These Tennis Skirts Are So Stylish, You'll Want to Wear Them off the Court Too
Challengers may have premiered over a year ago, but the ultra-chic tennis aesthetic lives on. Need proof? Just look at what some of the best-dressed celebrities at Wimbledon have been wearing. Of course, good courtside style isn't the only way to take part. In fact, as someone who's been playing tennis for years, I'd argue that tenniscore is the most stylish way to wear your activewear—more specifically, with the best tennis skirts in hand. Whether you're a regular hitter, a summertime spectator, or just someone who wants to look cute with a side of country-club prep, the classic tennis skirt will become your next go-to for casual dressing (of course, a chic tennis dress is also a great option, too). And with plenty of practice matches and lessons under my belt, it's only natural for me to share my insights on what's worth the space in your tennis bag. From tried-and-true pleated styles to more streamlined, sporty options, shop the best tennis skirts to sport (pun fully intended) all season long. For an NCAA champion-approved option, go for Veronica Beard's Deuce Pleated Tennis Skort, made in partnership with Head Sportswear. spoke to Ayan Broomfield (the aforementioned champion and Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend) to discuss the collection earlier this year. Her criteria for good activewear? Pieces that balance function and fashion, which is exactly what this skort delivers. Sizes: XXS-XL Colors: White, Thyme Material: Polyester, elastane To give you an idea of how much I love this skirt, I have two of these in white, one in red, and I'm looking to add another color to the mix. Wilson's classic pleated style has become my go-to for any tennis outing, and it gives that classic country-club look without feeling too stuffy. I also love how supportive the ultra-high waistband is, which makes the silhouette even more flattering all around. Sizes: XS-XL Colors: 17 options Material: Nylon You may have come across Malbon for its golf-centered collaborations with Gap and Ring Concierge, but that's not the only sport it serves. In fact, there are plenty of ultra-cute options for tennis, too. Case in point: the Baseline Skirt. It's a sleek silhouette that looks just as good on the court as it does off. Colors: White, Black Material: Recycled polyester, spane ELLE editors, myself included, can't stop talking about the new Lululemon Align collection. Items like this high-rise skirt features the brand's super-soft signature Nulu fabric and a flexible waistband that won't dig in (hello, comfort). Without a doubt, this is a tennis skirt you'll want to live in—whether you're playing a set or not. Sizes: 0-14 Colors: 15 options Materials: Nylon, Lycra elastane For a functional take that leans more on the fashion side than others on the market, look to FP Movement's Pleats and Thank You Skort. This citrus-hued option feels exceptionally cute thanks to its flounced hemline. Plus, it definitely doesn't skimp on performance and comfort, either. You might want to wear this to brunch with your hitting partner after your next session. Sizes: 12 options Colors: XS-XL Materials: Polyester, elastane Of course Tory Burch would create a chic, sleek tennis skirt. There are plenty of great options in the Tory Sport line, but I love this one for its timeless appeal. A classic white pleated skirt, finished with a minimalist take on the TB logo, it's a piece that will be a staple in your tennis wardrobe for years. Colors: Snow White, Light Blue Listen—there's a reason so many top-tier tennis players choose Nike as one of their main sponsors, especially when it comes to apparel. Even my tennis pro loves Nike. In fact, he mentioned this specific colorway as a standout for spring when I told him I was working on this story. Is that a ringing endorsement? Absolutely. Sizes: XS-2XL Colors: Hydrangeas, Dark Team Red, Pale Ivory Materials: Polyester, spandex For any type of activewear, I love Beyond Yoga. Anything in the Spacedye collection is so comfortable, I almost forget I'm wearing something on the more compressive side. Plus, the colors the brand offers can't be beat (I get so many compliments when I wear my sets). Bottom line: Do yourself a favor and add this to your cart—stat. Colors: Candy Apple Red Heather, Cloud White, Darkest Night, Nocturnal Navy How pretty is this semi-sheer performance mesh option from Athleta? I already know it will move beautifully with every step you take toward that attack hit. Lightweight and breezy, this Athleta tennis skirt is one of the more breathable options on this list, so you'll stay comfortable even on the hottest days. And if you also happen to play golf, it's perfect for teeing up, too. Colors: Shell, Bright White Every product featured on is independently researched, tested, or editor-approved.

I Tried Veronica Beard's New Capsule Collection, And It Is Sporty Perfection
Designed by a sister-in-law duo who happen to share the same first and last names, Veronica Beard has been known for understatedly chic, timeless clothing and accessories since it first came out with its versatile Dickey blazer 15 years ago. Now, the womenswear brand has collaborated with Head Sportswear to launch a limited-edition capsule collection of activewear. The line includes tennis apparel in stripe-trimmed whites and muted greens as well as a sleek legging and sports bra set. Veronica Beard's capsule collection with Head Sportswear includes mix-and-match separates. Illustration: Forbes / Photo: Retailer Each piece is designed with performance and the brand's versatile styling ethos in mind: While you can go with a matching set, the pieces can also easily be mixed and layered and worn both on and off the court. Along with availability on its own site and at retailers like Nordstrom, Shopbop and Neiman Marcus, Veronica Beard has also partnered with specialty shops to offer the styles—like at the recently opened racquet club at the Sugar Beach Viceroy in St. Lucia. Here are my favorites from the capsule collection. In a durable yet extremely lightweight ripstop fabric, this track jacket looks just as great layered over activewear as it does styled off the court. The striped ribbed cuffs and stand-up collar add a tailored, cozy element. These leggings feature strategically designed ribbing in a super stretchy fabric that makes them comfortable enough for yoga or long flights. The brand's zoned fabric engineering gives subtle compression without ever pinching. Featured in our roundup of the best sneakers for women, these come in a special combination of neutral colors and mixed materials like suede and leather as part of the Head Sportswear collaboration. Besides adding a bit of height and cushion, these sneakers also feature stretchy no-tie laces so they can be conveniently slipped on and off. Made from a quick-dry moisture-wicking fabric and featuring box pleats, this skort allows for plenty of movement without riding up.

Veronica Beard and Head Sportswear Just Dropped a Collab—Shop It Now
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Whether you're on the court or watching from the sidelines, there's something transfixing about the sight of a tennis ball slicing through the air—driven by a perfect blend of power and grace. That moment becomes even more vivid when you're fully equipped for the occasion. Veronica Beard understands the power of looking the part—and feeling confident while doing it. Whether you're in the boardroom, running errands, or powering through a high-speed rally, what you wear can shape your day-to-day. Just in time for summer, the brand has partnered with Head Sportswear to launch a chic, limited-edition capsule collection of tennis apparel and activewear. NCAA tennis champion and content creator Ayan Broomfield, who stars in the campaign for the capsule, knows firsthand the impact of style on performance. 'After playing tennis for over 20 years, I've definitely learned how to find confidence on and off the court with my style,' she tells ELLE. 'This collection encapsulates that, and I hope that anyone who wears these pieces feels the same way. I always use the motto: Look good, feel good, play good. I'm such a huge believer that what you wear impacts how you feel. You can take that from being on the court, but also incorporate it into your daily life.' Priced between $80 and $298, the collection includes six thoughtfully designed pieces: a sleek tennis dress (a standout for Broomfield), a versatile skort, a classic tank top, a coordinated sports bra and leggings set, and a lightweight track jacket ideal for warmups. 'Tennis dresses are such a staple,' Broomfield says. 'But this one in particular is sporty, feminine, and feels amazing to wear. I can throw it on with sneakers or style it with a jacket—it transitions seamlessly from day to night. It's definitely my favorite piece.' It's no surprise that function and versatility are central to Broomfield's approach to fashion. As an athlete, social media personality, and philanthropist—while also traveling the globe to support her longtime partner, pro tennis star Frances Tiafoe—she leads a fast-paced, multifaceted life. 'My number one priority is always finding that balance between function and fashion,' she says. 'This collection lets me move freely while still feeling stylish.' For Broomfield, functional fashion is more than practicality—it's a form of self-expression. 'I remember going to the US Open and seeing the Williams sisters, especially Serena. Her outfits were so out-there and screamed personality and confidence,' she recalls. 'In other sports, athletes wear jerseys; it's a team thing. Tennis is so individual, and that gives you the freedom to really express who you are through what you wear.'
