My Thoughts on Fashion

Play with the boys.  Dress like a girl!

Meet the new American classic.

Van Linsey's boutique-style collection of golf and resort apparel provides you with feminine, comfortable, updated classics to wear on and off the golf course. 

No trendy colors.  No bold prints.  No "European-inspired" designs.  The Van Linsey collection is inspired by and made for the classic American woman.

Mainstream meets maternity at Van Linsey

We all know the old saying... necessity is the mother of invention.  Momma-to-be Vanessa Gobes,  designer/owner of Van Linsey, turned her growing belly into this season's latest must-have on the golf course.  Searching high and low and finding nothing for the pregnant golfer, Vanessa decided to turn out her own petit collection of transitional sportswear:  four jersey pieces that each look great on all belly types - flat, growing, round, or shrinking.  That's right!  Anyone can wear these easy, hip looks.

Below, both model Lealyn and expecting designer Vanessa wear the same shirt, same size!  Lealyn is also wearing "Every Putter's Pedal Pushers", Van Linsey's linen blend mainstream capris with puckered patch pockets available for spring.  Vanessa wears our mainstream to maternity jersey pants with comfy fold-down waistband - an easy fit for any size waistline.  Price available Fall 2008. 


Going green this season?

Our two beautiful swim cover-ups are just in time for Summer 2008.  Go from lounging to lunching without having to strip off your suit.  Both dresses made of eco-friendly bamboo fabric. Call or click to order 781.369.4144 orders@vanlinsey.com.

Shown below is "Halter Ego", a tie neck dress with side zip and smocked back to make for easy fit.  Looks crisp and chic on a warm summer day.  $159.

  

 Shown below is "The Swim".  This trapeze style cover up has smocking at the chest that flares into a adorable ruffle collar with ties.  A great classic look for a stylish woman of any age.  A must-have for a busy poolside mom at the country club.  This loose-fitting dress will cover your curves and prevent wardrobe malfunctions when the kids grab and tug!  $159.

  And for the pitter-putters...  Country Club Kids.

Beside every hip Momma (or Auntie...  or Granny...) is an even hipper little kid.  Applique t-shirts look fun and sporty on your favorite pint-size golfer, swimmer or tennis player.  Available in tons of colors and prints.  $35.

       

Also available, the "I Wanna Wear It Everyday Dress".  Aptly named by designer Vanessa Gobes' daughter who does just that.  Just right for Sunday brunch at the club or playing in the park.  A must-have for any little girl.  $75.   


 

The Golf Belt: Not just for keeping your britches up anymore.

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize.  Wear it high or low - this colorful waist-cincher spices up your most basic of basics.  Golf detail so discreet you can wear it everyday!  Fits standard belt loops.  Lots of new colors and punchy prints from which to choose.  Email info@vanlinsey.com to see swatches.  $48.


Made in USA.  Gotta love that! 

All VAN LINSEY designs are original, hand-stitched in Boston’s hip and trendy south end. Children’s clothing and golf belts manufactured in suburban Winchester, Massachusetts. Tees manufactured in glamorous LA and appliqued in Winchester, Massachusetts.
