From perfectly pleated skirts to chevron-striped sweaters, the best tennis clothes for women always strike a balance between modernity and retro charm. Fleshing out a well-rounded tennis wardrobe begins with function—sporty pieces crafted in moisture-wicking materials that can withstand an active day on the court are key. But beyond high-quality, technical fabrics, look to design-driven details from these tennis brands to give your look an edge. (Think: flouncy hems, distinct necklines, and preppy color palettes.)
Vogue’s Favorite Tennis Clothes:
A court-ready tennis dress is a must, whether it’s a classic silhouette from heritage labels like Lacoste and Ralph Lauren, or a sportier take. You’ll also be needing a pleated tennis skirt to mix and match with your favorite sports bras and polos, plus a retro-inspired sweater to knot around your shoulders for a post-match lunch. Round it out with some tennis shoes, a sparkling tennis bracelet, and a preppy striped tote to hold your racquet (and other tennis gear) for an ace ensemble. All of that, and more, in our edit of the best tennis clothes for women ahead.
On- and Off-the-Court Dresses
The tennis dress is as essential as it gets. From Tory Burch’s perfect pleats to Stand’s sleek contrast-trim style, there’s a dress out there for every type of player. And once your match is over, you can throw on a sweater and a pair of white trainers for a look that reads country club-chic.

Form-Meets-Function Skirts & Skorts
When you need a court-ready outfit in a pinch, turn to the tennis skirt to put a sophisticated flounce in your step. Whether you choose to opt for classic tennis white or go for something bolder (perhaps Sporty & Rich’s striped silhouette?), prioritize breathable, sweat-wicking fabrics and design details like built-in tennis shorts (ideally, featuring concealed pockets to hold an extra tennis ball) that blend form and function.

Game, Set, Matching Sets
There’s something inherently compelling about a coordinated look, particularly on the court. Alo Yoga’s preppy matching set is crafted from a softly textured cotton knit, while Tory Burch’s bestseller ensemble has long sleeves and all the stretch you need to hit those backhands.

Retro-Inspired Sweaters
For warm-ups on-court and post-match lunches, pick out a vintage-inspired sweater to match your athletic fit. Cozy cable knits, striped cardigans, and slim-fit polo shirts all fit the bill, layered atop a short-sleeve crewneck T-shirt or tank top. Favorites from clothing brands like Sporty & Rich and Tory Burch nail the monochrome palette, while Guest in Residence brings a splash of retro color to the mix—we love the latter with a high-waist trouser off-court, too.

Tennis Accessories
Once you’ve zippered your racket into a canvas tennis bag, it’s time for the finishing touches. An iconic tennis bracelet brings a little glamour to your wrist, while Comme Si’s socks and Spence’s dad cap (a new activewear brand to add to your lexicon) deliver an in-the-know finish on and off the tennis court.
