Summer sports wear to take you from the tennis court to the club

Let’s kick off with the floaty shorts we mentioned. Performance and wellness brand Varley’s ‘alder short’ is an ideal summer item, designed to fit loose it’ll keep breezy. There’s nice deep pockets to keep the loose change in for the ice cream van, and a soft fabric that’ll both wick away sweat and dry quickly. Perfect.

Look, few sports translate to good fashion like tennis does. This dress from Beyond Yoga is a prime example, though. The silhouette is flattering but snug, the contrast binding provides a vintage feel and elevates the garment to something you could wear from yoga straight to a little al fresco summer drinks and food sitch. As with much sportswear, there’s a built in shelf-bra, the fabric wicks away moisture, making it great to wear on the super hot days (plus spf!)

This looks like a sort of 1950s skirt that has been given the high fashion treatment, and it basically is! Crafted from merino wool, the button-down mini skirt has hand-sewn bobbles, and cable knit detailing, the skirt isn’t necessarily one to go swinging a racket in, but it sure might be one to sit somewhere nice watching the tennis, or doing basically anything else this summer. Just look at it, gorgeous sporty attire!

A real gym to club item, this bright cheery sports bra from P.E nation is retro-inspired in the fashion department and full of useful technical know-how on the material side. Functionally, there’s light-to-medium support and the fabric is designed to keep you cool in summer climes while allowing plenty of breathability as you cut shapes (or you know, do yoga or something).

An ideal tennis skort which is minimal and chic yet notably sporty with thin black stripes down the sides and a drawstring waist. The inner shorts are designed with pockets that can hold tennis balls, but that’s not to say you couldn’t keep your keys, phone, a little purse with the loyalty card for a free iced americano inside also. The simple elegant design can be dressed up with ease.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a tote bag, nothing at all. Simple canvas and a design that reflects something about your life (even if that’s where you shop or were given it from for free). But, they do get a bit dirty and heavy and all of that (plus zips are kinda good). This sweat bag is anti-bacterial and water resistant, and it comes with a bunch of travel bottles and pots for storing your goods in.
