Have you heard of tennis-core yet?
It’s a trend that’s recently taken the fashion world by storm, winning the hearts of both sports and fashion fans around the globe. In Poland, this style is growing like crazy – thanks in large part to the successes of Iga Świątek, Magda Linette, Magdalena Fręch, and Hubert Hurkacz.
So, what’s tennis-core all about?
Put simply, tennis-core is a trend inspired by tennis fashion. Imagine classic white skirts and dresses, polo shirts, striped sweaters, white sneakers, and caps – that’s the essence of tennis-core.
Why does everyone suddenly want to look like tennis stars?
The success of the tennis-core trend can be explained by a few key factors. First, the pandemic made people look for outdoor activities, and tennis fit the bill perfectly.
Second, social media, especially TikTok, played a huge role. Hashtags like #tenniscore and #tennisoutfit are trending, with users eagerly sharing their tennis-inspired looks.
Third, the rising popularity of tennis stars is undeniable. Big names like Świątek, Sabalenka, Osaka, Gauff, Djoković, Sinner, Alcaraz, Berrettini – and earlier legends like Williams, Nadal, and Federer – grab attention not just with their athletic skills but also with their style.
Add to that a few tennis-themed movies and series, like "Challengers" starring Zendaya, "King Richard" with Will Smith, or Netflix’s documentary series "Break Point", and you have the perfect recipe for a fashion hit.
Is tennis-core only for the elite? Not at all!
Modern tennis-core has nothing to do with elitism or snobbery. It’s a trend for anyone who values comfort, simplicity, and timeless style.
The key to nailing the look is mixing tennis pieces with everyday clothing. A pleated skirt looks great with both a t-shirt and sneakers or an elegant blouse and loafers. A polo shirt works not only on the court but also at work or for a casual hangout with friends.
But let’s remember, tennis-core is all about having fun with fashion! Don’t be afraid to experiment and create your own take on the trend. 😉
