The Country Club lifestyle has long been an integral part of Washington life, and rumor has it that almost as many power deals have been made over drives-and-drinks on the links as on "K" Street. Nothing says "County Club" like golf, and what you wear on the course or clubhouse can say volumes about you … luxury fabrics, the latest equipment and state-of-the-art accessories are all part of the game. "Preppy" looks have always prevailed for golf (and still do), but today's rising stars and young pros also demand comfort and performance from their fashion classics. Natural fibers like cotton and linen will always be in vogue, but increasingly golfers are choosing blended fabrics that provide stretch, flexibility, durability and often have "wicking" properties. Once you hit the 19th Hole all fashion bets are off and it's all about the look, attitude, and chic nonchalance.
