Everything You’ll Need at the Masters

The Masters is almost here. But you know that. You’ve already perfected your golf clap, accepted 13 after-party invitations and nailed Bubba Watson’s hairstyle. All that’s left to do: get ready for opening day. Below, five tournament essentials you’ll adorn yourself in next week.

FOR THE TORSO

A Masters-Green Polo from Billy Reid

What: A jersey cotton polo with a buttoned placket and chest pocket. That happens to be an extremely similar shade to that one jacket’s.
Why: It’s casual. It’s handsome. And it’s the perfect color to assert your allegiance in. We won’t tell the Braves.

FOR THE FEET

White Bucks. Because... White Bucks.

What: A pair of blindingly white bucks that won’t betray you by day two. They’ll stand up in the grass and sandpits. In case you’re somehow standing in sandpits.
Why: You’ll be doing lots of walking across Augusta National. These will make you look better when you’re doing that. Which is crucial. Kind of.

FOR THE HAIR

Sid Mashburn in Umbrella Form

What: Golf umbrella. Sunshade. Whatever you want to call it. It’s tartan and polyester and has a solid wooden handle.
Why: Because you can’t predict the weather, dammit. Or maybe it’s not even about the weather. Maybe you just need a nice-looking prop over your head. We’ll allow it.

FOR THE LEGS

Your Super-Preppy Pants Are Right Here

What: Absurdly comfortable pants. Vintage-style twills (think melon, blue and orange) that’ll make getting from point 1 to point 18 much more leisurely looking.
Why: Next week, you’re a golf spectator. Accept it. But hey, cheer up. You’ll be spectating in some really sharp pants. So there you go.

FOR THE ARMS

What You’ll Wear When It’s All Over

What: A blue-on-blue plaid blazer that’s part silk, part wool and part linen. Aka the blazer trifecta.
Why: You’ll need something to set yourself apart at the Green Jacket Ceremony. The solution: wear blue. Then have a private Blue Jacket Ceremony in your head.
