She doesn't have a title. Or rather, she has several — none of which she leads with. She lives somewhere between SoHo and the West Village, keeps a standing Saturday tee time, and has never once worn a visor unironically. Golf entered her life the way most things do: through the people she wanted to spend time with, and stayed because she's genuinely good at it. This is her wardrobe guide.
New York has always had an unofficial uniform for everything. The way you dress for a dinner in Tribeca signals something different from a dinner in the West Village. Golf is no different — and the women who've taken over the city's tee times in the last two years understand exactly what they're doing. Each course asks something different from her wardrobe. This is the guide for all four.
In this guide, you'll find:
- The Bethpage look — what to wear when the round is the main event
- The Dyker Beach look — the outfit built to be seen, on and off the course
- The Van Cortlandt look — a color that reads as intentional against any backdrop
- The Pelham Bay look — the one-piece that does everything, effortlessly
- The brands she's shopping that aren't in any pro shop

Scene One: Bethpage Black — When the Round Is the Point
Bethpage is serious golf. The Black Course has hosted US Opens. The fairways are narrow, the rough is unforgiving, and the women who book tee times here do it because they want to play — not because it's a good backdrop. The It-Girl who shows up at Bethpage is not performing. She's competing, even if only with herself.
Which means the outfit needs to work. Not look like it works — actually work. Full range of motion, fabric that moves with the swing, a silhouette that stays intentional through all 18 holes without requiring a second thought.
At Bethpage, she goes full Lanvin Blanc. All black. No question.
Lanvin Blanc Women's Wool Ribbed Knit Top — Black — $368.00
The wool ribbed knit top is the Bethpage base layer: structured enough to hold its shape through a full swing, considered enough to read as intentional from the first tee to the clubhouse. The black-and-grey stripe brings enough visual interest to make the monochromatic look deliberate rather than default. Lanvin Blanc's French heritage applied to a performance silhouette — the kind of piece that earns its price point by working every time she reaches for it.

Lanvin Blanc Women's Stretch Panel Mini Skirt — Black — $368.00
The stretch panel construction is what makes this skirt the right Bethpage bottom: full hip rotation through the swing, structured silhouette that holds its shape through 18 holes, and a clean black line that closes the all-black look with complete certainty. Paired with the ribbed knit top, this is the outfit that says she's here to play — and dressed exactly as well as she plays.
Price: $368 Shop at Erthegolf.com →
The Bethpage Look: Lanvin Blanc wool ribbed knit top + stretch panel mini skirt, both in black. The most considered monochromatic golf look available at Erthe right now. Dressed to compete.
Scene Two: Dyker Beach — The Outfit Built to Be Seen
Dyker Beach is the social course. South-facing, open, views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on the back nine — every hole is a photograph waiting to happen. The women who play Dyker Beach in May know exactly what they're doing when they pull into the parking lot.
She doesn't dress to be noticed at Dyker Beach. She dresses because she always dresses, and Dyker Beach happens to have perfect light.
Lanvin Blanc Women's Ribbon Knit Vest — Coral — $384.00
The Ribbon Knit Vest in coral is the Dyker Beach statement piece. The ribbon tie at the waist, the fine knit construction, the black contrast trim at the neckline — this is Lanvin Blanc at its most editorial. Coral against the open sky and the Narrows in the background is not a coincidence. It is the kind of color choice that reads as completely effortless and is anything but. Not available in any pro shop in New York. That's part of the point.

Lanvin Blanc Women's Stretch Panel Mini Skirt — Off White — $129.00
The off-white stretch panel mini skirt is the bottom that lets the coral vest lead. Clean, lightweight, stretch construction for the full range of motion the swing requires — and the off-white creates a warmth against coral that white alone couldn't. The same skirt silhouette as the black, in the colorway that opens the Dyker Beach look rather than closing it.
Price: $129 Shop at Erthegolf.com →
The Dyker Beach Look: Lanvin Blanc coral ribbon knit vest + off-white stretch panel mini skirt. The color pairing that photographs well in the Narrows light and looks just as considered when it doesn't.

Scene Three: Van Cortlandt — A Color That Reads as Intentional Against Any Backdrop
Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course is the oldest public golf course in the United States — a fact she mentions casually in conversation because she's the kind of person who knows facts like that. The Bronx tree line, the elevation changes, the feeling that the city is both close and completely irrelevant.
She plays Van Cortlandt when she wants to be away from the performance of it all. The wardrobe reflects that: still considered, still entirely her own, but with a color that does the talking.
Keypote Women's Shortsleeve Polo — Mint Green — $180.00
The Keypote mint green polo is the Van Cortlandt color decision. Against the Bronx tree line in late May, mint reads as sharp and unexpected in equal measure — the kind of choice that looks obvious in retrospect and isn't. The drawstring hem detail gives the silhouette enough personality to carry the look on its own. Keypote's construction sits in the premium Korean golf fashion register: fitted without restricting, structured without stiffening.
Price: $180 Shop at Erthegolf.com →
Keypote Women's Pleated Skirt — White — $229.99
The white pleated skirt is the bottom that grounds the mint polo without competing with it. The silver buckle detail at the waist is the piece's editorial signature — small enough to read as subtle, considered enough to matter up close. Full pleated construction for unrestricted movement through the swing. At Van Cortlandt, where the energy is relaxed but the aesthetic never is, this is the skirt that matches the mood exactly.
Price: $229.99 Shop at Erthegolf.com →
The Van Cortlandt Look: Keypote mint green polo + white pleated skirt. The color contrast that reads as deliberate from the first tee and looks just as considered at the 19th hole.
Scene Four: Pelham Bay — The One-Piece That Does Everything
Pelham Bay is where she goes when she needs to be unreachable. The most exposed course in the NYC public golf system — wind off the Long Island Sound, changing conditions by the hole, the sense of being genuinely outside the city rather than adjacent to it.
The Pelham Bay outfit is the simplest in this guide. One piece. Zero decisions. Everything handled before she gets to the course.
Kheé Women's Backless Polo Dress — Navy Blue — $108.00
The Kheé backless polo dress is the Pelham Bay piece: a sleeveless navy silhouette from the front that opens into a full backless cut from behind. At a course where the wind comes off the Long Island Sound and the round earns its exposure, the backless construction moves with conditions rather than fighting them. Navy reads with presence in the open light of an exposed course. The detail that makes it the It-Girl's choice is exactly what makes it look effortless: the halter neck, the clean A-line skirt, the back that reveals itself when she walks away.
Price: $108 Shop at Erthegolf.com →
The Pelham Bay Look: Kheé backless polo dress in navy. One piece. The round done right.
The Brands She's Shopping That Aren't in Any Pro Shop
The shift in New York's It-Girl golf wardrobe isn't a trend. It's a supply change. The brands that used to require a trip to Seoul or Paris are available now in a single catalog — and the women who've found them are building wardrobes that look nothing like what the city's courses expected.
Lanvin Blanc — The golf line of one of Paris's oldest fashion houses. French design heritage applied to a performance silhouette. Bethpage and Dyker Beach, covered.
Keypote — The Korean brand building a premium golf wardrobe at a price point that earns it. The mint polo and white pleated skirt are the Van Cortlandt look that no one else is wearing.
Kheé — The brand that makes the one-piece worth choosing over separates. The backless polo dress is the piece that makes Pelham Bay feel like a decision rather than a default.
None of them are in a standard pro shop. All of them are at Erthe Golf. That, increasingly, is the point.

She doesn't play golf because it's a trend. She plays because she's good at it, because it takes her somewhere the city can't follow, because the people she plays with are worth four hours of her time, and because she found a wardrobe for it that looks exactly like the rest of her life. Everything in this guide is available at Erthe Golf. The guide is the starting point. Vibefit by Erthe™ builds the rest.
