Style meets function

With its sophisticated silhouettes and understated color palette, A. Putnam looks like a brand that Grace Kelly or Lauren Bacall might have worn in the 1940s. Yet the fabrics, stretch properties, UPF protection and overall styling make it completely functional and relevant for today’s female golfer.
Having celebrated its one-year anniversary in January, the brand features a selection of tops, bottoms, skirts, dresses and outerwear, with additional items being added to each category for spring. Collections are marked by simple lines and include tops and bottoms with tulip detailing and a travel blazer with four-way stretch that’s also machine washable. Yet there are two styles at the heart of its luxury-resort vibe: the Classic Button Up ($198), a “wardrobe essential” in bright white with cuffed knit sleeves that can be worn at full- or three-quarter length; and the Reversible Quilted Vest ($220), a cozy water-resistant layer designed to keep golfers warm without constriction so they can focus on their swing.
