Like so many others looking for a socially distant sport or activity during Covid, I picked tennis back up a few years ago. Until then, I hadn’t played tennis in any real way in a looong time. I played a lot as a kid and then took it up again for several months as an adult when Andrew and I lived in Park City (did we ever talk about that story? Will have to tell you it some day), but in a low-key, just us hitting way, so I didn’t invest in a tennis wardrobe at the time. And since I hadn’t played tennis seriously since I was probably 14, I didn’t have any cute tennis outfits when I took the sport back up during Covid, and I wasn’t sure what to wear to play tennis given how much time had passed. I mean I knew the basics, but I wasn’t sure if skirts were still happening or if tennis dresses were more trendy or what tennis outfits for women there were out there these days, but I love a sport with an aesthetic so I dove right into tennis fashion along with lessons.
I’m a firm believer that dressing for your workout will make you more excited to do it. Plus, tennis outfits for women in particular can be so cute (thanks Serena!), so when I started playing tennis again, I was excited to do some shopping. I really love tennis, and it’s become a fun activity for Andrew and I to do that we hope to do as a whole family once the kids get a bit older, so I knew investing in my tennis wardrobe would be money well spent. Plus, tennis clothes tend to stand the test of time too — I still wear a tennis skirt I have from high school.
Once I started looking though, I found there is a dearth of cute tennis clothes for women, especially tennis whites, as our club is whites only. Luckily, I’ve been seeing more and more tennis dresses, skirts, tops and shoes recently, so I think retailers are catching on to tennis’ growing popularity. I am sad to say that all my hard work on the tennis courts got lost when I took time off again to have Brooks and then I started to get back into it after I had him, but when we moved, I got derailed. I have really been missing it, so I signed up for a weekly clinic and can’t wait to get back into it — and dress the part lol. I’ve managed to find some really great tennis outfits everywhere from Amazon to some of my favorite sporty retailers like Tory Burch. If you’ve taking up the sport again and are looking for cute tennis outfits for women, or aren’t sure what to wear to play tennis, I’ve rounded up a bunch of cute options.
