On their website, the LET stated that the day one kit is one with a classic European feel as it includes a jacket that is hybrid and in stylish white and has ‘Team Europe’ printed down the right sleeve, ensuring players look smart on and off the course.

Day two will feature outfits with star tape details on the arms, giving a sporty look. The outfit can be paired with a bucket hat or cap with a centered Solheim Cup logo, which will be in a shade of metallic gold around the blue ‘Team Europe’ band.
