Summertime Essentials Every Active Girl Should Have in Her Closet

Ideal for the budding tennis star, the Athleta Girl Swing Skort ($44) is lightweight and features built-in shorties and a pocket. Plus, the ruffled, tiered design makes this skort ready for post-tennis-practice fun, too.

Consider the Athleta Girl Havin' a Great Time Romper ($59) a true do-it-all piece. The drawstring romper is good to toss over a swimsuit or wear solo for a day of hanging with friends. The one-piece boasts a wrinkle-resistant design so it's packable and ready to go wherever your kid goes.

If there's one essential we're calling the It piece of summer, it's the skort, and the Athleta Girl Great Adventure Skort ($45) comes in top of our shopping list. Snag this quick-drying, breathable skort with UPF 50 for your kid who likes to have fun in the sun.

Is biking more their summer style? The Athleta Girl Stash Your Treasures Bike Short ($36) is the perfect match with its super-soft Powervita™ fabric. The high waist and side-pocket design make this short a must for biking — as well as hiking, walking, and running.

The Athleta Girl Doing the Most Dress ($65) might look like your standard tennis dress, but it can do so much more than get through practice. This abrasion-resistant, sweat-wicking play dress is our pick for any active kid. It's stretchy, breathable, and features adjustable crisscross straps for maximum comfort.

Another skort that makes our list is the Athleta Girl Run the World Skort ($45). Your kid will love the pebbled pattern and turquoise color, and you'll love the practical design with its adjustable waistband, hidden pocket, and UPF 50 protection.

Another summer essential? Tie dye. The Athleta Girl Daily Tie Dye Tee ($28) is stylish enough to wear outside of practice. Bonus points: we're confident your kid will love how the classic cotton tee is reimagined with a pastel tie-dye design.

Sometimes you just need a not-so-basic basic athletic short. The Athleta Girl All Play Farallon Short ($39) is just the pair to fit that bill. Built for sports practice, camp, and beyond, this cotton play short will stretch, move, and groove with your kid all summer long.

For those kids who like to spend time in the sun, safety is key. In addition to arming your kid with plenty of SPF, sunglasses, and hats, opt for a sun-ready top like the Athleta Girl Sunburst UPF Tee ($29). This vibrant tee boasts UPF 50+ for an extra layer of protection at the beach, pool, or soccer field.

Snag the Athleta Girl Run the World 3" Short ($35) for fit and function. The stretch design means it's comfortable to wear while playing, and the floral pattern makes a bold statement that's sure to give your kid the confidence and style they want.
