It's time to ditch the antiquated all-white tennis dress code—Serena Williams certainly has. Today, serving in style has been made easy thanks to sport-forward designer duds and a long list of activewear collabs. But you don't have to hit the court to sport the looks. From classically preppy collegiate-style sweaters to Royal Tenenbaum-esque accessories, these separates, paired together, are a match made in heaven.


The Skirt

Give your biker shorts a day off in favor of a comfy, flattering tennis skirt. Choose from pleats, ruffles, or a structured A-line silhouette.


The Top

Preppy stripes, cable knits, and sweater vests don't have to read stuffy. Go for a grand slam embroidery design a la Gucci or an extra roomy cardigan fit.


The Shoe

The modern day tennis shoe marries fashion and function effortlessly. Up your game with a fresh pair.


The Bracelet

Diamonds on the court? You betcha. Retired tennis star Chris Evert catapulted the "tennis bracelet" to fame when a diamond-clad bracelet fell off of her wrist during a heated 1987 match.


The Accessories

Put a spin on traditional accessories with designer logo'd sweat bands, tennis balls, belt bags, and socks.

And as an FYI—if you buy one of the gorgeous Lacoste pieces, don't forgot to use one of our Lacoste promo codes at checkout.
