About the Brand
About
While traditional sportswear is made for the gym, lounging, and errands, A. PUTNAM transitions seamlessly into workwear, dinner outings, and a refined lifestyle. We like to say we flex up, not down. Our collection is sophisticated, timeless and intentionally designed for women who demand both performance and elegance in every aspect of their wardrobe. At its core, A. PUTNAM is about more than golf. It’s about empowering women to feel confident, capable, and authentic whether they’re on the course, in a boardroom, or at dinner with friends. The brand’s community includes women who may never pick up a club, but who share a desire for clothing that matches their ambition, style, and sense of self.
Founding Story
A. PUTNAM was created out of my desire to provide women with polished, sophisticated lifestyle pieces that perform – from resort to sport.
Our goal is to give you timeless options that fit your life, so you can move confidently from brunch, to the course, to the club, without sacrificing style or comfort. The A. PUTNAM collections also honor the tradition of golf with subtle details and features that bring a modern touch to classic looks.
Women's clothing has evolved to meet a need for transition pieces that look great at the resort but also function in life and sport. I saw an opportunity to create an athstyle brand and empower women with comfortable, versatile performance apparel that works on the course without sacrificing luxury and style. While I’m an entrepreneur at heart, I’m also a busy mom of five boys, so I appreciate garments that can flex with my day. A. PUTNAM tnam is my way of helping women achieve that flexibility.
I’m so excited to bring you our collection of minimalist styles that make a maximum impact. These timeless pieces offer classic, yet modern, silhouettes for an effortlessly elegant look, and feature performance fabrics and subtle design details – all intended to move seamlessly with you from resort to sport.I hope to make your life – and game – a little bit easier and full of joy!
~ Ali Putnam

'Who's she?': Meet the visionaries behind the companies setting a new standard for women's golf wear
While Ali Putnam was growing up, her parents kept a house in Italy. Putnam remembers summers spent sipping sparkling mint drinks, taking long bike rides and accepting homemade cookies from the neighborhood nonnas—all the while harboring a dream of working in fashion. Over the years she fine-tuned her expert eye for tailoring and design, inspired by the easy, romantic European sensibility of her second home. Now an Ohio-based mother of five boys, Putnam considers her golf brand to be her “baby girl.” It certainly receives that level of care, love and attention. The “resort to sport” line features silky button-downs, celadon knitwear and pleated scallop-hemmed “tulip” trousers you can easily transition from the course and beyond. The latest collection, photographed across the pond in the Royal Gardens of Austria, offers a more whimsical approach to golf wear—think beachy wicker visors and breathy, watercolored florals.

Golf Fashion Is Quickly Evolving As the Game Continues to Thrive
A. Putnam women’s brand gets my nod for exemplifying this trend. You’ll see a couple of special prints in the spring collection, inspired by European royal gardens, but the floral is a subtle custom design so you won’t see it anywhere else. Other than that, founder Ali Putnam is a stickler for neutrals, so pieces can be worn several different ways, and all merchandise beautifully comes together.

The 8 Best Bike Shorts of 2023 for All Your Summer Athleisure Looks
Shape Names A. PUTNAM Best Bike Shirts with Pockets | “Pockets can make or break your experience with bike shorts. If having your hands free so that you can focus on the task at hand is important to you, look no further. These bike shorts were designed for golfers, but if you love plenty of pockets, we think you’ll love these too. These bike shorts have four pockets — two per side — and varying sizes. If you have trouble with shorts riding up, you’ll love the silicone grippers on the bottom hem. However, these shorts do not have as much compression as some of our other top picks, so if that’s an important quality to you, we recommend going with another pick. If you are a golfer, they feature golf tee holders to boot!”
