Do as Zendaya and Shop the Tenniscore Trend This Season
These tenniscore pieces will have you serving on and off the court.
As we eagerly await for the anticipated release of The Challengers—April 26th, mark your calendars—Zendaya seems to have already embraced her tennis era. Although tennis season doesn’t fully kick off until May, she was recently seen attending the Indian Wells Open in California. Flaunting a flawless bob—and a flawless boyfriend—the young actress channeled the traditional tennis whites in a full Louis Vuitton set that featured a sporty zip-up sweatshirt and lovely pleated skirt in cream, paired with a cropped ribbed tank and white low-top sneakers.
Although tennis activewear has been around for decades, the past couple of summers have seen a strong tenniscore resurgence. Led by pleated miniskirts and preppy polo shirts, traditional staples are spotted on and off the court with much more regularity—and much more style. As we get closer to the start of tennis season and we discreetly start obsessing over The Challengers, L’OFFICIEL selected the ultimate tenniscore pieces to shop now.
We can’t shop Zendaya’s cream co-ord by Louis Vuitton just yet, but this sporty zip-up cardigan by Casablanca is a great alternative. Contrasted with green and red stripes, this energetic design takes inspiration from nostalgic sportswear. Featuring a bouclé construction and two side welt pockets, this jacket can bring a touch of tenniscore to any outfit, even for those who have never picked up a racket.

With this Lacoste minidress, it's impossible to go unnoticed on the court. In a breathable fabric and featuring a built-in bra that offers support and allows free movement, this is the perfect training dress for the hot days ahead. Plus, its striking clash of colors and stylish silhouette allows you to also take it off the court and wear it in non-athletic contexts.

No one does a miniskirt like Miu Miu, even if it’s a tennis one. This ultra-short design is cut in the classic A-line silhouette and tailored to feature the signature pleats. Although this athleisure-inspired style feels more suitable for a Sunday brunch than for a Wimbledon game, its ribbed logo-embroidered waistband and double-line detail offer the perfect tenniscore aesthetic to hop on the trend.

With a V-neck cut and featuring a striped rib knit over its neck, hem, and cuffs, this timeless staple can be styled with miniskirts, dresses, and pants alike. Pair it with a crispy white polo for the ultimate tennis look.
