From Player to Partygoer: The Tennis Outfits You’re Wearing to Serve All Summer

What do I wear to a tennis match? It’s the question that plagues summer fashion girlies everywhere. Well, one of the biggest sporting events of the year is almost here, and whether you’re spectating courtside in London, throwing a watch party stateside at home, or playing in the championship game (hey, we don’t know your life), we have the looks you need to score a fashion grand slam. 

Across the Pond & In the Stands

You’ve come all this way; you obviously need a cute tennis outfit. Now, there’s a fine line between nodding to a theme and treating the event like a full-blown costume party (but we would never let that happen to you). It’s the dead of summer, so we recommend the VSX Defined Scuba Flare Dress as a light, airy option. Pair it with the Gola Coaster Strap Sneaker for a retro touch. 

The Party is the Sport 

The sheer athleticism of cleaning your apartment, cooking appetizers, decorating, and putting a look together alone is almost enough to get you up on that podium with a trophy. And while we wish we could do it all for you, outfitting is really our specialty. To nail “hostess with a great backhand”, might we suggest the VSX Featherweight Knit Midi Dress. The length gives you maximum mobility and a sexy slit is just because…you don’t need a reason. Keep it cute and casual with the PUMA Easy Rider Sneaker and you’re ready to throw the party of the summer. 

Game, Set, Matching Top & Skirt

Wow, you’re on the court; we’re impressed. Equally impressive? Our performance-driven, meant-for-sweat sets that look good and stay strong. We’re starting the look with a quintessential tennis skirt—the VSX Elevate™ Mesh Tennis Skirt to be exact. There are several match-back tops for you to choose from, but our favorite is the VSX Elevate™ Square-Neck Bra Top or, if you want more support, the VSX Featherweight™ Max Sports Bra

Bonus: All-White Everything 

Make the look extra sleek and chic with head-to-toe white. The new VSX Incredible Coverage collection lets you sweat through (and resists showing through), so you never have to worry on and off the court. A few of our favorites? Thanks for asking! We love the Racerback Tank Dress, Mesh Tennis Dress, Square Neck Bra, and Mini Skirt
