The tenniscore trend is so back (and only partially fueled by our ongoing "Challengers" obsession and the upcoming US Open). If you're new to the preppy aesthetic, expect to find tailored silhouettes, bright colors, and sporty details, making for a sweet spot where fashion meets athleisure. We love to see the trend continue to gain traction, but in our opinion, the real tenniscore MVPs are actually the tennis skirts.

Although we've become accustomed to tennis skirts on the court, they're just as stylish without a racket in hand. The iconic short pleated skirts we think of today were actually popularized back in the 1920s (a welcome change from the long, bulky skirts women played in before). Nowadays, as women continue to dominate the sport, tennis skirts have grown shorter and more lightweight for optimal play, rendering them both cute and practical. Even Taylor Swift sports them during her rehearsals. Keep reading to shop 10 of the best tennis skirts on the market, with picks from Lululemon, Amazon, and more.

01
An Extra High-Waisted Tennis Skort

An Extra High-Waisted Tennis Skort

Old Navy Extra High-Waisted PowerSoft Skort ($28, originally $35)

This tennis skirt is both cute and affordable, made with light compression fabric and built-in biker shorts. It also comes in colors like navy blue, white, and black, and we especially appreciate the extra high waistband. "Love this skirt so much I went back and bought all the colors!" one reviewer wrote, continuing, "Fit is great. Covers my tummy. I love the hidden pocket for cell phone."

02
A Pleated Tennis Skirt From Halara

A Pleated Tennis Skirt From Halara

Halara Breezeful High Waisted Pleated Skirt ($30, originally $40)

With four-way stretch and sweat-wicking capabilities, it's no wonder this Halara skirt is a favorite of Taylor Swift's. It offers a breathable and lightweight feel with a high-waisted design that is flattering and comfortable. You can also adjust the buckle at the leg for a more secure fit. It comes in a ton of different colors as well, and at this affordable price point, you might as well stock up on a few.

03
Bestselling Tennis Skirt on Amazon

Bestselling Tennis Skirt on Amazon

Baleaf Pleated Tennis Skirt ($30, originally $36)

The list wouldn't be complete without a little something pink. This shade from Amazon is perfectly Barbiecore and so light it almost qualifies as a neutral. Reviewers appreciate that it's both flattering and comfortable for tennis or everyday wear. "This is the perfect skort for golf, tennis, pickleball or running errands," one shopper wrote. "Will definitely be ordering more colors."

04
A Wrap Tennis Skirt From Abercrombie

A Wrap Tennis Skirt From Abercrombie

Abercrombie YPB sculptLUX Lined Wrap Skirt ($38, originally $45)

We're obsessed with this matching set from Abercrombie, but honestly, the wrap skirt speaks for itself. From the YPB sculptLUX line, this activewear is stretchy, sweat-wicking, and seriously stylish. "Great material and color," one reviewer wrote. "Length isn't too short and it's perfect for summer."

05
A Mini Tennis Skirt From Free People

A Mini Tennis Skirt From Free People

Free People Hot Shot Mini Skort ($58)

This Free People tennis skirt has 11 different colors to choose from, but we might like this ivory best. Although it's less of a tennis skirt and more of a tennis skort, we'd argue this still makes the cut. The thigh slit and zipper detail are also big wins in our book (not to mention its rave reviews). "Lightweight and adorable - can be dressed up or down," one reviewer wrote.

06
A Tennis Skirt Worn By Taylor Swift

A Tennis Skirt Worn By Taylor Swift

Popflex Active Pirouette Skort ($60)

The Popflex Active Pirouette Skort has recently blown up on TikTok thanks to Taylor Swift. You can spot the skort in the official music video for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," where Swift is seen rehearsing for The Eras Tour. It has a medium compression level, an adjustable waist, and pockets. It comes in a wide range of colors, but the Digital Lavender shade is the one that Swift wears.

07
A Lightweight Tennis Skirt From Alo

A Lightweight Tennis Skirt From Alo

Alo Match Point Tennis Skirt ($68)

There's a reason this Alo tennis skirt sells out so fast. Made of breezy performance fabric, the material is designed to "swish" around with you — on or off the court. The boxer-style waistband and miniskirt style makes it so easy to style (the Alo site suggests pairing with a hoodie, bra top, or blazer). "The best athletic skirt ever," one reviewer wrote. "It's very simple and versatile. I plan to wear with sweat shirts and loafers."

08
A Tennis Skort That Stays In Place
athleta.gap.com

A Tennis Skort That Stays In Place

Athleta Ace High Rice 13 1/2 Tennis Skirt ($69)

This Athleta tennis skirt has internal hem grippers at the skort, which means it won't budge no matter what your plans are. Plus, it's designed with a high-rise waistband and plenty of pocket space — functional and fashionable. "This can be worn for athletic, athleisure, or even dressed up to be fancier," one reviewer wrote. "I love skorts for their practicality and this does not disappoint for the price."

09
A Breathable Tennis Skirt From Lululemon
shop.lululemon.com

A Breathable Tennis Skirt From Lululemon

Lululemon Side-Pleat High-Rise Tennis Skirt ($88)

If you're looking for a more classic option, this skirt is definitely a strong contender. It comes with a wide waistband, crisp side pleats, and (best of all) pockets. The liner even has mesh panels to keep you cool throughout the day. Reviewers like that they can wear this skirt on or off the court, saying, "Cute skirt to wear to brunch or for fitness."

10
A Pleated Tennis Skirt From Lululemon
shop.lululemon.com

A Pleated Tennis Skirt From Lululemon

Lululemon Varsity High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt ($88)

This pleated pick comes in several different colors, but we can't stop staring at this emerald green. It's specifically designed for tennis, but according to the reviews, it works for any court. "This tennis skirt is so cute and super comfy," one reviewer wrote. "I got so many compliments when I wore it at my pickleball tournament." As a note, although the skirt does come with built-in shorts, some taller shoppers say it still runs a little short. If you're a fan of the mini look — this one might be perfect for you.
