Show Up To The Pickleball Courts Serving Looks All Summer

Grab your paddles and put on your sneakers, because it's time to talk about pickleball fashion. Recently, this sport has seen a massive increase in popularity, with The New York Times naming it the fast-growing sport in the U.S. Along with this growth, we've seen more and more social media users taking to their apps to show off fabulously sporty pickleball fits.

If you're unfamiliar, pickleball is a sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. It's played using large, ping-pong-like paddles and plastic balls similar to wiffleballs. Considered less intensive than tennis, it's a great sport for those looking for some casual, but competitive exercise.

When it comes to pickleball fashion, we've found that our favorite outfits often combine elements of the tenniscore aesthetic and staples of modern sportswear. With the looks we've compiled as your inspiration, wiffleballs won't be the only thing you'll be serving on the pickleball court this season.

If you want to add a little something extra to your tennis dress look, we recommend experimenting with layers. Sweatshirts, sweaters, and pullovers are all great options for this purpose and come with the added benefit of keeping you warm in chilly weather.

The layered look from @auddiethehottie is one of our favorite sweatshirts and tennis dress combos. We love how the flower design on the grey sweatshirt matches the bright pink coloring of the dress, keeping it cute and colorful.

Just like with athletic dresses, there is a wide range of tennis skirt styles that would also work great for pickleball practice. For example, there's A-line, ruffled, and back-pleated to name a few. Our personal favorite would have to be the classic pleated tennis skirt, which is both sporty and stylish. TikTok user @ashleighuynh styles such a skirt, pairing it with a simple sports bra and pull-over cricket sweater. White sneakers and a hair ribbon finish out the preppy look, providing the perfect inspo for your own outfit.

For those who prefer to wear shorts when exercising, consider going for a sweatshirt and short set. There are so many cute sets available to purchase, ranging from coordinated to monochromatic, but you can also create your own. We're big fans of the all-green look shown off by @by___saki, who rounds out their outfit with checkered Vans, hoop earrings, and a classic braid. If you're wondering where you can score your own matching set, check out Girlfriend Collective, Summersalt, or adidas.

Sweatpants also make for the perfect pickleball ensemble, as they're both versatile and functional. There are many ways you can style these bottoms, but we particularly like the look shown off by TikToker @maddiepalmer96. This outfit includes simple black sweats, a grey, graphic sweatshirt, and black and white tennis shoes. A classic braid and baseball cap put the finishing touches on the look, creating a stylishly sporty vibe. Don't be afraid to break out the sweatpants or invest in a hardy pair for your own pickleball fit.

On the topic of leggings, there's something about a monochromatic moment that we just love. With the number of matching sets available, leggings just lend themselves really well to this homogenous styling method.

As an example, the off-white combo from @caro.gurdian gives off a really fresh vibe that we think is perfect for pickleball. The sports bra and leggings are styled with a simple baseball cap, sporty sunglasses, all-white sneakers, and a trendy cow-print tote. Take inspiration from this look by sporting your own monochromatic set at your next pickleball session.
