Comfort is the name of a game at a tennis match so sneakers are a no brainer especially this blush-colored leather pair. The subtle hue makes them a great summer to fall transitional piece.

If you’re heading to see a night match, bringing a light outer layer is a must. A classic button-down is a Grand Slam in chambray or cotton with a touch of stretchy elastane. Rock it with a tennis skirt if you want to be fully in the spirit of the sport. Or, you can even dress it up with jeans and a pair of pumps. This season is also leaning heavy on athletic and vintage sweatshirts if a little blast from the past is your flavor, too.
