Golf's latest trend... the shift in fashion
There was a time when you would look at Jesper Parnevik and say, "WTF is he wearing?" Lately, his attire is tame compared to what's been popping up on courses all over the PGA Tour.
I'd like to try some of these trendy duds myself, but given that my body type is less "Badds" and more "SignBoy", I think I'd end up looking more like a beach ball and less like a hip golfer.
"Golf has been dominated by talk of the Big Four and tournaments interrupted by weather. But another trend that can no longer be ignored is the latest shift in fashion.
Sansabelt pants were all the rage in the '70s.
The '80s were about colors and plaids that never seemed to work together and gave golf a bad reputation for having badly dressed men chasing a little white ball. Portraits of winners at The Players Championship hang from a wall at Sawgrass, and there was one stretch in the '80s that three out of four champions wore red pants.
Later down the row, it becomes obvious that golf went conservative in the '90s with solid pants and solid shirts.
And then Parnevik showed up." [ESPN.com]
