Tennis is on the move, quickly rising to become one of the most talked about topics of the year especially after the Zendaya-starred film Challengers made its way to the theaters. With Wimbledon being just around the corner, it's like the aesthetic peaked at the right time. Iconic fashion looks of tennis players over the years had also resurfaced. From Roger Federer looking like royalty at the 2009 Wimbledon in all white Nike military jacket, trainers, and duffel bag, or Serena Williams' unforgettable Y2K look with studded Nike top and denim skirt at the 2004 US Open.

When it comes to embracing the tenniscore aesthetic, it doesn't really matter if you're athletic or not. Modest and sleek, tenniscore is a nod to quiet luxury, as the sport itself (much like golf and sailing) is commonly dubbed as "exercise for the upper class". Perhaps this explains why tenniscore isn't solely dependent on athleticism, but rather on the ultraluxe elements that come with it: pristine outfits, diamond watches, and unnecessarily expensive designer water bottles.
Though it may look simple, tenniscore has its own charm, especially when imbued with a luxury spin. Take a look at Zendaya's tennis themed looks at the press tour for Challengers it's to die for: Thom Browne's white sequin halter dress with a pleated mesh skirt, Jacquemus' blushed pink cutout polo dress, and a custom pleated tennis dress full of crystals by Loewe, accompanied by custom Loewe heels featuring tennis balls.
However, fashion is for everyone. You don't have to squeeze your budget for some luxury items like Miss Z to tap into the tenniscore trend. A simple white tennis dress, jersey knits, or versatile pleated skirts evidently have their own distinctive charm. Incorporating them into your wardrobe is also a relatively accessible way to test out tenniscore aesthetic yourself.
There's just something so effortlessly classy and cool about the whole ensemble. Picture this; white, cream, yellow, green, and black-all the colors that match well together against the backdrop of the hard green clay courts of the sport. Or picture an eye-catching combination of colors like neon pink, bright yellow, and other colorful summer hues to spice up your serving game (pun intended). With exercise dresses, pleated skirts, knit polos, and sporty visors-you're ready for tenniscore!
