Ladies’ apparel company Birdies and Bows was the brainchild of Lori Wood and the company’s beginning bears a strong resemblance to something that many women often say, “I’ve got nothing to wear,” as they stand in their oversized closet overflowing with all kinds of apparel!
Lori Wood’s frustrations began on Ladies’ Day at her local club. She was tired of never being able to find great-fitting golf attire for women. The local clubs and shops didn’t carry any golf apparel that she considered to be trendy or fashionable. They offered golf apparel that she could worn on the golf course, but she didn’t feel comfortable wearing to the grocery, or picking up the kids from school.
Wood wanted something that was figure-flattering, moved with her, looked good, and could be worn on, or off the course. With a strong background in sewing and a drive for adventure, Birdies and Bows was born. And the rest, as they say, is history!
Birdies and Bows’ Fall 2022 collection features ladies’ tops and bottoms that have great moisture-wicking properties and UPF 30 sun protection woven into the fabric. Their clothing is figure-flattering and is designed for women of all shapes and sizes. For the most part, all garments are available in sizes XS – XXL. They have a great logo, too, which is a cute little birdie with a big ‘ole bow on its head!
The Rim Cup Golf Polo in a Water Waves print is a part of its new Classic Collection. The contrasting mock collar with a button placket adds a stylish look. This sleeveless polo pairs well with Birdies and Bows’ new Drive It Golf Skort Long. This pull-on skort with elastic waistband creates a flattering look while the two front and two back pockets provide ample storage. There’s also a hidden front hip pocket. The knit brief shorties are sewn in and the silicone grippers keep everything where it should be. The new pattern and color black with Water Waves allow you to tie in several polo top options. It’s available in a variety of sizes and is great for teams, too.
Cold mornings call for warm garments. Birdies and Bows’ Front Nine Full-Zip Jacket is perfect to combat the morning chill. The front pockets are big enough to store your cell phone, car keys, credit card, and a small stash of cash. Some styles feature micro pleating detail at the center back with a contrasting color. The Front Nine Jacket is available in either hot pink or medium blue with hot pink contrasts.
This is just a small sample of what Birdies and Bows has in store for the ladies. You can see the complete collection at www.birdiesandbows.com.
