In a tennis match, it’s not just about the outfits on the court, but the ones off the court too. And the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is as much a style event as it is a sporting one.

Tennis has influenced the fashion world quite a bit, whether it’s taking Lacoste tops from the court to the streets, or making Stan Smith a household name. Take advantage of this tennis season by looking the part — high ponytails included!

1. Shoes that have style

Keep it cool this tennis season with this contemporary take on a classic sneaker. They are simple and feminine with a totally lightweight feel and an exclusive look. Wear them with a little white skirt, or even some skinny jeans for that sporty, yet totally street cool look. Also you cannot deny how comfy these shoes are. You could spend the whole day walking around in them.

2. An old-school skort

Remember back in elementary school, when you’d wear a skort, so you could run around, do handstands and play tag without worrying about showing a little too much? Well time to travel back to those times. This crossed wrap-style skort with metal button detail in the front is a great tennis-influenced piece. The light colour means you can pair it with a huge range of tops, including white, if you want to play it safe, or a mustard yellow, for a strong contrast.

3. A simple and straightforward logo tee

Since you’ll be wandering around all day, opt for a light piece that’s versatile enough to pair with most bottoms, mini skirt, mum jeans or even underneath a dress. This ecologically grown cotton T-shirt with a slogan is a great option for the tennis look.

4. A comfy light dress

I am all about the slouchy look, and I’m obsessed with this colour! It’s light and airy and gives you room to walk and move around. Pair this knit dress with the pink Ecco shoes to get the ultimate cool-girl look. The dress is also cinched with a texture tie at the waist, which means you don’t lose your shape.
