Thankfully, tennis is one of the more COVID-friendly sports, so many of us have been able to continue playing during the various lockdowns of the past 12 months. Maintaining social distance yet still being able to exchange friendly banter has been the name of the game since its inception.
It’s no wonder that the game has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. In 2020, tennis racket sales went up 40.9% according to the Tennis Industry Association. And tennis participation has bounced up from 6.75% to 10.08% of the U.S population.
If you’re one of these newly-minted players to the game, welcome! Or perhaps you’re back at it for reliable exercise in the absence of indoor gyms. Regardless, we all know that dressing the part always inspires better performance.
To aid you in your quest for peak performance, we’ve rounded up some noteworthy new designs from our favorite luxury tennis wear brands including dresses, tops, skirts and outerwear. Whether you prefer to play in traditional whites or lean towards bold statements and pops of color, we’ve got you covered on and off the court.
the chic new 2021 trends in luxury women’s tennis apparel
1. new luxury tennis dresses
The tennis dress is a hardworking staple for any player. All of these elegant dresses feature breathable performance fabrics and flattering figure-skimming silhouettes (read: stretchy).
[metaslider id=87013]Venus Williams’ brand, Eleven, blocks harmful UV rays and uses 12-recycled plastic bottles in its fabric. Hedge’s feminine dress can be monogrammed for the ultimate in preppy styling. Another stand out? L’etoile Sport’s half-zip dress which is fabricated with a luxurious Brazilian lace.

Colder weather doesn’t have to stop you from being stylish on the tennis court. Tory Sport’s and Hedge’s heritage-inspired tennis jackets will always have a timeless appeal.
[metaslider id=87023]F.Word’s neoprene hoodie is a standout for its temperature regulating neoprene fabric and streetwear styling. And we also couldn’t resist Tail Activewear’s youthful citrus-inspired long-sleeve top that is perfect for sunny, but breezy days.

3. new luxury tennis sleeveless and short sleeve tops
We’re serious about our tennis tops. They have to be constructed with range of motion in mind – those aces aren’t going to serve themselves! And we don’t think it’s asking too much for a flattering drape because the last thing we want is to feel self-conscious of lumps and bumps.
[metaslider id=87033]Lily Pulitzer’s top with an embroidered flower neckline may look dainty but it offers sun protection (UPF 50+) and a slightly longer torso for coverage or tucking in. Fila’s tank has princess seams and shirring to create an hour-glass silhouette and the pretty lilac color is subtle enough for traditionalists. Our favorite is Denise Cronwall’s elegant tank with a fashionable peplum hem.

4. new luxury tennis skirts
We’re not ashamed to admit it; we started tennis because of the skirts! And what practical skirts they are – with built-in shorties and pockets. We really should be asking ourselves why all skirts aren’t designed like tennis skirts.
[metaslider id=87040]Those looking to make a fashion statement will love Inphorm’s hot pink skirt or Angle’s multi-pieced skort. A classic white skirt from Lija or Fila gets a subtle pop of color from a printed ruffle or grosgrain trim.
