What is the tenniscore fashion trend seen at recent US Open and how can you rock it?
After Covid-19, everyone wanted comfy clothes – but fashionable ones. Enter tenniscore, trend whose rise was helped by the pickleball craze
Forget the tennis – at the US Open, a subset of spectators and television viewers have watched the year’s final grand slam tournament as a source of fashion inspiration they can use to serve looks off the court.
It may have escaped people who do not pay attention to clothing trends, but cities all over the world are awash in short pleated skirts, tennis dresses, polo collars and other garments that can make everyone look like they possess a country club membership and a respectable backhand.
Students are sporting skorts – a skirt-short mash-up often worn by tennis players – and crew socks as they return to school. Young professionals and middle-aged parents are also adopting the posh, preppy aesthetic.
“I’ve never played pickleball or tennis in my life, and I have like five tennis skirts,” Stacy Sierra, 19, says while walking on the University of Notre Dame campus in the US state of Indiana. Sierra said she likes the look of the skirts and preferred their flowy material to denim during the summer and early autumn.
