Cool, rainy, windy weather at the Northern Trust Open this weekend at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California has seen the emergence of men in black.

Be they fine merino sweaters or full on rain gear, black is definitely back, adding a certain air of sophistication to the proceedings. Sit back, relax, and savour the style candy.
