These Sporty Skirts Are the Secret to Summer Dressing

August 3, 2020

We all love a good miniskirt. Especially this time of year. But now the seasonal staple is getting a sporty makeover. That’s because tennis skirts are taking over Instagram and many influencers’ wardrobes. The classic tennis skirt usually involves defined pleats and a pretty short hemline. Thankfully, many versions either come with shorts underneath or in skort format. So you don’t need to worry about accidentally flashing anyone. Keep the preppy vibes going by sporting your skirt(s) of choice with a short-sleeve polo or a tank. If you want it to be clear that you’re not headed to the court, style your skirts with a structured top or a band tee. You can also try a tie-front blouse. Box-fresh sneakers or flat sandals are key to finishing off the look. Get your game on by scoring the most stylish tennis skirts around in the slideshow above.
