SPORTY EDGE

Court to Café: Tennis Looks That Serve Style On and Off the Court

Written By: Priyanka Bimal

Think of it as sport-inspired capsule dressing — functional at heart, fashionable in finish.

Tennis fashion has stepped far beyond the baseline. What once belonged strictly to sport now sits comfortably in the style spotlight — crisp polos, pleated skirts, logo tanks, and court sneakers are now part of everyday luxury dressing. The new tennis-inspired wardrobe is clean, graphic, and performance-rooted, yet polished enough for brunch tables, café meetings, and city strolls. It’s where athletic heritage meets designer refinement.

Few brands have redefined tennis aesthetics with as much personality as Casablanca. Known for colour, retro sport references, and luxe fabrications, the brand’s polo shirts and tops transform classic court staples into statement pieces.

The polo dress remains one of the most effortless ways to channel tennis style, and Gucci elevates it with logo work, trim details, and precision tailoring. It delivers instant polish with minimal styling effort.

A polo dress is to tennis style what a city beach dress is to resort wear —wear it with court sneakers for daytime activity, then switch to loafers or Mary Janes for café or casual dinner plans.

A refined tank top is essential in both tennis and everyday summer wardrobes, and Chloé delivers versions that feel minimal yet distinctly premium through logo accents and fabric quality.

A logo-heavy Gucci polo T-shirt brings graphic authority to tennis styling. Treated like a statement tee rather than a uniform piece, it can be styled well beyond sport contexts.

Pair it with a pleated skirt, tailored shorts, or relaxed trousers, depending on the mood. This is where tennis fashion overlaps with streetwear — bold branding, clean silhouettes, and confident pairings.

For readers who usually reach for a dresses in warm weather, this offers a sportier alternative that still feels visually interesting and photo-ready.

Luxury tennis style isn’t always sharp and graphic — it can also be soft and textural. A pastel or pink sweatshirt paired with a refined skirt from Brunello Cucinelli creates a high-low balance that feels modern and wearable.

Choose a pleated or A-line skirt in cotton, silk blend, or lightweight wool. The contrast between a cozy sweatshirt and a polished skirt delivers depth. Finish with Mary Jane shoes or minimalist sneakers to keep the look anchored in tennis heritage.

This kind of pairing transitions beautifully across spaces — morning errands, work-from-café days, and casual dinners. It plays the same role that a dresses plays in resort style — easy, flattering, and adaptable — but with a sport-luxe twist.

A Casablanca polo T-shirt paired with tailored beach shorts creates one of the most reliable court-to-café formulas. The structure of the polo balances the ease of the shorts, producing a silhouette that feels athletic but styled.

Opt for shorts with clean hems and structured waistbands rather than drawstrings to keep the look elevated. Colour coordination — picking up one shade from the polo — creates cohesion.

Styling Tennis Looks With An Edge

Sometimes one bold piece transforms an entire look. A yellow T-shirt from Givenchy injects energy into neutral tennis outfits — white skirts, beige shorts, cream trousers. Colour pops are especially effective in tennis-inspired wardrobes because the base palette is often restrained. Yellow feels optimistic, summery, and highly visible — perfect for sport-inspired styling.

Pair it with pleated skirts, tailored shorts, or layered under a zip jacket. Keep accessories minimal to let the colour lead. For those who usually rely on a sporty outfit for statement impact, a bold tennis tee achieves a similar focal-point effect — but in a sharper, sportier language.

Much like resort dressing rotates between a beach dress, a kaftan top, and a crochet dress, tennis style rotates between polos, skirts, tanks, and sport layers.

The result is a wardrobe that feels active, polished, and endlessly remixable — ready to serve style from first set to final sip at the café.
