Tennis Fashion

What is the Latest Must Have Tennis Clothes?
By Kirsty Mcallister

Tennis Fashion used to be predictable and boring. Male and female tennis players were restricted to wearing regulation white sports gear. Aertex button-through short sleeved tops or white blouses worn with short skirt, white socks and pumps were the order of the day.

However, these days, top designers are creating much more choice, resulting in tennis gear which has become fashionable, sexy and stylish. Top seeds such as Venus and Serena Williams have a range of top fashion ranges to choose from. Tennis skirts are now available in a vast array of materials, colours and styles. Serena Williams is often seen playing top tournaments wearing zingy, skimpy tennis dresses. Shorts are also considered acceptable, and the colour is no longer restricted to white, except at some major tournaments.

Brightly colored pinks, greens and orange tennis wear are often seen on court these days. Serena Williams chose a neon orange Nike Summer athlete top and skort when playing at the Sony Ericsson open in Miami. Teamed with a wide bandana and matching sports shoes she set the pace for the fashion stakes as well as performance. She looked powerful and amazing.

Venus Williams has also launched a range of sportswear called EleVen. The range can be worn on court or for casual wear. Venus’s signature item is called the V Court, a high-performance sneaker, and she has been promoting this item when playing major tournaments recently. The EleVen range comprises over 120 items in several colorways, including athletic footwear, fleeces, graphic t shirts, socks and bras. At an affordable price, the range is becoming popular.
