Tennis Skirts and Dresses

There is a lot to think about when buying tennis clothing.

Watching the professionals play you will see a lot of different styles, particularly when there are fashion conscious players like Serena Williams are wearing outfits that could just as easily be evening-wear as a tennis outfit.

When you’re starting out in competitive tennis, the most important thing about an outfit is that it should be comfortably-fitting, and not interfere with your game. The correct outfit, then, may well depend on what style of play you prefer. If you have an all-action game that involves chasing down every ball, you will need a skirt that gives you the freedom of movement to do a lot of running. Good examples of this kind of skirt can be seen on Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams. Alternatively, you may favour a big-hitting game like Serena Williams. The best outfit in these circumstances is one that doesn’t restrict the arms in any way. Look for a tennis dress incorporating either short sleeves, or a vest-top style garment that allows you to get the best swing, allowing you to put everything into the important shots.
