Off the course, the little black dress is famously elegant and versatile. So ingrained in the fashion lexicon, it even has its own acronym—the LBD. Dynamic, comfortable and stylish are also characteristics we look for in our golf wear, especially as the temperatures begin to drop. We’ve been tracking the rise of little black dresses designed for golf, as seen in this soft, breathable, clean-cut LBD from Bad Birdie. The dress comes in other fun colors, including rust and clay, plus a trippy jade pattern, but we love starting with the timeless black option. The dress has a comfy, compression fit with built-in shorts, ideal whether you’re playing golf or dancing the night away. Here are three ways to wear it: one for golf, one for a casual daytime look and one dressed-up night ensemble. Through gilded accents and playful prints, we’re balancing the sleek minimalism of this golf dress with personalized touches that are as versatile as the little black dress itself.
