In My Tennis Era
and of course that comes with a new wardrobe!
This past summer, I rediscovered my love for tennis. I used to play when I was younger, then took a long break (regretfully!) and only played occasionally in adulthood, usually on vacations or during the summer here and there. It was never a consistent thing. But this summer, I decided to dive back in, and it's been such a source of joy. The physical activity, the fresh air, and of course the outfits, all contribute to a really joyful experience.
However, I promised myself I wouldn't invest in proper tennis clothes unless I really stuck with it. After about five months of playing three to four times a week, even in cooler 40/50-degree weather, I think I'm in it for the long haul. So, it's time for some fun tennis gear! And according to a poll I took on IG, my community wanted me to share my tennis outfits. So here are some chic basics I am going to invest in….
Tennis Dress: Everyone needs a classic, white tennis dress. It the number one basic! This one from Wilson has been on my wishlist for a while for a sporty feel, and I also love this one for a more chic, sophisticated look.
Tennis Sweater: We love a tied over the shoulder sweatshirt, but at this moment, I’ve been layering to play! I love this classic sweater from Wilson, as well as this more causal half zip look from Wilson as well.
Tennis Skirt: You can never have too many tennis skirts. Plus, they look great for a long walk or jog as well. I love this one from Wilson (of course, are we seeing a theme here!) for a classic pleated look, as well as this one for a more structured look.
Tennis Shoes: I’ve been playing in my walking/running shoes, and I do not recommend. Getting proper TENNIS shoes, is important especially for preventing injury. I love this pair and an all white look.

And of course if you play tennis (or not) you NEED this as well :-)
