The sun is shining brighter than it has in months (at least in New York City), making it prime time to slip into some cute tennis outfits and hit the courts! This early spring weather is the best, thanks to a combination of the rays’ warmth tempered by a cool breeze that allows for both tennis dresses and skirts to be paired with warmer layers.

Tennis is a sport that has been long adored by fashion, and tenniscore as an aesthetic is currently having a major moment with the release of Luca Guadagnino’s new anticipated film Challengers. From the movie trailer, we know Zendaya will be wearing the most stylish ensembles thanks to JW Anderson, who designed the costumes, but we are currently admiring the tennis-inspired looks she has donned during her press tour.
Tennis dress codes continue to inspire the runways and, more than ever before, there are many fashion-forward tennis brands to choose from. The beauty of tennis apparel is that the classic pieces, such as a crisp white pleated tennis skirt or a V-neck cable knit sweater, will always be relevant and in style. For a fail-safe chic ensemble, keep it classic and minimal. Whether you’re a spectator or a player, we have five stylish tennis outfits below to help you ace the look.
The Polished Player
This relaxed boxy polo and pleated skirt combination is simple and elegant. To bring the combination to another level, accessorize with a dazzling tennis bracelet and bright white canvas sneakers.
The Effortless Spectator
Throw on a roomy blue striped button down over a white ribbed tank top and track shorts to watch the game. Chic, easy, and cool!
No-Fuss Performance Tennis Whites
Straightforward technical tennis whites will allow you to focus solely on the match.
The Courtside Classic
A polo dress is a quintessential tennis staple. This version by Staud is great to wear on or off the court. If you decide to wear it without any intention of swinging a racket, we suggest giving it a ’60s/’70s feel with a gold medallion pendant, bamboo-handle bag, beige Mary Janes, and oversized tortoiseshell sunglasses?
The Sleek and Sporty
Criss-cross back straps with a scoop neck and contrasting navy trim elevate this clean tennis dress. A small gold hoop and matching white visor add a feminine touch, but the serious performance sneakers make it clear to your opponent that you are in it to win!
