Fashion Fiasco

When the LPGA decided to sharpen up its dress code, many saw it as a not-so-subtle jab at Paige’s closet. Banishing plunging necklines, leggings, and short skirts, all staples in Paige’s wardrobe, seemed more like a personal critique. Not one to be silenced, she refused to take this sartorial scrutiny lying down.

Within days of the clothing crackdown, she penned an op-ed lampooning the LPGA’s fashion policing, famously declaring women’s golf was sinking “lower than our necklines.” Support from Fox News followed as they echoed the sentiment that the sports association was being less about dress propriety and more about player disparagement.
