The luxury industry has had a long-lived love affair with the world of tennis. A passionate partnering that has come to full fruition over the past couple of seasons, with designers consistently serving up sports-inspired collections. You have Miu Miu's tennis collection in 2022, Stella McCartney's long and successful collaboration with Adidas, and Thom Browne's tennis capsule for SS24, just to name a few. Lest we forget Gucci's recent court-appropriate collection revealed just in time for Wimbledon.
The beauty of luxury brands tapping into the activewear category is that there's no need to compromise – these pieces get the match point for both high fashion and high performance. Better yet, the polo shirts, pleated skirts and sporty dresses play doubles in your wardrobe, working just as well on grass and clay as city pavements and cobblestones.
