Tenniscore has arrived on the court and beyond, bridging the worlds of sports and fashion in a way that models and modeling enthusiasts will find inspiring. Over the past year of working from home, fashion magazines have repeatedly highlighted the “corona uniform”—soft sweatpants, loungewear, and baby tees—but now the focus is shifting. While sweatpants were once mainly used for casual comfort, today they share space with tennis-inspired outfits as part of a new sporty trend that models on social media and in street style are embracing.
Once considered a sport reserved for the upper class, tennis has now become a key influence in fashion brands and chain stores alike. From Tory Burch’s sports lines and Adidas’ Tennis Luxe collection to Zara, Rowing Blazers, Gina Tricot, H&M, Filippa K, and American Apparel, tennis-inspired looks are everywhere. Modeling agencies have noticed the shift, too, as models sport tenniscore in shoots that highlight the mix of comfort and chic sporty aesthetics. On Instagram, searches for the hashtag #tenniscore have doubled in the past two months, proving that this trend is more than just a passing fad.
Classic tennis staples, like the white pleated skirt and preppy piqué jerseys, remain iconic. Whether on the court or styled for everyday life, these pieces embody the sporty elegance that modeling agencies often showcase in campaigns. Fashion scientist Pia Henriksen explains that short folding skirts are less about playing tennis and more about modeling a lifestyle, a crossover between athletic functionality and street-ready style. For models, modeling tennis-inspired looks has become a fresh way to show versatility in portfolios, blending sporty charm with high-fashion sensibilities.
The history of tennis fashion also plays a role in its current popularity. René Lacoste transformed tennis into a fashion statement, and today, tennis-inspired outfits signal sophistication, even when interpreted through casual or tech fabrics. Models wearing tenniscore pieces—from breathable singlets and skirts to jumpsuits inspired by Serena Williams—demonstrate how modeling can highlight functionality, comfort, and style simultaneously. Model agencies increasingly encourage these looks for campaigns, knowing that audiences respond to fashion that resonates both on and off the court.
Tennis clubs have noticed the trend too. Jesper Bollius, general manager of Ullern Tennis Club, reports record numbers of new members, many drawn by the aesthetic of the sport as much as by the game itself. Models posing in retro Björn Borg-inspired outfits or all-white ensembles further reinforce tenniscore’s reach, turning what was once a niche style into a widely embraced fashion movement. Whether you are a model, a fan of modeling, or simply following sporty fashion trends, tenniscore proves that athletic heritage can seamlessly influence everyday wardrobe choices.
