Tennis is a sport that requires you to run, stretch, twist, jump, and perform other movements that you may not think your body can do. The clothing you wear when gaming needs to
allow you to move freely and feel comfortable. They should also protect you from the sun in warm conditions or keep you warm in cold conditions. In the end, you want them to look
good. Fortunately, there are several companies that have spent years developing materials and designs that meet all of these criteria.
When dressing for tennis, you should be wearing clothing that is designed for the challenges of the sport. It will be stretchy to allow sweat to pass through easily. You should wear
tennis shoes with non-marking soles. If it’s colder, you can add tights or underwear, and you should wear warm clothing to support the necessary freedom of movement.
Is there a dress code for playing tennis?
There is no dress code if you are playing in a park or public field. As long as your shoes are less likely to damage the court, you can wear what you like. That means you want
smooth, non-marking soles. Beyond that, the key is to make sure you’re wearing comfortable athletic clothing. Tennis clothing is ideal, but for the occasional player, it may not be
worth buying if you only wear it twice a year.
In a tennis club or a country club, things would be very different. You will be required to wear recognized tennis attire, gym shorts, t-shirts or workout clothes will not be permitted.
Your shoes must be tennis shoes with non-marking soles: running shoes are not permitted. Essentially, these venues only allow you to dress according to their dress code.
In professional tennis, the rules are not much different from those of a club. The main rule is that players should present themselves in a professional manner and wear recognized
tennis attire. Again, gym shorts and T-shirts are excluded.
Men are traditionally expected to wear polo shirts with collars and short sleeves. Other styles have also become popular in recent years, including sleeveless and collarless shirts.
All of these are acceptable if they are designed specifically for tennis.
As far as shorts are concerned, various lengths have been popular over the years, but the main requirement is that they be made for tennis. Pockets are useful for storing balls, but
are not necessary. Good tennis shoes are supportive and durable to prevent injury and won’t leave marks on the court. They will use different types of soles for different court
surfaces.
Ideally, the warm-up suit should also be designed for tennis, but as long as it’s not being worn in competition, any clean, nice tracksuit will suffice.
Today, dresses and skirts are often worn with compression shorts. Skirts and shorts can be combined into a “kilt”. Women have historically been condemned for wearing anything
unusual, as evidenced by the controversy surrounding Serena Williams wearing a catsuit at the 2018 French Open.
In 2019, the WTA made it clear that leggings or shorts, and no skirts, can be played in tennis matches, which had not been mentioned in previous rules. At the 2020 Roland Garros,
leggings were almost universally worn, often paired with culottes, and various extra layers. Beyond that, women’s tennis shoes are generally similar to men’s tennis shoes, but may
use more muted tones, and similar rules apply to warm-up suits.
