Tennis Anyone? Style Tips for Racquet Play

 



Now that summer is here, you may want to accept those invitations to play tennis or pickleball with friends, colleagues and family.  It's great exercise and if you play at a private venue such as The Bridgehampton Tennis and Surf Club, you can even make a day of it with lunch afterwards and cocktails on the beach.  Yes, you'll need to pack a change of clothes but even that can be easy to do with the right fabric/style choice. Here are a few of my favorite tips for a fabulous day out on the courts and beyond.








I'm giving a nod to The Hampton's with its beautiful coastline and beachfront with Helen Ficalora's Sterling Silver Scallop Shell necklace. This NYC based jeweler makes lovely pieces that work with almost any outfit or ensemble.  Just because you're dressed for "match-point" doesn't mean you can't wear jewelry.  Many of Helen's pieces are delicate and demur for understated elegance.

Here in The Hamptons, I play in them all the time and they never get in the way.  Visit her website to experience her entire collection at HelenFicalora.com




Court Girl Tennis Racquet Hat

This cool yet functional cap is a must for tennis or pickleball.  One of the features I really like is the tinted visor.  It allows you to see through the peak while shielding your eyes from the sun.  Very smart for those shots you'd normally miss due to that blind-spot found in most baseball-styled tennis caps and visors.

Perforated and ventilated, it helps to keep your head cool, and the cap itself is adjustable.  Topflight design from CourtGirl.com

What to Pack for after Court Time

So, what do you bring to transition from the court to lunch or cocktails later?  Well, this lovely little navy dress was simply rolled up and packed in my sports duffle bag.  After steaming, I simply folded and rolled it up.  It came out just as you see it here after being in my bag all day.

So easy to wear and very flattering.  Here on the beach, I am wearing shells, but a string of pearls would also set this outfit off.  One of my favorite designs, this Alyssa V-Back dress is easy-care and always looks fabulous.  See it at NoraGardner.com
