I played tennis for the majority of my life, so I know full well that you can have a great workout in a dress. In fact, most of the time, dresses are my preferred outfit on the court. Lots of brands are on the same page as me — including Old Navy, Amazon, Alo Yoga, Outdoor Voices, Lululemon, and more — because they’re coming out with exercise dresses that fit perfectly into my ideal warm-weather aesthetic.
These looks are right on trend with larger fashion moments like tenniscore, the quiet luxury and old money aesthetic, Barbiecore, and the coastal grandmother aesthetic. Even Taylor Swift is often spotted in workout dresses and skirts. There’s also been an increased interest in court sports like pickleball and tennis, especially ahead of the upcoming US Open.
This is all to say there’s a perfect storm of factors setting up workout dresses to take over your warm-weather wardrobe. Personally, I’ll be wearing these exercise dresses on the court, on a hike, or even sweating it out in dance cardio class, but you can also dress them up for travel, errands, or brunch. Whether you want tons of support or a comfy wear-all-day piece, you’re sure to find your perfect fit.
