Tennis Clothing – FAQs

1. Do I really need specialist tennis clothing?
Yes — it’s designed for court movement, heat management, and comfort during rallies, unlike general gym wear.

2. Can I wear black or coloured clothing at tennis clubs?
It depends on the venue. Some traditional clubs (especially in the UK) require all-white clothing, especially for competitions.

3. What’s the best fabric for tennis clothing?
Look for polyester blends with moisture-wicking properties. Elastane (stretch fabric) is great for unrestricted motion.

4. Do I need tennis-specific socks?
Yes — they offer extra cushioning, arch support, and reduce friction to prevent blisters.

5. How should tennis clothes fit?
They should be fitted but flexible. Avoid anything too tight or too loose — both can restrict movement.

6. Are tennis dresses practical for regular play?
Absolutely. They’re popular among women for offering mobility, breathability, and style in one garment.

7. Can juniors wear adult tennis clothing?
Not recommended — junior clothing is proportioned for growing bodies, offering a better fit and comfort.

8. How do I care for tennis clothes?
Wash at low temperatures with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners, which can affect moisture-wicking performance.

9. What should I wear for winter tennis?
Layer up with thermal base layers, fleece-lined jackets, and warm-up trousers. Keep extremities covered before and after play.

10. Do tennis clothes offer UV protection?
Many modern fabrics do — especially clothing labelled with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). Great for outdoor players.
