In a world where fashion mirrors the zeitgeist, we stood no chance against the massive tenniscore comeback this summer. “Challengers” and “Federer” premiers, together with the annual Wimbledon tournament, major old-money trend, and numerous tennis-themed fashion collabs, inspired another wave of athletic aesthetics, bringing once again polo shirts, pleated skirts, and their ilk off the court to the streets. So, let’s enjoy the feast of sophistication and figure out how to serve a perfect look by adapting tennis elements to daily life.
White colour has always been one of the main staples of tennis wear due to its symbolism and practicality during outdoor matches, and even prestigious tournaments require players to dress predominantly in it. Elegant and clean, it reflects the heat and creates a crisp refreshing look that will work perfectly for hot active days, so why don’t you give it a try? Don’t waste time on trifles and venture to go all-in with the total white look.
Another ingredient of tenniscore is preppy style, so feel free to integrate college-inspired pieces, such as vintage-looking bomber jackets with patches or cable knits into your wardrobe.
One thing that can’t be left behind is a tennis skirt. Pleated or straight, white or coloured, it is nearly synonymic with tennis-referred fashion. Quote it literally and wear it with polos, loose t-shirts, or sweatshirts for a sporty look, or mix it with knits, blazers or shirts for a casual intake.
Tip: check out tennis skorts that consist of two layers, combining shorts with a skirt. You’ll be surprised how much they elevate your comfort level!
Another way to add a touch of tenniscore to your outfits is by replacing your to-go tops with polo shirts.
Want to take tenniscore effortlessly? Then opt for a tennis dress.
As for layering, take note of zipped cardigans and sweatshirts.
Details matter, so don’t forget accessories. While packing for holidays, take a leaf out of tennis players coming to the court with oversized duffle bags and get one for yourself — for example, similar to the one Jannik Sinner recently carried to one of Wimbledon’s matches.

Last, but not least — jewelry. Keep it classy with iconic diamond tennis bracelets or have fun with themed charms.
