How to Choose the Correct Golf Bottoms Length?
Knowing various factors is essential when looking for golf trousers for sale and buying options in the UK. Follow the steps below to choose the best golf joggers or trousers, considering practical and styling reasons.
1. Take Accurate Measurements
-
Go around your natural waist, about one inch above the hip bones, not at the belt line.
-
The inseam is determined by height, along with the leg length. 30–32 inches for average-height, 33–34 inches for taller golfers, and a 7–9 inch inseam is standard for shorts. Our golf trousers collections have accurate inseam details for every size, while aligning with standard shorts rules.
-
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks.
2. Get to Know Different Fits and Cut Styles
-
The leg opening of straight cuts measures from the knee to the ankle. They give enough room through the thigh without looking baggy. Premium Play Trousers use a combination of stretch and ergonomic cuts, offering a comfortable yet flattering fit.
-
Slim fit Men's Clima Golf Trousers gradually narrow down from thigh to ankle for a more contemporary look.
-
Athletic cuts are perfect for players with bigger thighs and glutes. The extra space in the buttocks area eliminates the uncomfortable pulling feeling.
-
The tapered style Luxe Golf Joggers streamlines from the knee to the ankle, ideal for golfers who need a modern, clean silhouette without losing mobility.
-
The relaxed-fit Heritage Tex Shorts suit golfers who prefer comfort over style, or those with larger sizes.

5. Shoe Compatibility
-
Consider the sole thickness of golf shoes.
-
Correct length of trousers rests slightly above the shoe and doesn't drag on the ground.
-
Knee height is excellent for shorts.
-
For joggers, prefer a cuffed ankle finish.
6. Swing Dynamics and Movement
Check length by walking or crouching slightly. Length is just right when the trousers stay in their place, and there are no pleats around the knee.
7. Season and Weather
-
Hot weather: Wear breathable shorts or lightweight men's golfing trousers
-
Cold weather: Full-length cold-weather pants with ankle coverage, high-stretch fabric, and a layer-friendly design.
The technical fabric of heritage Stripe Shorts, Thermal Winter Trousers, and Birdie Shorts is moisture-wicking, flexible, and ideal for maintaining consistent length and fit across seasons.
