How to Weave Tennis-Inspired Pieces Into Your Everyday Wardrobe

The Athleta Ace Tennis Dress ($89) might be built to perform, thanks to its compression fabric, built-in shorts, and pocket to store tennis balls. But this dress is equally appropriate for off-court fun, too. With a modern and minimal neckline and fitted construction, this sporty dress pairs easily with a cardigan, sandals, sneakers, and a purse.

In the realm of prepster sporty attire, the varsity cardigan reigns supreme. Try the Faherty Game Set Cardigan ($168) and matching short set to channel your inner retro tennis star.

Next to a dress, a classic pleated skirt like the Athleta Levitate Skort ($69) is about as synonymous with tennis apparel as it gets. We like this skort for many reasons, but one of the biggest highlights is its versatility. Take this breathable plaid skort to preppy or sporty, depending on your mood.

Another must for the tennis-inspired look: a polo. To avoid looking too much like you're going back to high school, opt for a modern tank version like the Athleta Everyday Polo Tank ($64). This lightweight piece is ready for both game time and lunch time.

Another way to affordably get the tennis look is through a quick sock upgrade. Try a pair like the Bombas Vintage Stripe Calf Sock ($38 for three) for a minimal varsity look that has major court appeal.

It's already been dubbed a summer must have, so there's no excuse not to add a sporty skort like the Athleta Ace Tennis Skort ($69) to your wardrobe. Sure, it's a top pick for those looking to incorporate a bit of court style into their wardrobe. However, it's also a comfortable, warm-weather essential. This stretchy skort boasts serious quick-drying and sweat-wicking properties.

Accessorize your newly anointed tennis wardrobe with a fresh take on a classic: a tennis bracelet. We love the Gen Z-approved Y2K brand BonBonWhims and its Adjustable Tinker Bell Tennis Bracelet ($56). Pair this delicate, whimsical piece with sneakers and a ball cap for a subtle nod to the tennis vibe.

Instead of a clunky sweatband, opt for the Athleta Vital Headband in Powervita ($14). This no-slip headband is both functional for your workout and stylish for your wardrobe.

Complete any tennis-club look with sleek sneaks. We love how the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage Shoes ($85) tie any of the prior pieces together with a touch of retro flair.

The Athleta Ace Tennis Skort ($69) is sure to level up your look with its unique marbleized print. But that's not all that's turning our heads. This skort features internal hem-grippers to help keep slippage at bay. Even better? You'd never know how hard this skort is working, thanks to its off-court-ready design.
