US Open Is a Fashion Grand Slam

As always, I am really enjoying the US Open right now. I love watching all the strong players battle it out on the court, but this year I am noticing an added element to the game: fashion. Maybe it was because Anna Wintour has been frequenting the stands or because fashion week is just around the corner, but the tennis outfits are awesome this year. The colors are bright and the dresses and Read more

Get Your Butt in Gear: Trendy Tennis Clothes

Have you heard? Tennis is trendy. Ticket sales are up for the US Open, and participation in the sport increased 18.7 percent last year. As a result, sales of tennis clothes are also on the rise. In the US, tennis apparel rung up $294.6 million in sales last year; Reebok's US tennis revenue alone is up 62 percent! I certainly can't blame shoppers for snatching up cute clothes for one of the most Read more

Sharapova's Red Nike Tennis Dress: Cool or NOT?

Maria Sharapova, defending U.S. Open champion, is one sharp dresser. Her red tennis dress for nighttime play (she has a different outfit dedicated for daytime play) seems more evening gown than tennis dress, to me. OK, so the tennis dress, designed by Nike, is a celebration of New York in functional fashion form. The bright red-flame color represents the Big Apple and the 600 Swarovski Read more

Get Your Butt in Gear: Adidas YOC Dress

Just when I thought that tennis gear could not get any cuter, I find another awesome dress from Adidas. The Adidas YOC Dress ($48.99) does not look like a tennis dress if you ask me. I am loving the brown and pink (though it also comes in white and pink)! Worried about where you're going to keep your balls? This dress features a kangaroo pouch pocket at the skirt. The mesh detailing at front Read more

Get Your Butt in Gear: Disruptive Tennis Dress

When I think of a tennis competition I think of the quiet crowd and the Wimbledon line judges calling all the ladies "Miss." I do not think Disruptive. That is the name of the spring tennis collection by Serena Williams for Nike. This modern tennis dress is made from a combination of Nike's Dri-FIT fabric and engineered mesh to regulate your body temperature. You look hot, but your body Read more

Get Your Butt in Gear: Tennis Dress

Spring is here and it's time for making love... not that kind of love, I am talking tennis here (geez, get your mind out of the gutter). One of my favorite things about spring is all the opportunity for spending time outside, which means it's time to dust off the 'ole tennis racket. Problem is that while my racket does not seem to go out of style, my tennis clothes sure do. This is why I am Read more
