Tennis inspired looks have been hot in the world of fashion since last summer – thus the name “tenniscore.” If you love this preppy, sporty, classic look, there’s no need to abandon it now. The luxury designer tennis sweater is everywhere this fall fashion season. Our correspondent Meredith Lepore has curated a list of 12 tennis inspired – aka tenniscore – on trend luxury designer fashion sweaters perfect to sport this fall 2022.
Tennis inspired fashion and the tenniscore trend are going strong into fall fashion season 2022
There is no doubt that dressing like a tennis player AKA “tenniscore” has become a significant part of fashion this summer. Top designers like Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Miu Miu,, Love Shack Fancy, and Rowing Blazers are in on it. It’s like the whole world is dressing as a teen villain in an ’80’s movie.
But just because the temperature will be going down soon, it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your love of tennis fashion. Tennis sweaters will be all the rage this fall. “A tennis sweater harkens back to another time—the faded glory of the country club, prep-school set,” Katie Warner Johnson, CEO of Carbon38, told BAZAAR.com.
“However, today, as we all have a habit of standing dress codes on their heads and carving our own styling paths, the tennis sweater works its way into our wardrobes as a contrast, almost as a costume as we try on (literally) the romanticized version of a past that may not have much relevance today.”
There are some beautiful ones for you to choose from (and just in time for the U.S. Open!) Here are some of the best ones.
