White golf shoes are an easy starting point when you want an outfit to feel pulled together. Choose one accent color from the shoe, repeat it once in your clothes, and keep the rest simple. A navy polo and white bottoms, for example, give a blue-trimmed shoe somewhere to belong without making everything match.

There’s a useful example in Lexi Thompson’s tournament style. Here’s the documented detail, plus two ways to translate it with pieces from the Golf Shop.

The Lexi Thompson detail worth borrowing

In its October 13, 2023 coverage of the Shriners Children’s Open, the PGA TOUR described Thompson’s white PUMA shoes with a black side stripe, white laces and a red Shriners logo. That was a specific tournament pair; the shoes below are current shopping alternatives with different designs and colors.

The styling idea is the contrast: a mostly white shoe with a small, deliberate accent. You can borrow that balance without recreating a professional’s whole outfit. The combinations here are editorial suggestions, not Thompson’s stated reasons for choosing her shoes or an endorsement by her.

For a softer look: white shoes with a blush accent

The PUMA Palermo G in White/Rosebay has a casual sneaker shape and a pale pink accent. Pair it with a white polo and a navy skort from your closet. The white top repeats the shoe’s base color; navy keeps the outfit grounded.

If you prefer to bring out the pink, swap the white top for a soft blush polo and keep the bottoms neutral. There’s no need to find a matching pink glove, hat and bag. One repeated color is enough. Browse the women’s golf clothing edit for more tops and skorts.

For a sharper look: blue trim and a navy top

The PUMA Avant 2 in White/Blue Crystal/Gum takes the same white-shoe idea in a more structured direction. Its blue detailing works with navy, while the gum-colored sole adds a warmer contrast.

Try it with the PUMA Aerlon Mock Sleeveless Polo in Deep Navy and white golf shorts or a white skort you already own. The polo’s zip neckline keeps the outfit simple. Macy’s lists the top with four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric; those are retailer specifications, rather than results from personal testing.

A navy top picks up the Avant 2’s blue detailing without needing an exact color match.

For a cool start, add a plain layer that you can remove without changing the outfit underneath. Try your full swing while wearing it: extra fabric through the torso or a tight shoulder can be distracting even when the outfit looks good standing still.

Are these women’s golf shoes waterproof?

Macy’s describes both linked PUMA styles as waterproof, and lists leather uppers. That is the retailer’s description, not a personal wet-weather test. Check the exact model’s care instructions and any waterproof warranty before buying; spikeless construction alone does not tell you whether a shoe keeps water out.

Spikeless golf shoes: check comfort and fit

Both linked shoe styles are women’s spikeless models. That describes their outsole design; it doesn’t guarantee the same fit or grip for every golfer or course. Check the retailer’s sizing, return terms and intended conditions before deciding. Try them with your golf socks, and make sure your heel stays secure without squeezing your toes.

The linked listings had limited size options when checked, so confirm your size before building a purchase around either pair. For other options, start with the women’s golf shoes edit. Check your course’s dress code for sleeveless tops, mock necks and skirt length as well.

For an outfit built around trousers instead, see the Nelly Korda trouser-style guide. Whether you choose a skort, shorts or trousers, the same simple approach works: let the shoe supply one small detail and give it room to stand out.
