The Tennis Dress Is the Look You Should Be Serving This Fall

The US Open main draw starts today, and while we already know what Roger Federer will be wearing on the court this season, for those of us off the court, there are plenty of other tennis-inspired looks to get you in the mood for a match.

Whether you’re a tennis enthusiast or not, take note: these dresses will serve the ace to all of your transitional dressing woes. While summer temperatures linger into the first few weeks of the fall season, consider a dress inspired by the most stylish of sports—for a super-hot September day, there’s the classic sleeveless tank version in styles from Tory Burch and Rag & Bone; while a long-sleeve, knee-length silhouette is the perfect opponent for chillier days as fall enters the picture. Horizontal stripes and pleated skirts give a nod to the original tennis frock, as does the drop waist and shift silhouettes, while half-zips and polo collars bring a sporty twist to this season’s best set of shirtdresses.

Both sophisticated and sporty, modest and stylish, the tennis dress is a winning combination for seasonal dressing between the office and the weekend. Here, shop 12 tennis dresses to wear now and love all season long. Game, set, match.
