Have you ever thought to yourself, “I wish I had a comfy, sporty, flirty version of leggings that wasn't a pair of pants”? Enter the tennis skirt — the ‘70s courtside staple is back in style, and we have the cutest tennis skirt outfits for you to recreate ASAP.

There's no need to be playing the actual sport to take tenniscore inspo from casual players (like Princess Diana) and pros (like Serena Williams) alike. The tennis skirt, which comes in both straight and skater silhouettes, is perfect for achieving that leisurely, shoreside Coastal Granddaughter vibe. You'll also find that tennis skirts are an excellent substitute for your regular biker shorts, as most have built-in shorts underneath for comfort and modesty.

When it comes to styling, sometimes all you need is a matching sports bra or crop tank — perfect for a Hot Girl Walk™️ or a run through the park. Alternatively, you could tie a sweater around your shoulders, layer a polo under a varsity sweatshirt, or even style your tennis skirt with a leather jacket and combat boots for a grunge look. Whether you’re planning on breaking a sweat or just sitting courtside, here are our favorite tennis skirt outfits to wear this summer.
