How to Work Tennis into Your Everyday Look

When it’s more than a hobby, it’s a way of life

If the “pop” of a tennis ball against a racquet gets your immediate attention, you’ve got the physical tell-tale signs of an avid player (one arm bigger than the other) or the injuries of an enthusiastic spectator (a sore neck from keeping your eye too closely on the ball) and your sleeping patterns revolve around the Australian Open, then it’s safe to say you’re a true tennis fan.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert for Lacoste

It’s nothing to shy away from, in fact it’s something to embrace, so we’re taking your obsession and turning it into a new way of life. Lucky for you, of all the sports it’s the easiest to wear without looking out of place, so here are all the tennis-themed essentials that you can wear on the regular.

Lacoste’s Carnaby Evo sneakers are a style you won’t want to take off. Their smooth leather upper means they’re nice enough to wear to smart-casual situations, even work if the dress code permits, and the flash of green terry towelling will remind of lawn courts even when you’re at the office.

In an ideal world, we’d wear nothing but our true tennis gear twenty-four-seven, sweatbands and all, someone’s gotta pay the bills, so for the times you need to sharpen up, think Wimbledon whites, like Lacoste’s cotton Oxford Shirt.

When it’s too hot to play and there’s nothing showing on the tele, you can still get your tennis fix while you swim with a pair of Lacoste’s tennis ball green Basic Swim Shorts and Frasier 318 Slides.

If you’re a diehard fan even your t-shirt collection should have a tennis twist – our pick is Lacoste’s Colour-Block T-Shirt with Pocket because sometimes it’s the closest we can get to blue hard courts.
