These Tennis Clothes Serve — On and Off the Court

LSPACE Rally Dress in Petal Pink ($110)

This mini-length Rally Dress from LSPACE is so cute you'd be forgiven for assuming it's more for style than fitness — but it really is functional too, with a pair of built-in shorts, a fitted v-shaped neckline, adjustable straps, and removable pads.

"Such a flattering dress and such a great everyday item! I have this dress in two colors now and wear them ALL THE TIME!!" One reviewer says, "It's also a comfy fabric and doesn't feel like normal tight workout clothes."

Beyond Yoga If You Pleats Mini Skirt in True White ($86)

With a lightweight material, this pleated mini-skirt from Beyond Yoga is both soft and oh-so-easy to move in.

"Some of the tennis skirts I've tried have missed the mark — some have entirely too many pleats or use heavier fabrics that feel a bit too weighted. Enter this Beyond Yoga pick: it's lightweight, breezy, and fun," Jade Esmeralda, health and fitness writer for PS, says in a Vetted Review, calling the skirt "versatile enough to both participate in and spectate at sporting events."

Wilson Sportswear Doubles Half-Zip Top ($88)
For a sleek, fitted look, opt for this half-zip from Wilson Sportswear. Whether you want a little more coverage or warmth, the layer is perfect for popping on over a tank or sports bra — and it looks great with a tennis skirt.

Outdoor Voices The Exercise Dress ($100)

This exercise dress from Outdoor Voices — a classic by now — is a comfortable wardrobe staple that can take you from your morning game to brunch. The adjustable straps and built-in shorts allow for flexibility for playing tennis. Once you try it on, you won't want to take it off.

Lululemon It's Rulu Run Long Sleeve Shirt ($98)

Going to play tennis outside? You need the right layers, especially in cooler temperatures. This long sleeve shirt is a super comfortable place to start. It has thumb holes to keep the sleeves from riding up, a zippered pocket for small essentials like a key or ID card, an underarm gusset to help prevent chafing, and a treating to help minimize the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Year of Ours Tennis Shorts ($72)
Just because you're playing tennis doesn't mean you've got to don a skort. These shorts from Years of Ours look like basics, but are super comfortable (nothing worse than a wedgie taking your mind off your game) and have pockets to hold your phone or tennis balls.

Outdoor Voices Court Skort($20)
This tennis skort from Outdoor Voices is made of the brand's signature Textured Compression fabric, so it holds you in in the best possible way. It also has a slightly more modern look than some pleated skirts.

Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft 7/8 Leggings ($35, originally $50)

Whether it's cooler outside or you just prefer leggings to shorts or skirts, this purple pair offers a welcome update to your basic black. They've got over 16,000 five-star ratings, and even though the pockets are big enough to accommodate a phone or tennis ball, they won't sag down with the added weight.

Tory Sport Performance V-Neck Tennis Dress ($228)

This dress is classic and chic. If you love the nostalgic tennis looks of decades past, this is your chance to channel that vibe. Plus, it's so comfortable, made from a (machine-washable!) performance jersey with a silky-soft feel.

Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half-Zip Hoodie($118)

Half-zip sweatshirts are having a moment right now, and this oversized option from Lululemon is a great option for when you need a little extra warmth on the courts. Head out to the tennis court and stay cozy all season long.

Beyond Yoga Spacedye Court Appeal Mini Dress ($118)

In a review of the Beyond Yoga dress, features editor of PS, Yerin Kim, says the dress is comfortable and the fabric feels buttery. The built-in shorts, hidden pocket, and side slit are subtle details that work well on the move. The heathered black color option camouflages sweat, and the dress isn't too overly compressive, says Annalise Mantz, associate editor, branded content, in the Vetted review.

Wilson Tiebreaker Dress in Classic Navy($98)

With a classic racerback style and a built-in shelf bra for extra support and security, this tennis dress includes ball pockets and a separate phone pocket. It also has side slits and is made from two- and four-way stretch material, so you'll be free to run, stretch, and jump without feeling held back.
