Fashions for Golf—and Beyond—Coming Soon to Chevy Chase

Gals on and off the Green will open in Chevy Chase in August, and will offer sportswear, casual wear and more.

A new women's clothing store coming to Chevy Chase next month aims to help bring fashion to the green...and beyond.

Gals on and off the Green, a Pittsburgh-based company, "has been offering a great selection of high quality, stylish sport and resort wear for women since June 1, 2004."

Its founder, Jackie Sorrenti, says that there can be "fit, fashion and function for women of all shapes and sizes"—Gals on the Green carries sizes zero to 24.

"Gals on and off the Green is really about helping women look and feel better about themselves, one 'Gal' at a time. We offer personal attention and style consultations for each of our customers, helping to accentuate their best features and their sense of personal style," Sorrenti said.

"We are excited about our new store opening in Chevy Chase. Expanding our retail footprint will not only strengthen our brand awareness, but will also increase our ability to help even more women feel great about themselves," she added.

Sorrenti came up with the idea for Gals on and off the Green when her former company (for which she was an information technology professional) "went through some growing pains, [and] I felt that perhaps a new career was in order."

"I decided to write a business plan for every idea I came up with—and the women’s golf, leisure and resort wear shop just really took off," she said.

Sorrenti owns and manages the original Pittsburgh store. Expansion beyond Pittsburgh had been on the horizon for a while, and Sorrenti and her business partner—her husband—had been evaluating the DC-Maryland-Virginia area for more than a year, she told Patch.

Along with golf wear and other sportswear, the shop offers "resort and other casual wear, as well as a great selection of holiday wear. We also carry a variety of accessories such as Brighton and other gift items, as well," she said.

The clothes are versatile. "Even if something we sell is built for sport, it is smart and stylish enough to be worn as day wear or out-to-dinner wear or on-vacation wear," Sorrenti added. 

"Our tagline is 'Lifestyle with Style'—and our fashions are stylish and suit the lives of busy, marathon-day, modern women," she said.

Gals on and off the Green will open at 5449 Wisconsin Ave., Chevy Chase (right behind Clyde’s), in August.
