PAT PEREZ 2016 Pat Perez’s style leans
loud, like his unfiltered and entertaining opinions, but even when he tones down his look, there’s something off about his flat brim. Perez showed up here looking like a Vegas driving-range hustler. It’s hard to focus on the red- and-black striped shirt until you forcibly look away and land on a pair of shoes better fit for the climbing gym than the golf course. The black glove is one step too far.
SHINGO KATAYAMA 2010 Respect is due to a man who made cowboy culture shine on the course, but this 2010 look pushes boundary breaking style too far. Hard to hate the pants had he toned down the rest of the fit, but the polo and belt and buckle combo are too noisy. Add a hat that says “milady,” and you’ve got a bit of a mess. Thankfully, this was
an outlier in an otherwise bold and beautiful aesthetic career.
JOHN DALY Lifetime Achievement in Excess The offences that are John Daly’s pants are more complicated than what’s screaming in your face. Surely Daly helped birth a generation of guys you love to get paired with – consuming in excess topped only by that of their trousers. That is to say, there’s charm in Daly’s overindulgence, but it doesn’t excuse him from a few demerits, in- cluding but not limited to when the fabric that could have been used for several good blankets was patched into pants. Otherwise, it’s all love for Daly, who followed a key style rule in keeping the polo simple – and we think the buzz cut looks good on him.
