If you don’t want to look like you’re dressed up as a tennis player, but still want the preppy, sporty vibe, a simple tennis dress may be your best option. Instead of obvious polo collars and pleated skirts, opt for a more elegant and subtle style like this one. Vuori One Shot Tennis Dress. Like the Vuori Skort, this tennis dress is also made with BreatheInterlock fabric and has hidden shorts. But these shorts are the same material, rather than mesh, and fit more like a jumpsuit. It also has a lined bra for added support and coverage.
I decided to wear my Vuori tennis dress for a modern “elevated athleisure” look. I paired it with bright white sporty sleeves because, well, a shrug can elevate anything. I also opted for my trendy plaid Nike Cortez sneakers instead of basic white tennis shoes, but I could have easily worn strappy sandals with this dress as well. However, I had the most fun with my jewelry: I wore pearl earrings, an asymmetrical bead necklace, and a sparkly belly chain. I then completed the outfit with white crystal-embellished sunglasses and a buttery blue top-handle bag. In the end it felt classy and certainly not cheesy.
