For those looking to ace fashion-meets-function, a pleated tennis skirt is the ultimate serve. A sartorial statement that doubles as athleticwear, this preppy classic is, without a doubt, the most coveted wardrobe item of the season. It arrives haute off the release of “Challengers” — a buzzy film that revolves around the sport but is also decidedly all about the fashion.
(Costume designer Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe , dreamed up the ultimate in spectator chic for the movie’s stylish star, Zendaya .) It’s no surprise that tenniscore and its polite aesthetic have gone viral (cue the delicate wrists-dripping-in-Rolexes round of applause here). We’re partial to this stripy number (above) by Sporty & Rich, a Paris-based label founded in 2014 by Emily Oberg.
The creative — who previously worked at Kith and utilizes a limited-edition drop approach — knows a thing or two about curating lifestyle lust. Oberg’s is an aspirational moodboard that celebrates sun-soaked summer days warming up on hard courts for rallies, followed by gossip-fueled gin-and-tonics at the country club. Slip on the pleated skirt and these other tennis-inspired accessories for a truly ace look.
Love all..
