Tennis fashion certainly isn't new to mainstream style, but this season, athletes and celebrities alike are helping to breathe new life into the trend. Tenniscore first made waves throughout the viral "Challengers" press tour that took place earlier in 2024 when Zendaya paid homage to her superstar character through a range of tennis styles. Now, with the sport's biggest stars competing at the 2025 US Open this week, social media has been abuzz over all of the cute tenniscore moments seen in the stands and on the court, across beauty, lifestyle, and more.
The tennis trend is all about pulling inspiration from on-the-court icons like Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, Taylor Townsend, or Venus Williams, the latter who wore a $45 tennis dress from H&M for a doubles match during the tennis tournament. You then take that inspo and blend it with everyday styles that are designed to be worn anywhere — think pleated tennis skirts, visors, and preppy vests. And if you're inspired to pick up one of Osaka's Labubus and work it into your wardrobe, that counts as tenniscore, too.
How to Shop the Tenniscore Trend
While Zendaya's infamous Loewe tennis ball pumps might not be within your shopping means (cue the collective sigh), dozens of major brands are embracing the tenniscore trend with their own affordable collections that are designed to help you earn major style points — in your home, wardrobe, and even on the court.
Nike tennis skirts are all the rage on TikTok at the moment, but other athletic apparel labels like Athleta, Girlfriend Collective, and Lululemon debuted new tennis-inspired styles that'll help you serve up looks this season. Tenniscore beauty is an enduring trend with nail polish the color of tennis balls and hydrating foundation designed to give you a natural, dewy glow. You'll find sporty prints and tennis-themed coffee table books from home retailers like Serena & Lily or West Elm. And if you're hoping to take your athletic talents to the tennis court, you can shop out bestselling tennis gear online — including tennis rackets and workout shoes — from affordable brands like Amazon and Nordstrom.
Ahead, we curated a guide for how to shop the tennis trend, with products that'll help you ace the preppy aesthetic, regardless of your interests or budget.
Tenniscore Beauty: An Anti Perspirant Spray
Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Dry Spray in Cool Essentials ($8)
Tenniscore isn't just about the aesthetic; it's also about products that can survive an actual day of playing the sport — or watching tennis in the sun. This antiperspirant dry spray from Dove offers 72-hour odor and sweat protection while keeping your underarms smooth and impossibly soft. Even better, it smells like pear and cucumber.
Tenniscore Beauty: Green Nail Polish
OPI Nail Lacquer in Clear Your Cache ($12)
Pale green nail polish is a low-stakes way to embrace the tenniscore trend. This shade from OPI is so understated and chic — and you can apply several coats if you want a bolder effect.
Tenniscore Beauty: Hydrating Foundation
Fenty Beauty Soft'Lit Naturally Luminous Hydrating Longwear Foundation ($42)
Tenniscore beauty calls for a natural, sun-kissed glow and the look is easily achievable with Fenty Beauty's hydrating foundation. Formulated to look like your skin, it's waterproof, long-lasting, and reduces shine for a soft, luminous finish.
Tenniscore Fashion: A Green Sports Bra
The Gym People Longline Sports Bra ($18, originally $25)
Whether you're running around on the tennis court or just running errands on the weekend, you'll feel supported, comfortable, and stylish in this longline sports bra. Unlike traditional sports bras, this tennis top is fitted more like a cropped camisole that provides extra coverage on the tummy, ensuring you can wear it like a normal top without feeling too overexposed.
Tenniscore Fashion: A Dad Hat
Urban Outfitters Snoopy Tennis Washed Dad Hat ($30)
This dad hat offers a more nostalgic take on tennis fashion and features a cute Snoopy print on the front of the accessory. Wear it with a vest tank, tennis skirt, and athletic shoes for your next match; it'll help to complete any tennis outfit with a bit more character and keep your face protected from the sun.
Tenniscore Fashion: A Tennis Skirt
NikeCourt Dri-FIT Victory Tennis Skirt ($43, originally $60)
When we think of tennis fashion, we can't help but think of a fitted tennis skirt. Over the years, tennis skirts have evolved from basic skort-silhouettes to pleated pieces that are equal parts stylish and practical. This Nike tennis skirt is loved by athletes and fashion influencers alike for its inner shorts, which help to prevent chafing and ensure full coverage through even the most intense matches.
Tenniscore Fashion: A Tennis Dress
H&M Soft Move Tennis Dress ($38, originally $45)
We'd sign up for tennis lessons just so that we'd have an excuse to wear this tennis dress more often. As seen on Venus Williams during the US Open, this dress is designed to look like a tank and tennis skirt rolled into one. It's constructed with H&M's proprietary activewear material: Soft Move fabric (for comfort and contouring support) and Dry Move (to keep moisture at bay). Shop it in white and black colorways.
Tenniscore Fashion: Tennis Sneakers
On The Roger Advantage Tennis Sneaker ($95, originally $140)
Leave it to On to create a pair of tennis shoes so versatile, they fit the look of an everyday sneaker. This style was actually designed in collaboration with tennis superstar Roger Federer, which means they're athlete-approved. Best of all, the shoes are equipped with a cloud-like sole that'll literally put an extra bounce in your step.
CUT
Tenniscore Fashion: A Tennis Charm
Kinn x Sunset Tennis Club Ball And Racquet Charm Pearl ($280)
For a more subtle nod to tenniscore, add this sweet charm to your necklace or bracelet. The tiny tennis racket, part of a collab between Kinn Studio and Sunset Tennis Club, is adorned with a little pearl ball, the sweetest touch that will definitely earn some double takes. And it's 14k solid gold, so it can withstand your sweatiest matches and the post-game shower, all without tarnishing.
Tenniscore Fashion: A Tennis Tote
Mark and Graham Raffia Tennis Tote ($199)
Unlike traditional, bulky tennis bags, this Mark and Graham style reimagines the accessory through a large, tote-inspired lens that features an outside pocket for your tennis racket. You can carry this to work and then hit the tennis courts immediately after.
Tennis Core Fashion: A Crystal Labubu
A-Morir Althea Glitterson Labubu ($502)
If you too were influenced by Naomi Osaka's stunning Labubu collection, pick up her exact crystal-covered charm from A-Morir. Covered in premium crystals, the accessory pays homage to legendary pioneering athlete Althea Gibson with its white tennis outfit and wooden racquet.
Tennis Home Decor: Tennis Racket Salad Serves
Callie Personalized Tennis Racket Salad Servers ($28, originally $31)
With these tennis racket utensils, you'll be able to serve your guests with ease (literally) and become a champion host in the process. The salad servers can also be customized with special writing at an additional cost.
Tennis Home Decor: A Tennis Beach Towel
West Elm Tennis Scene Beach Towel ($30)
You might not be able to play a proper tennis match on the beach, but with this themed beach towel, at least you'll be able to showcase your love for the sport. The product is made from a sheared velour material that's gentle on skin and fast-absorbing, so you can dry off quickly.
Tennis Home Decor: A Tennis Coffee Table Book
"The Stylish Life" Coffee Table Book by Ben Rothenberg ($39, originally $55)
Tennis fashion certainly isn't a new trend, and this coffee table book aims to showcase that through a series of photographs (old and new) which celebrate the sport's storied legacy and influence around the world. Who knows — you might even get inspiration for your next tennis outfit after reading through it.
Tennis Home Decor: Tennis Artwork
Serena & Lily "Bounce" by SJ Johnson Artwork ($396, originally $495)
For something a bit more abstract, go for this tennis artwork from SJ Johnson. The simple image features a cool color palette that could work in a variety of spaces, from a hallway to a bathroom and beyond. We love the uniqueness of this piece and the fact that it's available to shop in three separate sizes.
Tennis Gear and Equipment: Tennis Balls
Wilson Prime All Court Tennis Ball ($6)
If you play tennis on the regular, then you already know that you can never have too many tennis balls. Some recreational courts and parks have balls on hand that you can purchase, but we find that it's easier (and frankly more affordable) to travel with your own set.
Tennis Gear and Equipment: A Tennis Bag
Ytonet Tennis Bag ($18, originally $23)
As much as we love that chic tennis tote from Mark and Graham, this pocketed tennis bag might be a more practical option if you travel with a water bottle, tennis racket, or any other court essentials. This accessory also features zippered compartments which are perfect for holding essentials like your car keys or wallet.
Tennis Gear and Equipment: A Tennis Racket
Wilson Tour Adult Recreational Tennis Racket ($37)
The best way to kickstart your tennis career is to simply pick up a racket and start hitting balls. This recreational tennis racket from Wilson is a bestseller on Amazon, with reviewers raving about everything from its easy grip design to its durable strings.
