Tap Into the Tenniscore Aesthetic With These Stylish Pieces
Game, set, match!

A well-known favorite pastime of the fashionably elite (ahem, Anna Wintour), tennis is, and has long been, an incredibly stylish sport. Characterized by preppy pleats, varsity collars and court-chic athleisure, we have Zendaya to thank for the resurgence of the tenniscore fashion aesthetic.
In her upcoming film Challengers, the 27-year-old actress plays a tennis legend-turned-coach—and, as a result, has recently delivered a series of tennis-themed (think: custom Loewe tennis ball heels and a plunging neon gown) press tour ensembles in a marvellous display of method dressing, courtesy of the one and only Law Roach.
Ready to serve? Take a page out of Zendaya’s book of fashion plays and scroll on for eight ways to wear the tenniscore trend.
Charmed Tennis Dress, Alo Yoga
On and off the court, a crisp-white tennis dress is eternally chic. With its classic collar and soft stretchy fabric, Alo Yoga’s Charmed Tennis Dress was made for athletes and tenniscore admirers alike. No matter where you wear it, this dress’ quarter-button placket allows for a look that can be dressed up or down.
Price: $195
Cap With Embroidered Logo, Mango
If you’re not quite ready to commit to a pro-style visor, channel your inner ball girl instead with this retro embroidered cap from the Mango Tennis Club Collection. Available in white, navy, ecru and pink, there’s a hue to accompany every sporty set you’ve got in mind.
Price: $42.99
Off-White Prince Edition Sweater, Sporty & Rich
Straight from the Sporty & Rich x Prince collection, this cable knit cotton sweater screams, “I play tennis! Or, at least I look like I do.” And it’s got all the hallmarks of a tennis player’s off-court style to back it up—including a preppy striped V-neck and grass green touches.
Price: $295
White Gazelle Indoor Sneakers, Adidas Originals
What’s a tenniscore wardrobe without a pair of tennis shoes? Boasting the brand’s signature triple-stripe design, these Adidas Originals Gazelle sneakers will serve any athletic attire well. Alongside the cloud white and core black detailing, the collegiate green accents on these low-top shoes will add a subtle hint of colour against a classically all-white gametime ensemble.
Price: $160
Golden Movetech Tennis Pro Micro Skirt, Aritzia
Ace this aesthetic with a professional-looking—and equally as stylish—tennis skirt. Better yet, a practical skort. Aritzia’s Golden Movetech Tennis Pro Micro Skirt features a high-rise fit with sweat-wicking shorts built in underneath. On top, the pink pleated skirt moves as you do and feels super smooth.
Price: $70
Crew Socks, Kotn
Can you ever have too many socks? We think not. Especially when a striped set pairs so well with tennis shoes. Case in point: Kotn’s padded and unisex Crew Socks in the “Silver Pine Stripe” colourway.
Price: $12
Recycled Fibre Polo Style Sports Bra, Lacoste
Offering both style and support, Lacoste’s Recycled Fibre Polo Style Sports Bra is a total 2-in-1 steal. Inspired by the iconic Lacoste polo shirt, this bra was deliberately designed with tennis players in mind and has been tested and approved by Lacoste athletes. Wear it as a tank, or take it out for a spin on the court—either way, you’re covered.
Price: $125
On My Level Barrel Duffle Bag, Lululemon
Every athlete (er, tenniscore aesthete) needs a sturdy bag to store their workout essentials in. Crafted from water-repellent fabric for peace of mind whenever you’re packing a sweaty towel or a water bottle, Lululemon’s On My Level Barrel Duffle can handle whatever you throw at it–or in it. Held by the handle or slung across your body, it’s fashionable and functional.
