For some, tennis is just a sport; for others, it's an aesthetic. The trend known as "tenniscore" has recently gained popularity, thanks to TikTok and brands like Miu Miu and Celine. This distinctive style features pleats, form-fitting bodices, and skorts, and is moving from the court to everyday street fashion.

Though contemporary tennis fashion has an element of luxury, its origins were far less extravagant. In the late 1800s, players had to wear all white as a symbol of purity and virtue. Men donned cardigans or sweater vests, shirts, and flannel pants, while women played in ankle-length, corseted white dresses. This remained the norm until 1887, when 15-year-old prodigy Charlotte Dod wore a white blouse and calf-length skirt at the prestigious Wimbledon tournament.
