— Collage by Ashley Peña

As far as sports gear goes, it doesn’t get much chicer than a crisp set of tennis whites. The fashion world’s longstanding love affair with the sport is easy to understand: in addition to the more classic ensembles, there’s the timeless appeal of oversized polo shirts and pleated mini skirts, the fun to be had with clingy-yet-technical mini dresses, and the versatile perfection of all the preppy-casual accessories that complete the look. With the release of Luca Guadagnino’s sexy tennis drama Challengersand Zendaya’s on-theme press tour looks—the interest in court-appropriate fashion has reached a fever pitch, from the runways to the streets.
