These Tennis Skirts Deserve a Spot in Your Summer Travel Wardrobe

Looking for the best tennis skirts to wear on and off the court? You can’t go wrong with this sport-inspired look. Tennis skirts are chic, comfy, and—thanks to their built-in shorts and pockets—extremely practical. They’re also incredibly easy to pack when headed on vacation: They fold up into the tiniest square, and their quick-drying, high-performance material somehow always emerges unwrinkled. Like bike shorts and leggings, this piece of athleisure transitions to everyday wear with ease, too. 

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

Spanx The Get Moving Skort
