What is Tenniscore and How to Style It

You’ve probably heard about the tenniscore style. And you most likely heard about it following the release of the movie "Challengers" and the stunning looks actress Zendaya has sported at every appearance. But what exactly is tenniscore?

This trend dives into a sporty aesthetic brought into the realm of chic. However, we must tell you that it’s not a new trend; it has its roots in the fashion of the 60s and 90s.

And since sports have always been closely tied to fashion, with athletes often being the face of major brands, it was only a matter of time before this union resurfaced and became a trend again. In 2024, tenniscore returns associated with the so-called quiet luxury inspired by the old money trend of the 90s that has dominated the latest season.

Tenniscore Essentials

The tenniscore inspiration is not just about aesthetics but also emphasizes comfort. Therefore, it’s common for these pieces to be made from technical fabrics that provide greater comfort, better movement, and optimal breathability.

Additionally, the clothing that predominates in tenniscore is aesthetically inspired by traditional tennis uniforms, with a color palette ranging from white to pastel tones like blue or pink, neutrals like beige, and accents in colors like dark green and navy blue.

Lastly, we must highlight some of the pieces that should not be missing from your wardrobe if you want to embrace this trend, such as polos, pleated miniskirts, cable-knit sweaters, V-neck vests, bomber jackets, white sneakers, and high white socks.

Tenniscore Outfit

As you know, the tenniscore style mixes a slightly more casual aesthetic with formal elements, so our first suggestion starts with a plain white or pastel-colored shirt. To turn it into the perfect tenniscore outfit, you just need to add a sweater over your shoulders or a bomber jacket, a pleated skirt, and white sneakers.

Look Inspired by Zendaya

If there’s one piece that shines in Zendaya's looks in the movie "Challengers," it's the polo. So, how could we not suggest a look with one? Go for a textured knit polo in white or a soft shade to pair with a pleated skirt in a neutral color or white. You can complete the look with white sneakers and high white socks, ready for any match.

Sophisticated and Efficient Look

Is it possible to create a tenniscore look with long pants? Absolutely! What you need is wide-leg pants in a neutral color like beige, a V-neck sweater (if it’s cable-knit and has a contrasting trim, even better), and striking sneakers to give a special touch to this sophisticated yet highly efficient ensemble.

The Value of Comfort

If you want an outfit that is dressy enough for a lunch with friends but still informal and comfortable, we have the solution. You just need to combine a short-sleeved white T-shirt with skorts or a miniskirt (preferably cross or pleated), a cable-knit V-neck vest also in white, and, best of all, patent leather shoes with white socks.

Keep It Simple for Everyday Wear

Our last look suggestion is so simple that you probably already have the items in your wardrobe. You just need a striped shirt, you know, if it's in soft colors, even better, a sweater to tie around your shoulders, and sporty shorts. For footwear, you can opt for sneakers or loafers with high socks.
