Does The Tennis Core Trend Serve You? THE Best Tennis Core Styles For Your Figure Type

Are you thinking of trying out tennis core? Not sure what tennis core is? Without sounding redundant, it’s preppy, sporty clothing with a 1970’s era tennis styling at it’s core.  (By the way, I’m not sure who decided to put the word core behind every new trend lately but we’re going with it.)  It may include white stripes or trim next to saturated, yet slightly muted colors like tomato red, hunter green, navy and white. The style gives a definite Steve Prefontaine vibe. I’ve seen it looking lovely on some and not so lovely on others.  So I’m here to offer some guidance on how to make it work well for you!

If tennis, golf, pickleball or cute short skirts are your thing see below. If not, skip down to see how to incorporate tennis core style into everyday looks.

1.  Look for the line placement - Make sure horizontal lines don’t cross at your widest place.

Best for narrow waist and fuller hips. (Ideal, hourglass, and triangular figure types.)

Best for narrow hips and fuller bust. (Ideal, inverted triangle, and diamond figure types.)

Best for very few due to the awkward waist placement. (Ideal, tubular or super slim figure types.)

2.  Get the right amount of support - we gotta lift the girls

Best overall pick for all figure variations.

Better for fuller bust, waist and hips.

Better for smaller bust (built in bra has less support), with fuller waist and hips.

How to get the tennis core look for everyday style

Look for classic pieces, those that fit and flatter most figure types. Polos and V-neck sweaters with a striped detail give country club vibes in a classy tennis core way. Add drapey-fabric pleated pants and you will have aced the look. Here are a few suggestions:

Two-toned polo.

Drapey pleated trousers in buttery Athleta fabric.

V neck two-toned cardigan.

Not every new trend is for every person.  Are you wondering how to pick and choose which new trend to adopt? Which one works best for your personal style?
