Competitive tennis: what outfit to choose

Respecting tournament rules

In competition, some federations or clubs impose dress codes: solid colors, logo limitations, skirt or shorts length, or the obligation to wear a matching top. Before a tournament, it is advisable to check the specific rules with the organizer to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

• Opt for men's tennis polos or women's that comply with color requirements.
• Provide skirts or women's shorts adapted to length standards.
• For men, opt for tennis shorts without excessive patterns.

Performance and comfort on the court

A competition requires equipment that allows total freedom of movement while effectively managing perspiration. Technical materials like high-performance polyester or breathable mesh are ideal for maintaining freshness and limiting discomfort related to humidity.

• Choose quick-drying tops, such as technical men's t-shirts or women's.
• Opt for ergonomic cuts to avoid chafing and irritation.
• Provide a cap or a headband to improve visibility in sunny weather.

Adapting your outfit to weather conditions

As tournaments often take place outdoors, the outfit must also be adapted to the season: light and breathable clothing in summer, layering with a jacket or sweatshirt for winter matches. A women's sweatshirt or a men's sweatshirt can help stay warm between exchanges.

Don't neglect accessories

Details matter in competition. Technical socks reduce the risk of blisters, a wristband allows for quick sweat wiping, and a headband protects the eyes from sweat drops. These accessories may seem secondary, but they directly contribute to performance.
