Besides, wouldn’t it just be great to make a statement as you sashay onto the court? 

If you’re ready toserve up some seriously stylish looks, then you’re in the right place. In this article, we give you this go-to guide on tennis attire, and share a few winningtennis outfits designed to help you slay on the court. 

Is there a dress code for tennis?

Like golf, the dress code for tennis has been tweaked throughout the years to keep up with the times. Most casual courts don’t have strict rules regarding women’stennis outfits,so you're in the clear even if your attire is a cocktail of colors. 

However, if you’re at a private tennis club or playing professionally, note that the rules may be stricter than that of public clubs or casual matches. In addition, most tournaments like Wimbledon will only allow players to step onto the court if they wear all-white. Color on the side seams or trim may be permitted, but only if it’s less than 10 centimeters wide. To be sure, it’s best to call your club before going. 

What should women wear to tennis?

It’s worth noting that most clubs will only tell you what color to wear, and what length your clothes should be. It’s up to you to pick clothes that not are not only dress-code-appropriate but are also built for play.  Here are a few practical pointers for putting together atennis outfit

Reach for a sweat-proof top

Ladies, we know you don’t like it when your shirt gets all sweaty and clings to your skin. So when choosing which tennis top to wear, go for the one made of moisture-wicking material. That way, you can stay dry, cool, comfortable, and focused on what matters—your match! 

Stay covered with a stylish skort

Shorts are a popular choice for tennis, but they can be prone to riding up. Skirts, on the other hand, are a huge wardrobe malfunction risk, especially in sports where you have to run around. 

Enter the skort. With built-in shorts and the style of skirts, it offers both form and function so you can play with confidence, knowing that it’s got you covered—literally.

Opt for materials that move with you

Tennis is the type of sport where you’ll have to move swiftly. The last thing you’d want is for yourtennis outfit to slow you down, so be sure to wear clothes that offer maximum flexibility. Opt for pieces made from materials such as spandex, nylon, and polyester.
