With a little help from this guide on how to style outfits with tennis skirts for different times of the year and varying styles, you’ll be well on your way to maximizing the potential of your tennis skirt arsenal.

Gearing Up for the Winter with Matching Sets

Outfits with tennis skirts to keep you nice and cozy during the cold winter tennis season

Matching sets made a major splash on the fashion world this past year, and the trend is more than likely to gain even more popularity as we ring in the new year. While 2021’s matching set trend focused primarily on muted tones and the classic sweatpants-sweatshirt combo, the new year seems to be bringing with it bold patterns and different combinations of clothing articles. An example of this is the outfit above, where the stylish Dona Jo Duo Jacket pairs perfectly with the Skirted Legging in Pied.  

This pairing is great for the chilly winter and early spring months of the year when you just can’t stop yourself from hitting the tennis court for a match but want to bundle up beforehand. The jacket, layered over a breathable long-sleeve athletic top, is a great piece that’s easy to take off if you feel overheated during a tennis match. Matching bold patterns look effortlessly chic together, and the best part is that you can wear them separately on days where you’d prefer for one of the pieces to make a statement on its own.

Spring into the New Year in a Chic Tennis Skirt

Oh, spring – the season when golfers return to their golf courses, tennis players return to their courts for a new season, and short tennis skirts reemerge from the closet after a long hibernation during the cool winter.

Spring is the perfect time to lighten the color scheme of your wardrobe, like the example above. The monochromatic, all-white look with a hint of black as an accessory is a great way to embrace the new season while also dressing comfortably. By pairing your tennis skirt, like the Dona Jo Jojo Skirt ECO in white above, with a soft, colorful sweater, you can be prepared for the season’s temperamental weather.

Pair your look with accessories, like sunglasses, earrings, and necklaces, to dress your look up and make a statement on and off the court.

Soak Up Some Sun in Summer Outfits with Tennis Skirts

Athletic outfits that are perfect for the hot summer months

Summer is the favorite season of many tennis fanatics – with Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Summer Olympics falling right around the middle of the season, it’s an important time of year for the sport.

Tennis players also love to utilize this season to improve their game and face off against opponents in matches out in the beautiful weather. Before hitting the court, dressing for the sport is a vital step to being prepared to practice and play. Athletic outfits with tennis skirts are a great option for feminine tennis players, and the Dona Jo Shakira Skirt in Groovy above is a great piece to look fashionable in and feel comfortable in throughout your game. With breathable fabric and shorts with pockets underneath the ruffled skirt, you can conquer any sport in this tennis skirt.

Pairing your tennis skirt with a cute sports bra, like the Dona Jo Love Bra in Groovy, is an essential piece for any summer athlete. Wearing a sports bra as your top is the perfect way to stay as cool as possible while you stay active on the court. If you’re looking for more coverage in your tennis outfit, an athletic polo or tank top are also some great options to try out.

Outfits that are Fashionable all Fall

Inspo for outfits with tennis skirts that pair well with autumn weather

Fall can be a time of change – change in the temperature, in the color of leaves, and in your wardrobe. Accommodating for the cooler weather doesn’t have to be a drag, though.

The key to changing along with the season is by adding layers to outfits. Having long sleeve shirts over tank tops and sports bras is a great way to be able to adapt to fluctuating weather while still being comfortable while playing tennis. Another classic addition to any athlete’s wardrobe is a skirted capri, like the Dona Jo Skirted Capri ECO in navy above.

Skirted capris are the perfect blend of comfortable coverage and fashion, with leggings that will keep your legs toasty and an a-line skirt that will flatter any body type. These skirted capris are also a practical addition to any player’s wardrobe – the deep pockets on each side of the leggings are the ideal place to store extra tennis balls, a phone, car keys, or anything else you bring to the court.

If you’re looking for an even more full-coverage option but still want the tennis skirt look, try out skirted leggings. The Dona Jo skirted legging collection has a wide array of patterns and designs for every type of style.

Winter, spring, summer, fall – outfits with tennis skirts are the perfect option year-round. By adding some layers with long sleeve shirts and mixing things up with a skirted legging, you’ll be able to look fabulous and stay comfortable throughout even the coldest seasons. Make it a New Year's resolution to experiment with patterns, silhouettes, and styles outside of your comfort zone as we ring in the new year!
