9 sporty picks for your workout and beyond
Tennis apparel—minimalist dresses, miniskirts, mesh shorts, and white leather sneakers—can double as your new summer uniform, especially as the French Open approaches.
The trend popped up on this spring’s runways with polos and pleated skirts at Tory Sport and visors at Z Zegna, who selected German tennis star Alexander Zverev as the face of the brand. And it’s not stopping there: Gucci has created court-themed logo sweatshirts, t-shirts, and dresses as part of their Pre-Fall collection.
Here, nine chic items that can take you from court to gym to street.
Michi Drop Tennis Dress
Designed with sweat-wicking, hyper-stretchy fabric, this dress features a perforated skirt and mesh cut-outs to keep you cool and comfortable from doubles to lunch at the pool. Off the court, pair it with the Kinetic Short, a denim jacket, and a leather belt bag.
L’Etoile Sport Zip Front Tank
This lightweight top, made from a performance lace fabric, is as flattering as it is useful, since it naturally ventilates. The reflective navy trim on the neck and arms keeps you seen and safe on a run long after the sun goes down.
Off-White Men’s Diag Stencil Mesh Shorts
These breathable bottoms boast an elastic waistband and subtle graphic prints. Slip them on before a lifting session or top with a T-shirt and bomber jacket for a casual restaurant.
Alala Etoile Jacket
This sheer windbreaker includes a vent at the back to increase airflow along with generous front pockets for stashing essentials. Layer it with a pop of color underneath or tie around your waist when going to and from boxing or Pilates.
Tory Sport Side-Slit Skirt
The built-in boy shorts make this skirt an ideal choice for runs, cycling, or errands. Pair with a sheer blouse and statement sneakers for a stylish evening look.
Lacoste SPORT Novak Djokovic Collection Tech Jersey Polo
Made from technical stretch jersey, this classic performance polo features a bold design and raglan sleeves. It’s the perfect pick for a match or two, but would also make for a wicking choice for travel or a casual dinner.
Gigi C Bikinis Sarah Bodysuit
This sleek, tailored one-piece pays homage to the catsuit Serena Williams graced the court with during last year’s French Open. It’s luxuriously soft and the quick-drying material has a cooling effect that can stand up to an intense HIIT or hot yoga class.
Twenty Montreal Pride French Terry Shorts
These paneled shorts, made from soft terry material, include pockets for storing extra tennis balls in addition to your keys, wallet, and cell phone. Wear them for a lifting session and then to breakfast al fresco.
Dior DiorClub1 Visor
Whether you’re practicing your backhand, cycling trails, or lounging on the beach, this accessory adjusts for a customized fit. It shields against both UVA and UVB rays.
