Tennis Skirts Have Quietly Become the Ultimate Must-Have

There’s always been something so bougie about the tennis skirt. Before they became a major street style look, tennis skirts were reserved for, well, the tennis court—or, at the very least, hanging out at the country club. Either way, they represented old money with extra time on its hands. And while most of us don’t spend our days galavanting at country clubs sipping extra-dry martinis, that hasn’t stopped plus-size tennis skirts from becoming one of the season’s must-have trends. Looks like ~the club~ just got a few more members—and a major, more accessible upgrade.

Whether you actually did grow up playing tennis during the summer months or have never once stepped foot on a tennis court in your life, it doesn’t really matter. The tennis skirt has officially made its way into the mainstream. Thankfully, there’s no racket necessary to make this article of clothing a look, either. Plus-size tennis skirts are surprisingly versatile and can pair well with far more than a simple workout top or polo tank (though both of those look great, too). Add a cropped tee or sweatshirt and fashion sneakers for an easy, cool look. Or, when the weather’s chilly, try a cozy turtleneck and your favorite booties. You can make these ensembles soft, punk, romantic, femme—anything your heart desires. The styling possibilities are limitless.

There’s a bit of ’90s prep in there, too—making this trend both vintage-inspired and perfect for the present day. Think Clueless and Cruel Intentions meet Gossip Girl and Riverdale. Honestly, it’s everything you could ever want in a fun and flirty skirt. And no matter if you’re into classic white and black hues or love a good plaid, there’s an option waiting to become part of an effortlessly chic street style outfit. These beauts are the trendy pick your closet deserves this season, K?
