Trunk show finds

There's nothing like a good trunk show to rev up your golf wardrobe. Following are some of the fun things we found at a recent trunk show outing:

- 4all by Jofit Thumbs Up women's jacket is part of the new fuchsia group. It's made from 87 percent polyester and 13 percent spandex heavyweight jersey with an ergonomic-paneled design that allows full range of motion and a flattering fit.

The jacket zips from the bottom and the top to adjust to any activity, and the sleeves will stay in place with the thumb hole option on the cuffs. Additional colors also available.

- SanSoleil SolTek performance polos for women protect against 99 percent of the sun's rays while keeping you cool and dry with moisture wicking, quick dry and stretch nylon mesh insets for cooling ventilation. The natural stretch ensures long wear, comfort and easy care.

The long sleeve quarter zip top comes in several solid colors, but the plaid, flower and animal prints really add some flair to your sun protection regimen. Men's styles are also available. www.sansoliel.com

- Sydney Love golf accessories are hard not to love. The colors are bright and the patterns are fun like the green shoe bag. Other products include a golf getaway bag, day tote, shoulder bag, satchel, cross body bag, cosmetic pouch with tee holder, golf ball holder, clip-on accessory pouch, caddy bag and golf cart bag. This year the company also launched a line of one-of-a-kind golf bags.

The emphasis is on providing colorful, light weight bags that have stylish durable fabrics and a unique take on iconic golf imagery that is both fashionable and functional. www.sydneylovebags.com

- GG Blue does a nice job with its fall Enlighten group combining colors of silver, slate grey and a pop of yellow called glow in a three-piece outfit. The Elite vest is filled with thinsulate to keep you warm but doesn't look bulky. Underneath is the Liz tee that is moisture-wicking and anti-microbial.

The bottoms are the P135 Cool pant in slate made from GG Blue's signature lightweight performance fabric that is 52 percent Coolmax with lycra, and 8 percent polyester. The pants also have SPF 30 for sun protection and they have moisture management. Short, capri, clam digger, and skort styles are also available. www.ggblue.com

- Antas Signature belt collection by Roger Ximenez, lets you customize your belt by choosing the leather, color and stitching. First you measure your waist where you like to wear your pants with a sizing belt, and then pick one of the fine pebble grain, textured, suede or smooth Italian leathers in a variety of traditional and pop colors.

How about blue cobalt with orange stitching? Or grey with red? It's easy to end up with more than one belt. The "fitting system," in-stock programs and custom belt display programs are specially designed for golf pro shops. www.antasapparel.com


Good Looks (The Players Championship)

By Janice Ferguson

Tiger Woods didn't have near the outcome he had hoped for at The Players Championship, but what he wore for the third round was sharp enough to make the Good Looks cut. Here's what Nike told us it was:

The Speed Stripe Polo in white from the Tiger Woods collection has a bonded collar, snap button placket, all over stripe design and is made from Nike Dri-FIT fabric.

The TW Speed Stripe Polo features a very lightweight Dri-FIT fabric with an exceptional amount of stretch. The collar is engineered with interior laser cut perforation detail to enhance breathability. The Speed Stripe print detail is designed around the motion of Tiger's swing with variegated color detail. The suggested retail price is $95.

Woods' pants were a custom Nike pant

On his feet were the Nike Free-Inspired TW 13 in white. This shoe hits retail on June 8, and is a natural motion shoe with soft spikes and an integrated traction outsole.
