Other Sports New LPGA Dress Code: Are You Slutting Kidding Me?

vailpass · 07-17-2017, 11:21 AM

The LPGA has introduced a stricter dress code for its players that some are describing as "body shaming."

Starting Monday, tour pros will not be able to wear shirts with plunging necklines, leggings, or short skirts.

LPGA President Vicki issued the new guidelines in an email, which quickly drew criticism from Teen Vogue magazine.

"[W]e don't see why someone can't look professional in leggings," the magazine stated in an article on Sunday. "If anything, policing these women's bodies and clothes takes away from their professional accomplishments. And if the sport wants a positive image, body-shaming is not the way to get it."

Golfer Paige Spiranac, who has been criticized for wearing revealing clothes on the course, also weighed in.

What are everyone's thoughts on @LPGA dress code policy? Are they trying to show class against #golfbabes or behind the times? pic.twitter.com/jCjK03rpJ9

Untucked shirts, and clothes that don't fit (too tight or loose) should be added. Because I think that looks unprofessional as well too
12:08 AM - 16 Jul 2017

Racerback with a mock or regular collar are allowed (no collar = noracerback)
Plunging necklines are NOT allowed.
Leggings, unless under a skort or shorts, are NOT allowed
Length of skirt, skort, and shorts MUST be long enough to not see your bottom area (even if covered by under shorts) at any time, standing or bent over.
Appropriate attire should be worn to pro-am parties. You should be dressing yourself to present a professional image. Unless otherwise told “no,” golf clothes are acceptable.
Dressy jeans are allowed, but cut-offs or jeans with holes are NOT allowed.
Workout gear and jeans (all colors) NOT allowed inside the ropes
Joggers are NOT allowed

The new rules come just months after the LPGA said it would allow athleticwear on the course, and a day after Sung Hyun Park, 34, from South Korea won the U.S. Open Championship, edging out runner up Hye Jin Choi by two strokes.
