I played tennis for the majority of my life, so I know full well that you can have a great workout in a dress. In fact, most of the time, dresses are my preferred outfit on the court. Now that the weather’s warming up, I plan to spend almost all of my time in a dress.
Lots of brands are on the same page as me – including Old Navy, Amazon, Alo Yoga, Outdoor Voices, Lululemon, and more – because they’re coming out with exercise dresses that fit perfectly into my ideal warm-weather aesthetic. These looks are right on trend with larger fashion moments like tenniscore, Barbiecore, and the coastal grandmother aesthetic, as well as the increased celeb and influencer interest in tennis, pickleball, and other court sports.
This is all to say, there’s a perfect storm of factors setting up workout dresses to take over your warm-weather wardrobe. Personally, I’ll be wearing these exercise dresses on the court, on a hike, or even sweating it out in dance cardio class, but you can also dress them up for travel, errands, or brunch. Whether you want tons of support or a comfy wear-all-day piece, you’re sure to find your perfect fit.
