The best tennis skirts deserve a place in every warm weather wardrobe, as they look great both on and off the court. Just like bike shorts and leggings, this sporty style has transitioned to everyday wear in recent years, and there’s arguably no athletic bottom more chic. Not only do tennis skirts look good, but they’re also extremely comfortable with made-to-move stretch and breathable fabric that will keep you cool no matter where your spring or summer travels take you. Most also offer built-in shorts as well as pockets for storing tennis balls and everyday essentials like smartphones and keys. Best of all, tennis skirts are incredibly easy to pack when headed on vacation: They fold into tiny squares that take up practically no room and somehow always emerge unwrinkled.

Whether you’re lunging across the court or just lounging around a resort or rental this summer, here are 19 of the best tennis skirts that will move with you all day long.

Our top picks:


Girlfriend Collective Sport Skort

This high-waisted tennis skirt features a compressive fabric that’s made from recycled water bottles and is ultra-soft and sweat-wicking. Like many other skirts on this list, it features built-in shorts; meanwhile, the mesh pockets allow for hands-free storage of your phone, keys, or headphones. Not only does it come in 10 fun color options, but it’s also available in sizes 2XS-6XL. Complete your look with this matching sports bra, and you’ll be ready to hit the court in style.

Vuori Volley Skirt

This ultra-breathable athletic skirt from Vuori features four-way stretch like many of our favorite exercise dresses and activewear. Its sweat-wicking fabric will keep you cool and dry throughout your workout—whether that involves hitting the trail or the pickleball court—while the built-in shorts and tennis ball pocket are an added bonus. Pair it with your favorite sports bra or opt for Vuori’s matching crop top.

Stelle Tennis Skirt with pockets

Available in 11 fun colorways, this tennis skirt from Stelle has a pair of built-in shorts plus two side pockets; the left one is specially designed to hold a tennis ball, while the right one is best suited for small essentials, including cash, cards, and a smartphone. Thanks to the skirt’s high-waisted design and snug flat waistband, you need not worry about it slipping down in the middle of a match.

Alo Yoga Grand Slam Tennis Skirt

This high-waisted mini skirt is one of our favorites. The hidden inner shorts have handy side pockets perfect for stashing balls and cell phones alike. Pair it with your favorite white sneakers for a game-ready look, on or off the court.

This Outdoor Voices tennis skirt has rave reviews—and with a stylish side slit, compression fabric, and handy phone pocket, it’s no wonder why. This skirt is available in white.

Beyond Yoga Spacedye Movement Skirt

This versatile skirt from Beyond Yoga is equipped with built-in shorts and a hidden interior pocket that’s specially sized for smartphones. Additional highlights include a flared A-line silhouette and a buttery-soft fabric with four-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties.

Spanx The Get Moving Skort

Moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and super stretchy, this skirt is made to move. The Spanx brand always prioritizes fit, so it’s not surprising that the inner shorts are lined with a silicone grip to keep them in place and prevent chafing. There are side pockets on the shorts and a back pocket on the double-layered, smoothing elastic waistband. The skirt is available in black, white, and melon.

GapFit Pleated Exercise Skort

Made with a blend of recycled polyester and spandex, this pretty pleated skort from Gap is just as functional as it is fashion-forward thanks to its slim-fit A-line silhouette, built-in shorts, and wide elastic waistband for optimal comfort. Choose from three hues—green, black, and white—in 2XS-2XL. Tall and petite sizes are available, too.

Outdoor Voices The Exercise Skirt

Another great option from Outdoor Voices is the Exercise Skirt—this one is slightly shorter with no side slit. It features zippered and open pockets, and the shorts beneath have leg grippers to keep them securely in place.

Athleta 15.5” Ace Tennis Skirt

Beyond tennis, this Athleta skirt is also ideal for running or golfing thanks to its fast-drying fabric, made with a combination of recycled polyester and spandex, that will keep you feeling light and fresh while breaking a sweat. In addition to offering all-around stretch, it also gives light compression, which can provide extra support to muscles and joints. Internal hem grips offer support and stability to ensure it stays put while working out. Even better? It has three pockets: one zippered pocket on the back waistband plus two stash pockets in the built-in shorts.

Lululemon Pace Rival Mid Rise Skirt Tall

This skirt transitions from tennis to trail running to summer barbecuing seamlessly. The lightweight fabric is sweat-wicking with four-way stretch, and is made to retain its shape. It’s also cool and smooth to the touch. The skirt is available in black, sonic pink, navy, hot heat (a bright red), and white.

Halara Softlyzero Tennis Skirt

There’s lots to love about this sweat-wicking tennis skirt from Halara. Its lightweight fabric feels like a second skin, while the high-waisted crossover design is both flattering and fashionable.

Choose from nearly 20 color options, including bold hues like peach and fuchsia, in sizes XS-4X.

Alo Yoga Varsity Tennis Skirt

Flattering and functional, this Alo Yoga favorite features fitted inner shorts (complete with pockets) and a super comfortable stretch fabric. This staple works equally well for fashion or sport—one reviewer noted she’s even gone climbing in it.

Tory Burch Pleated Hem White Tennis Skirt
