggings, Serena 1/4 Zip, and Athena Waterproof Jacket, each piece is designed to support your movement and style wherever your day takes you.
