It’s true. Hemlines in the world of women’s golf fashion do seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Which can be fun, freeing, and flirty—when you want a raised silhouette. But some days, you simply want a bit more coverage, whether for comfort or warmth or because you’re meeting your boss or your partner’s parents for a round and you want your focus to be solely on your game (and your charming personality!) and not your hemline. And for some of us taller golfers out there, this has been a lifelong struggle of finding pants, skirts, and dresses that hit the thigh exactly where we want. So yes, if it’s a short skort you’re after, the options are plenty. But it’s also true that there are longer options that are just as stylish and performance-enhancing. From versatile pants to longer skorts, here are great designs tailored to your needs and sartorial golf dreams.

The faux skirt adds a feminine flair to these pants, as do the flare hem; a great option for tall golfers who want some of the silhouette of a skirt plus the comfort of pants. $195 | PXG Buy Now Hedge Women’s Tatum Tea Skirt This classic pencil skirt cut is made from a soft and stretchy sweatshirt fabric that feels comfy but—thanks to those intricate charcoal flecks of fabric—looks fabulous as well. The more professional, but still sporty, design is intended to help you walk the line between business and (golf) play. But we also love this as an everyday longer option that’s easy to enliven with any style of polo already in your possession. $135 $98 | Hedge Buy Now Kinona Women’s Wrap It Up Black and White Golf Skort The women-focused brand Kinona actually has a whole section for longer golf skorts. The sophisticated monochromatic and asymmetrical wrap design is a total—and fashionable—trick of the eye. Just slip on this skirt, add a minimalist white or black solid polo and you’re set for the course and beyond. $99 | Kinona Buy Now Athleta Women’s Brooklyn Lined Mid Rise Pant These pants actually come recommended by LPGA tour pro and Power of She Collective member Albane Valenzuela who, at a cool 5’ 9”, knows a thing or two about dressing for style and function on the course, no matter height. She said she’ll wear the Athleta Brooklyn line pants from the plane to the course and back again. The brand, which is known for its inclusive sizings and designs, has longer skort, jogger, and legging options too. These pants are available in extra long, tall sizing for your preferred fit. $109 | Athleta Buy Now Coolibar Women’s Pisa Travel Skort UPF 50+ While not exclusively designed for golf, this UV-blocking skirt is made for traveling, meaning its longer length is designed to keep you covered whether you’re taking a car, plane, automobile, or, uh, golf cart. Built in shorts, a made-for-tucking-in waistband, plenty of pockets, and moisture-wicking fabric technology make it great for the course. $89 | Coolibar Buy Now Alo Yoga Women’s High-Waist Dreamscape Trouser (Long) This slouchy cut is trendy, but it also makes for a more flexible fit that flatters a wide range of golfers. The belt loops make this easy to dress up, and the crinkle-woven fabric is a low-stress option if you’re dressing for shorter, lighter plays or a kick around on the driving range. And afterwards, throw on a sweater or tank top and you’re ready for wherever life takes you next. $148 | Alo Yoga Buy Now Viodia Women’s 20″ Knee Length Skorts Skirts UPF50+ Athletic Tennis Golf Skirt for Women Casual Summer Skirts Most of the skorts on this list go beyond the standard “long” length of 18 inches. Clocking in at 20 inches, the skirt hits just above the knees and comes in a variety of patterns in this classic A-line silhouette. A zipper back pocket keeps valuables secure, and a hidden drawstring feature helps you get the perfectly snug and cozy fit. $37 | Amazon Buy Now Baleaf Women’s Laureate UPF50+ Pleated Skort This minimalist’s wardrobe essential features a total of four—4!—pockets plus subtle “flatlock” seams that ensure no skin irritation or chafing. The fabric is also made for performance; it’s moisture-wicking, quick-drying and machine washable, as well as offering UV protection to help you play as safely and comfortably for as long as possible. $49 | Baleaf Buy Now Wilson Women’s Limitless Midi Skirt Okay, stick with me here. This is a creative and unconventional (but totally fun) solution to the tall girl’s dilemma. Throw this bestselling skirt into your gym bag and slip it on over your skort, pants, shorts, or boy shorts for those moments when you want a bit more drama, a bit more coverage. Sure, you might not play in this, but it’s great for elevating an outfit and gaining a few easy inches for those times pre- or post-round when you need them. $88 $62.00 | Wilson Buy Now Renwick Women’s New Skirted Legging Another ingenious solution, this skirt-and-legging duo has all the flirty fun of a pleated skort with the cozy, supported feelings of capri length leggings. The monochrome palette allows the snazzy silhouette to shine, and you could pair this with truly any top you love already in your golf closet. $125 | Renwick Buy Now Cutter & Buck Women’s Pacific Performance Pull On Womens Short We’re rounding out this list with a pair of shorts that are both straight-legged and longer, hitting just a few fingers above the knee. The deceptively simplistic design lends itself to classic, elegant outfits and the stretch waistband and back zipper pocket are two of only a few accent details, allowing you to showcase a different part of your look, whether it’s a cool new visor, a vibrant top, or just your talented swing. $100 | Cutter & Buck Buy Now adidas Women’s Adibreak Skirt Inspired by the classic break-away snap pants, this adidas skirt cuts longer and is designed to be worn with a cropped shirt, which means for the tall ladies out there it should sit comfortably a bit higher than a normal rise skirt. You can also dress this up with a tee and sneakers for a cool off the course or transitional look. $60 | Adidas Buy Now Greg Norman Women’s ML75 17″ Paisley Pull-On Skort An LPGA guide to golf dressing for taller women is actually what sent us on the tracks of this brand. This cascading, cobalt-hued paisley option is 17” in length, but the terraced, asymmetrical pleat design gives you a bit extra coverage. With mesh breathable undershorts, a golf ball pocket, and UV moisture wicking fabric, this skirt is rooted in practicality, but the design is wonderfully whimsical. $79 $55 | Greg Norman Buy Now lululemon Women’s Adapted State High-Rise Jogger Full Length Lululemon is another one of those brands where you can filter for performance wear ideal for both golf and taller figures. This ankle-length pant leaves a bit of extra room for the bottom (and is already cut for longer legs), making it more versatile and more likely to fit more body types. As for the design, we love this warm clay color, which will look so earthy and complimentary against the green of the fairways. $128 | lululemon Buy Now More From Golf Giving Back Best Golf Gifts that Give Back for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2024 Sustainable Style How to be a more sustainable golfer Best Shoe Bags The 9 coolest golf shoe bags to store your kicks on the way to the course
