Lululemon follows up popular tennis launch with on-trend summer collection

Who wore what? Style Points breaks down the latest collabs, kits and fashion statements from around the tennis world.

Since its launch in March, Lululemon’s tennis-specific collection has been a favorite among players and trendspotters alike. The Canadian sportswear giant continued to expand their footprint in the sport with the release of a new summer tennis collection.

Lululemon dropped a range of new products for women, including a new dress, mock-neck tank and high-waisted skirt, and released new colorways for their men’s tennis items as well.

Each piece is made from quick-drying fabrics, and all feature four-way stretch and advanced wicking to keep you at peak performance and free of distractions—whether it’s on your way to victory or on your way to brunch.

Many pieces from Lululemon’s tennis collection have been a popular staple in the pages of women’s fashion magazines and on summer trends lists too, as the hunger for tennis fashion still shows no signs of slowing down. Activewear has been a hot trend during this particularly hot summer, and it makes sense that tennis apparel has found itself at the top of the pack.

Not only do the clothes pack a punch on the court during summer league play, but they’re also perfect off of it, too: they’re super breathable, so they’re great for keeping cool at high temperatures; they’re super fashionable, so it’s easy to pair with any outfit; and they don’t tend to wrinkle easily, so they’re great for stuffing into a suitcase and taking on vacation.

Another huge bonus? Almost all tennis skirts and dresses come with built-in pockets, and many of them can now hold your phone and some small items as well as extra tennis balls. Finding a great skirt or dress with pockets is still sadly very rare in women’s fashion, so it’s another point for tennis clothes.

Normally, we would have been looking forward to seeing some of these items make their Wimbledon debut this year when Lululemon brand ambassador Leylah Fernandez took the court. But unfortunately the US Open finalist has not competed since the end of May after suffering a stress fracture on her foot at Roland Garros.

But hopefully we’ll get to see her back in action later this summer—Fernandez announced on an Instagram Story that she’ll be making her Citi Open debut in Washington D.C. in August.

While we await her return, you can shop the entire Lululemon tennis collection online.
