Every sport has its fashion icon—a dependable wardrobe essential that always hits the mark, improving both your mood and your game. For tennis, it’s the dress. This classic court mainstay is cherished not only for its adaptability (just add a chevron-stripe sweater for a swift transition to a post-match lunch), but also for the wide array of styles, from classic preppy to modern sporty. If you’re aiming to capture the tennis aesthetic, start with this crucial piece.

Retro athletic clothing has been a popular trend for a while now, largely due to Tory Burch and Staud Sport for their vintage-inspired creations. For traditional sports brands like Nike, Lacoste, and Wilson, the tennis dress has always been a mainstay; however, emerging brands such as Serves and Sporty & Rich have taken it in a more fashionable direction with greater street style appeal. Alo Yoga and Lululemon’s technically advanced styles attract players looking to enhance their performance, while also delivering a sophisticated outfit that’s perfect for days when your schedule jumps between the tennis club, errands, and perhaps a quick coffee meetup. Pair any of these options with a sporty white sneaker or, maybe, a tennis bracelet for a touch of shine, and you’ll be ready for the court.

Embody the Wimbledon spirit of all-white tennis attire when stepping onto the court, with preppy polo collars or racerback tanks. Tory Burch’s elegant all-white, A-line dress is a top choice, as is Alo Yoga’s dress crafted from soft brushed jersey that also features a built-in bra. Stick to the theme by completing the look with a bright white sneaker and ball cap.
