Our Picks for Best Tennis Skirts

Straight or A-line skirts give off a very sporty vibe. This simple silhouette provides plenty of comfort on the court, and it can be styled to fit your mood. For a more athletic style, pair it with a racerback tank or cap sleeve top, or go more court preppy with a collared shirt, like we did here with the Vuori Polo Tank. We love this Vuori Volley skirt for its clean styling and luxurious feel. There are also bonus design features like the pockets on the inner shortie.

The Sofibella UV Solid Skirt is a staff favorite because it comes two lengths, is available in an array of colors and has a pleated detail in the back. The front of the skirt is a clean, sporty look, while the pleat in the back offers a bit of a more forgiving fit and feel.

There’s something quintessentially tennis about a pleated skirt, and the Fila Essentials Woven Pleat Skirt is a perfect example. In our how to choose a tennis skirt article, we explain that woven materials are best for pleated skirts because they retain their pleats well, and this Fila skirt gets that right. The skirt has a full pleated design and comes in several colors for easy mixing and matching.

The Lacoste Player Skirt gives you pleats with added style personality. The mix of sizing in the pleats of this skirt elevates the look and keeps it fresh for 2024.

If you’re looking for a skirt that’s flowy and has just a hint of “twirl” factor, you should check out flouncy skirts. Our current favorite is the Nike Advantage Flouncy Skirt. This skirt is a winner for us because of how it fits. The waistband sits flush to your waist and has a premium feel, and the inner shortie is very comfortable plus has drop-in pockets.

The adidas Gameset Match Skirt drapes nicely for an easy fit and feel. An inverted pleat at the sides helps the skirt flare slightly, which gives the skirt a bit of extra movement. The fact that adidas uses recycled polyester to make these skirts is an added bonus.

Although most tennis skirts fall somewhere in the 12- to 14-inch range, some players will be looking for something longer. To find the longest skirts at Tennis Warehouse, be sure to filter skirts by length and select longer than 15 inches. We’ve picked the InPhorm Classic Skirt in the 15.5-inch length (measured in a size small) as our favorite long skirt. The mesh trim at the hem and asymmetrical flounce are flattering. You can get this skirt in all the core colors for tennis: black, white or midnight navy.

Our honorable mention pick isn’t one particular style. As a brand, Jofit offers longer skirts in a variety of styles. Most of the skirts measure at least 15 inches long, and they also often have fun features like side or back pockets.

Lucky in Love knows how to keep tennis skirts fun! We’ve picked their core scallop skirt as our favorite tiered or layered skirt. The essential colors have been in the line for years and are perennial favorites, but the look does come in a variety of seasonal prints. You can also get them with built-in capri-length tights. What helps to set this skirt apart is that there is mesh underneath the layers to help keep the skirt feeling lightweight despite all the layers.

The LIJA Match Skirt is another longtime favorite. The fabric feels so soft, and we love that this version of the layered skirt has a bit of ruffle to it. This skirt is available in your essential colors along with seasonal solids. The Match Skirt is a bit longer than our Lucky in Love pick for a bit more coverage.

The most common way players store extra balls is to tuck them under the hem of the inner tight of a skirt. Other skirts might have ball pockets on the tight, but for players who would rather not have the ball against their leg, ON’RE offers quick, easy storage in the waistband. The ball pockets at the back waist can store up to four tennis balls.
