Transformation of Tennis Uniforms: Here’s How Tennis Fashion Changed in the Last Few Decades

Tennis Fashion Changed in the Last Few Decades

Tennis style has changed dramatically since the 1900s. The costume appears more practical and comfortable today, but women used to play tennis in full-length dresses, lace-up corsets, and even fur at some events. Technology also drives demand for comfortable tennis clothes that let women focus on the game. Nylon absorbs sweat and is comfortable. See how tennis fashion has changed.

Tennis uniform, 1920s

In the 1920s, tennis players wore bare-arm, knee-length outfits instead of long skirts with full sleeves and high collars. Ladies also wore lovely headbands on the court. French players launched breathable, comfy tennis jerseys during this period.

Tennis fashion achieved sophistication by the 1950s. 

The cinched waists and pleated skirt uniform created an elegant tennis outfit, which looked perfect on women and is still being followed. In the 1950s, many famous tennis players, like Maureen Connolly were introduced. The decade witnessed one of the drastic shifts in tennis uniforms, as people adopted lady-like outfits.

Making Bold Statement in the 1970s

Two decades later, tennis uniforms transformed into bold dresses, which comprised unique colors, bold patterns, and tight shirt skirts. The disco era also introduced patterned fabrics and beautiful collars. Those unique prints and extremely short skirts did not only feel comfortable but looked professional.

A Major Upgrade in the 1990s and Beyond

The significant upgrade in tennis fashion took place in the 1990s when the focus shifted to activewear uniforms that were comfortable, plus fashionable. The trend is still followed by the best tennis academy in Dubai. Many tennis icons, including Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams, inspired tennis players and learners to blend functionality with fashion seamlessly. They paired short skirts with colored leggings and tank tops of nylon fabric.

Present and Future Tennis Fashion

Tennis fashion keeps evolving. With new players coming up with bold styles, they are inspiring hundreds of thousands of tennis players with their incredible fashion sense. The focus is on combining fashion, technology, and functionality so that the players can flaunt the best outfit on the tennis court without compromising on their comfort.

You can also get tennis uniforms in breathable fabrics, with perspiration-absorbing properties, and ergonomic cuts. The uniforms help enhance women’s silhouettes and offer a great range of versatility. The best part is they do not compromise your range of motion, thus allowing you to play tennis without limiting your movements. You can choose top tanks with short skirts, waist-length uniforms, lower and t-shirt, and just about any comfortable wear. These dresses are designed to boost your confidence on the tennis court.

Client Success Story

my coach is Chetun, I’ve been taking his class, both group one and individual one, both are great!!! He’s experienced coach, knows how to teach, especially for entry -intermediate level players. They also provide good racket (better if they replace some old strings). Very prime location and relatively good price for this quality.

Great location and reasonably priced. I've been practicing with coach Chetan for 6 months now, and I feel I've improved a lot thanks to him. He gives me detailed advice every session, which has helped me improve my technique. Recommended!

Outstanding practice with coach Jino Thomas. He is a tough sparring partner for skilled players that wish to keep up with their game during dubai breaks. But also intermediate/beginners can advance their quality with Jino's precious tips! Thank you Cap Sports Academy team!
