Makes me want a Martini

Golftini was started to help fill the void in the women's golf clothing lines. The owner Susan Hess wanted to create a fun and functional skort appropriate for golf.  Hess drew her inspiration from the martini.  "She set out to do the same thing for golf attire that New York City restaurants have done for the ultra modernized Martini."  Hess hoped to create a fashionable skort for the golf course and for after round drink.  Hess started creating skorts that started to gain popularity and thus the Golftini line.

First word of warning for Golftini: it does not come cheap like a New York City martini.  Regularly priced skorts in the Spring 2013 collection start at $120.  No golf skort in my opinion is worth $120.  I can find cuter and high quality golf skorts at better prices.  The patterns are unique and come in appropriate lengths.  A nice bonus to Golftini, is skorts are available in different lengths.  This will allow a female golfer to enjoy a skort but be age or body type appropriate.  The patterns and colors gravitate to the pastel and large graphics.  I do appreciate the patterns of Golftini, and the patterns are more mature than GolfHer.  Like GolfHer, Golftini does offer a Junior line.  Again prices are a little expensive starting at $60.  A little too much to pay for a skort that will probably only last one season until the younger golfer out grows it.   

Golftini offers a wide variety of apparel from polos, sweaters, and dresses.  A female golf fashion trend that Golftini demonstrates the untucked shirt.  I do not like this look.  I will admit I do wear my shirt untucked sometimes with a skort.  However, I think it looks unkept and messy.  I prefer to see golfers with their shirts tucked in.  I will concede that untuck shirt can be comfortable but I want to see females go back to the tucked in shirt.  This will make the whole outfit look more polished. 

I doubt you will ever see Golftini in my closet.  I am not willing to spend $120 on a skort.  However, if someone purchased a Golftini skort or outfit for me I would not turn it down.  The patterns are a little over the top but with a good solid polo, the outfit would be cute on the first tee.
