Wimbledon Inspired – Stylish and Comfortable Tennis Wear

Wimbledon Inspired – Stylish and Comfortable Tennis Wear | AD

It’s that time of the year again. Summer is here and that means that Wimbledon is just around the corner. Famous for strawberries and cream, Pimm’s Cup, and celebrity guests but the most important aspect is of course the tennis! If you’re feeling inspired by Wimbledon and want to get into playing the game yourself or simply refresh your court wardrobe, then read on for what to consider when choosing the best tennis wear. 

Tennis Clothing

What’s suitable to wear when you play tennis, depends on where you play. If you’re playing in a local park or at a public tennis court, there are no rules and you can wear whatever workout clothes that you feel comfortable in. 

However, if you’re playing at a tennis club or at a country club, then there is usually a strict dress code requiring proper tennis attire such as collared shirts for men and certain types of tennis skirts or dresses for women. 

If you’re looking for tennis clothing that is comfortable and stylish, then adidas is a great choice. They have a range of tennis attire created by athletes for athletes, featuring performance-enhancing qualities such as full-stretch fabrics to amplify your moves and lightweight mesh materials to keep you cool. Choose from shorts in a range of lengths, polo shirts, t-shirts, dresses, skirts, and more. Many of the tennis shorts offer handy pockets for storing extra tennis balls too. 

Tennis Shoes

As with many sports, the kind of shoes you wear makes a big difference. For tennis, don’t just pop on your regular trainers or running shoes as you are likely to cause yourself an injury. Proper tennis shoes are crucial for lateral stability, i.e. preventing your foot and ankle from rolling excessively side-to-side.

When choosing new tennis shoes, one of the most important things to do is to match the court surface. Tennis can be played on different types of courts, most commonly hard court or clay court. Different court types need different types of soles for the right grip. For this reason, when you’re looking to purchase tennis shoes, first narrow down the choice by what court the shoes are suitable for. This is easy to do on the adidas website as you can view all tennis shoes or select to just view all hard court or all clay court tennis shoes. 

Your playing style and foot shape also impact what kind of tennis shoes will be best for you. Additionally, always remember to try on your shoes with the kind of tennis socks that you’ll actually be using when you play. 

Tennis Accessories 

Speaking of socks, the right accessories are important too. For tennis, useful accessories include:

• Tennis Socks / Cushioned Crew Socks
• Tennis Wristbands 
• Tennis Headbands
• Tennis Caps, Hats or Visors 

Additionally, a tennis bag is great for carrying your water bottle, extra tennis balls and anything else you might need on the court.

Ready for Tennis Season 

Tennis can of course be played all year round but it definitely feels like summer is the proper tennis season with the right weather to play outdoors and important tennis events such as Wimbledon happening in summer. If you’re feeling inspired to play tennis, the above introduction to what to wear when playing tennis to stay comfortable and to help your game (while looking good too) has hopefully helped you feel even more ready to play.
