During a critical moment in a tough and aggressive time, only a right tennis outfit can save a day. Tennis outfits are not only meant to allow ease of movement across the court but also is known as a particular sign of femininity. That’s why, they aren’t getting out of fashion any sooner.
Especially after Zendaya wore them as Tenniscore at Red Carpet to promote her tennis film Challengers in 2024, the revival of these outfits are back in full swing. However, back then, tennis outfits perticularly the bottom part which is usually tennis skirt were not the same length as they are now. During 1910, women wore long and broad tennis skirts until when in 1919, legendary tennis player Suzanne Lenglen played tennis with her skirt reaching her calves. Within a decade, players embraced knee-length skirts and in 1930, it emerged as a new fashion.

Nowadays, tennis outfits are actually more easier to style because of different staples including tennis rompers & dresses.
