Tennis Skirts

Tennis skirts are the hardest-working piece in an active wardrobe. Our collection is built for real movement -- on the court, at the gym, or wherever your day takes you. Each skirt features built-in shorts for coverage, lightweight fabric that dries fast, and pockets deep enough for tennis balls or your phone.

Why Our Tennis Skirts Stand Out

Most tennis skirts sacrifice function for fashion or vice versa. Ours deliver both. The outer skirt has a clean, flattering A-line shape that moves freely during lateral slides and overhead serves. Underneath, the built-in compression shorts prevent chafing and provide secure coverage through every lunge, sprint, and stretch.

  • Built-in compression shorts with no-ride design
  • Lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that dries in minutes
  • Deep side pockets hold tennis balls, phone, or keys
  • High-waisted fit that stays in place during movement
  • A-line silhouette flatters every body type
  • Sizes XS to XL

More Than Just Tennis

Do not let the name fool you. Tennis skirts are one of the most versatile athletic pieces you can own. Our customers wear them for pickleball, golf, hiking, running, and casual everyday wear. The combination of a feminine silhouette with genuine athletic performance is what makes them a year-round staple.

Tennis Skirts vs. Tennis Skorts

The main difference is the inner layer. Tennis skirts have a shorter, lighter built-in short designed for maximum airflow and freedom. Tennis skorts have a longer, more fitted compression short that provides additional thigh coverage. If you prefer minimal fabric and maximum mobility, go with the skirt. If you want more coverage and support, the skort is your pick.

Common Questions About Tennis Skirts

Do the built-in shorts ride up? No. The inner shorts are made with a compression fit and silicone grip hem that keeps them locked in place through serves, volleys, and sprints.

Are the pockets big enough for tennis balls? Yes. Both side pockets are sized for standard tennis balls. Most customers also use them for their phone, keys, or a card.

Can I wear these for golf? Absolutely. The modest A-line length and clean design works perfectly for golf, pickleball, and any sport where you want coverage with freedom of movement.

What tops pair best with tennis skirts? A fitted tank or racerback sports bra is the classic pairing. For cooler weather, layer with a cropped hoodie or lightweight pullover.

How should I size these? True to size. The waistband has light stretch so there is no need to size up for comfort. Our model is 5'7" and wears a size Small.
