Ask BB: What to Wear to a Charity Golf Tournament

I am volunteering at a charity golf tournament. I am not golfing but it is a company event and I want a cute yet appropriate outfit. Any suggestions? Shoes? —bridgetsobs

I'm picturing a hot, sunny golf course and lots of running around, so I'd recommend wearing your favorite white bottoms (shorts, capris or cargos) to keep cool and a flattering polo in your favorite bright color. Add stylish yet comfortable sneakers like mini-striped Keds, sunglasses and a light cotton hoodie in case you need to cover up. Bring a tote that you can toss under a table with essentials like sunscreen, water and a floppy hat. Here are some cheap-chic items to help you envision your golf charity outing look, click on any item for details:

I so appreciate all your diverse but totally attainable advise. I can actually afford to buy the things you recommend.

I actually nominated you for a silly but fun blog award. I would love seeing your 5 favorite budget pairs of shoes.

The last time I went to a work-sponsored golf outing, I wore Bermuda shorts and a polo shirt with tennis shoes. If yours is work-sponsored, I would encourage you to cover your shoulders (no tank tops) and be modest with shorts/skirt length. You might also find out the dress code at the golf course as well, in case it's a country club.
