Wondering what to wear to a lawn bowls party or barefoot bowls? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

Speaking of a sport that’s played in an elegant and easy-going environment, the lawn bowl is the hidden gem for me.

Featuring the social side, gamesmanship, and perfectly moderate exercise, this is how you make new friends and have fun most refreshingly!

And guess what, Lawn bowling is surprisingly a perfect party theme.
Ahead, I’ve gathered 9 outfits if you are wondering what to wear to a lawn bowls party.
Enjoy!
1. Casual lawn bowl party look
While lawn bowling is not a very physically demanding sport, it can be exhausting because it requires a lot of coordination of different body parts.

So yes, I’d say dress in light layers so you can easily take the clothes on and off.
For the party attire, think of a cute off-shoulder dress, a crop top, or a linen co-ord set that looks as cute as it’s breathable.
2. Lawn bowls dress-up ideas: Print shirt
To stay cool for a lawn bowls party, you just can’t go wrong with a statement print shirt.

For guys, the straw hat and delightful floral shirt work wonders.

Think twice when you wear the exactly same shade of green as the lawn unless you want to be the chameleon!
3. Denim shorts for the lawn bowl party
Depending on whether there’s a specific dress code, you can always dress your usual clothes for the lawn bowl.

Think of a sleek white shirt and denim shorts.
I will avoid long jeans – it’s just too hot and not stretchy enough to play the barefoot bowl.
If you want extra coverage, go for the leggings or yoga pants instead.
4. Summery barefoot bowl outfit
For a wild and summery barefoot bowl, I’d say go wild with the hats and shirts!

An all-over watermelon shirt and short set and a tie-dye hat is always a good idea.
5. Thigh-high socks for barefoot bowls
For those who have been to barefoot bowls under the baking sun, you will know how hot that can be if you stand there for a long while.

If you want to feel good and look good at the same time, well, consider matching your cute polo dress with white thigh-high socks.
Trust me, this look is ultra-flattering!
6. All-white lawn bowl party
As the saying goes “If time were a color, I bet it would be a tasteful off-white”.
Is that just me but an all-white lawn bowl party just looks so perfect and elegant all together?

Whether that’s a birthday party or bridal shower, getting your family and friends dressed up in white is one of the coolest yet most effortless dress codes ever.

A white party is always lighthearted and purely enjoyable – especially with the lawn!
7. Retro lawn bowl party outfit
Speaking of a retro lawn bowl party, well, it’s time to be extra creative!
Depending on which era the party theme is, you can have loads of ideas from paisley dresses, and polka dots to long-beaded necklaces and flapper dresses!

For guys, a classic suspender outfit is such a failproof.
Together with the boater hat, this is how you stay preppy for the game day!

8. Wear the sunnies!
The lawn bowl party seems mild but still you will have to spend hours outdoors!

Wearing sunnies and applying sunscreen is always a good idea.
And when in doubt, have the high pony so you can enjoy the lawn bowl without fixing the hair at the time!
