Living in one of the country's most desirable climates has its advantages. Whether it's winter or summer, you can play golf nearly every day of the year - in short sleeves, cotton pants, or just about any other lightweight material. Apparel companies recognize our wardrobe versatility and update many of their warmer-weather designs throughout the cooler months, giving golfers a range of sporty choices. If you're looking for something as basic as a polo, or a sweater or vest to keep you a bit warmer, check out this season's fashionable offerings from some of the golf world's top designers. Clean out the old and make room for new lines that are water resistant, moisture wicking and, best of all, comfortable. Continental Golf For a fitted look that's about as comfortable as it comes, Continental Golf's 100 percent fleece sweatshirt delivers a contemporary feel. The Continental Fleece Zip Sweatshirt ($42.99) in black is perfect for a chilly afternoon or colder evening. For more information, visit continentalgolfwear.com. Tattoo Golf Tattoo Golf gives you good reason to swing your clubs with attitude with its take on the timeless argyle design. The jersey knit Argyle Polo ($39.99) is constructed of 100 percent pre-shrunk cotton, a three wood-tone button placket and side vent with drop tails and features Tattoo Golf's signature logo. Available in black or white. For more, visit tattoogolf.com. Ben Hogan Get a real tip from a pro - look good and you'll play even better. Ben Hogan's line features an updated take on the classic ultra-soft Merino wool argyle sweater ($159). Paired with wool gabardine trousers ($125), the fresh saffron hues will take you on and off the course in style. Available at uomosport.com. Dunning Golf If you're looking for something that offers a bit more warmth than a shirt, but without the restriction of a jacket, Dunning Golf has a fantastic Tour Stretch Vest ($300). The Tour Stretch Outerwear Line adjusts to weather conditions and body heat. The lightweight fabric is also waterproof and stain-repelling and wicks away moisture. Available in black, stone (beige), surf (light blue) and lake (deep blue) and grey. For more information, visit dunninggolf.com. ECCO Golf Shoes ECCO combines breathability, waterproof technology and the comfort of high-grade leather with a snappy new look. The World Class City GTX golf shoe ($400) is a favorite with golf pros and amateurs alike. Available in white and rustic brown snakeskin and white with black snakeskin.

The cutting-edge company is also eco-conscious with its Remix top ($75), made of 52 percent organic cotton, 48 percent polyester. We especially like the pocket design and snappy block print on the shoulder. In addition to Mid Grey/Sky, the Remix top comes in Orange/Mid Grey and White/Money.
