As the summer sun warms the courts, fashion is serving up a love game of its own. Enter the “tenniscore” aesthetic — think pleated skirts that would make Blair Waldorf swoon, paired with cable knit vests and crisp polos that scream “trust fund baby” (in the best possible way, of course). The preppy, performance-minded aesthetic is not only embraced by tennis icons such as Naomi Osaka but also won the hearts of It-girls the likes of Sabrina Carpenter and IVE’s Wonyoung. And with the release of Zendaya‘s sensational tennis drama Challengers (cue: all of Zendaya’s tennis-inspired red carpet outfits), it is clear that tenniscore is not going anywhere just yet. Want to earn some style points this season? Browse our tennis-inspired curation of pieces below and get ready to storm the courts…of fashion, that is.

Prepped & Polo-ished

Classic polo shirts and chic collared vests can be easily dressed up or down to suit any occasion.

Rallying To The Top

Not playing on court but still want to dress to impress? Lend a sophisticated touch to your courtside look by throwing on a v-neck cable knit vest or a varsity-inspired jumper.

Volleying for Attention

Give your look a flirty, sporty spin with crisp bright pleated tennis skirts, an iconic staple. The classic, A-line silhouettes echo the outfits of tennis fashion icons such as Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. Transcending the sport, tennis skirts have become a versatile, feminine wardrobe essential that adds a touch of retro charm. 

Dress to Impress

For a modern, feminine take on classic tennis style, reach for a streamlined tennis dress. Channelling the sport’s vintage silhouettes, these sleeveless or short-sleeved designs feature a fitted bodice and clean raised neckline – a flattering shape that allows for effortless movement both on and off the court. The tennis dress offers a sophisticated, sporty-chic option that stands apart from standard sundresses.
