Following in the footsteps of trends like ‘quiet luxury’ and ‘cowgirl coquette,’ ‘tennis-core’ is taking over mainstream fashion. Whether it be the release of Zendaya’s sporty-chic looks in the recent Challengers movie, the rise in pickleball and tennis during the past couple of years, or tennis pros like Coco Gauff becoming bona fide style icons, we’re seeing pleated skorts, white polos, and tennis dresses galore everywhere right now.
While the sport has certainly inspired some runway looks over the past few seasons, tennis-inspired fashion has saturated the fashion mainstream more than ever before this year, with #tenniscore generating an increasing number of searches on TikTok. Whether it’s the quiet luxury feel we get from these country club-centric looks or the fact that we can finally wear skorts in peace, we’re quite obsessed with this athletic aesthetic, which will be our go-to sporty style this summer and beyond.
The great thing about this preppy fashion trend is you don’t even have to pick up a racquet to serve some major tennis-inspired looks this season—especially when you’re opting for a classic tennis skirt. Equal parts functional and fashionable, the versatile tennis skirt (which is oftentimes actually a tennis skort) is an easy-to-wear, go-to piece that you can wear on the tennis court, to brunch, and beyond. Just look at how amazing Zendaya looked in this still-in-stock Tory Sport tennis skirt a few weeks ago while doing press for her new movie Challengers.
Are you wondering how you can incorporate a tennis skirt into your wardrobe? Fortunately, you don’t have to pick up a racquet or play doubles to wear these tennis-core-inspired skirts below.
