How to Style Your Tennis Skirts and Dresses

With the right pieces, you can blend sportswear with attire appropriate for a night on the town. Whether your personal style is sweet and sporty, elegant and refined, or a little edgy, you’ll find options to help complete your aesthetic—even if you never even pick up a racket. ASICS offers a range of versatile options perfect for your next match and equally suitable for hitting the court or going out. Explore the various options available and discover some tips to help you decide on what to wear and what to wear with it.

What to wear: A tennis skirt or dress?

Save your mental strategy for your opponent and simplify your routine by selecting a WOMEN’S MATCH DRESS. With its water-repellent mesh and racerback design, you can feel cool and comfortable with this style meant for enhanced breathability and mobility; not to mention, a tennis dress is excellent for a streamlined style with built-in support. Plus, a dress can provide you with an easy transition to casual wear off the court. Adding a few accessories and heeled shoes can quickly elevate your look. 

If you want more freedom of expression and movement, consider choosing a WOMEN’S MATCH SKORT to pair with your favorite top. A skort provides more flexibility in styling and layering, easing your seasonal transitions. Built-in sprinters give you peace of mind while you volley from the court to the street.

Sporty edge

Choose the WOMEN’S COURT DRESS with its open-back design for an athletic aesthetic. The black-and-white color combo is a classic sporty look. Pair with your favorite ASICS sneakers and top with a cap to complete your ensemble. The UNISEX PF CAP or UNISEX PF VISOR can either add a pop of color or coordinate perfectly with your outfit.  

Mix and match to find your best fit with a COURT SPEED SKORT and your choice of top. The WOMEN’S COURT TANK and the WOMEN’S MATCH ACTIBREEZE TANK are moisture-wicking and sleeveless. Consider opting for an oversized graphic tee for a more casual look. ASICS has a variety to choose from, including the ASICS 1977 MTN TEE or the WOMEN’S ASICS DAISY CROP SHORT SLEEVE TOP. 

Keep jewelry minimal to avoid any interference while you play; stick with simple stud earrings, for example. Add layered necklaces for your streetwear outfit and contain must-haves in a crossbody or belt bag to keep things sporty and streamlined or add a casual twist with a denim or bomber jacket. A little blush and highlighter for a dewy makeup look will complement your athletic style. 

Preppy and polished

A preppy look is put together and polished. Start with the WOMEN’S MATCH DRESS featuring a polo collar. Or grab the timeless WOMEN’S CLASSIC SKORT. The pleated style is trendy and pairs well with a simple tank for your game. Headed to the cafe at your club? Top with a sweater vest and loafers or a cozy sweater and knee-high socks in the cooler months. Balance the proportions of your outfit by tucking in your top. A watch is the perfect accessory to complement this style. 

Elevate your prep with a tailored blazer or cardigan. Add heeled sandals or ankle boots and accessorize with statement earrings to dress it up! Swap your visor for a simple headband or hair bow for a coquette-chic look. 

Street style

An oversized hoodie or cropped sweatshirt paired with your WOMEN’S MATCH SKORT will give your outfit a relaxed aesthetic. Your ASICS court shoes are ideal for the game, and chunky sneakers will be a smash for your commute. A sporty backpack or belt bag adds both style and practicality.  

Put a little spin on your style with the WOMEN’S COURT GRAPHIC DRESS. The graphic detail on the back makes a statement. Go bold with thick bracelets, statement earrings, and high-top trainers to serve up a look that’s sure to turn heads. Add a pop of color with lipstick and try a funky hairstyle, like braids or a high bun.  

Sophisticated and chic

For an elegant take on tennis style, pair your WOMEN’S COURT GPX DRESS with a cardigan and a classic, structured handbag. Style your hair in a sleek low bun or smooth waves and accessorize with a headband or bow and complement your dress with a coordinating lip color to make a bold statement. 

Dress up the WOMEN’S MATCH SKORT with a blouse or tailored shirt. For an upscale evening out, swap your tennis sneakers for a pair of low heels. For a softer look, choose a knit sweater and ballet flats. 

Layered look

Tennis dresses and skirts are ideal for warmer weather, but adding a layer is a simple way to tweak your look for cooler seasons. Choose a long-sleeve top with the WOMEN’S SKORT, or add a jacket to a dress. Trade out your summer espadrilles for ankle boots and swap your visor for a beanie.  

Think of your jacket as the icing on the cake; it’s an ideal choice to highlight your aesthetic. For example, you might try the KNIT VARSITY JACKET for a preppy take or the STYRAX TRACK JACKET for a sportier outfit. The WOMEN’S PERFORMANCE INSULATED JACKET 2.0 complements any style and keeps you warm.

Personalized touches

How you choose to style your tennis wear should reflect your personality and overall aesthetic, which is why the best way to style your ASICS tennis dress or skirt is with personal details that make the look all your own. Game, set, and mix-and-match your way to an outfit you will feel comfortable and confident in whether you’re playing on the court or engaging in other activities.
