Summer has finally arrived which means it's time to put away the heavy coats and chunky sweatshirts for the season and start pairing your favourite sneakers with your cutest summer looks. Last year we saw the surge of hype for pleated tennis skirts and it seems the trend is here to stay for 2022. From Nike to adidas to Adanola, you can cop a cute retro-inspired tennis skirt from pretty much any sportswear brand, meaning they're pretty easy to get your hands on right now.

Whilst pleated details were all the rage last season, the tennis skirt has evolved a little for 2022, with sporty skort-style options taking the fashion world by storm. Although less traditional, this means that those who weren’t originally fans can get involved in the trend, making tennis skirts one of the top-trending clothing items amongst sneaker and streetwear fans this year, and a serious athleisure must-have. Whether you're planning to wear it on the court or are just looking for an easy, wardrobe staple you can get styling with your favourite white sneakers, we've rounded up the best tennis skirt outfits we're loving this season to bring you some styling inspo and outfit ideas straight from the gram.

We're all about bringing you the latest fashion trends here at The Sole Supplier, but revisiting older ones are also a vibe when they're perfect for the current season. We've scoured the internet and found the best tennis skirt outfits for 2022 that you can style today with your favourite sneakers, on or off the court. Check out the best, pleated skirt outfits below and be sure to @/# thesolewomens on Instagram for a chance to be featured on our page.

Although typically sporty, the tennis skirt makes for a great casual option too. For 2022, the tennis skirt is all about a more casual, streamlined and sporty aesthetic, so if a traditional pleated option isn't your style, try mixing it up with this instead!

First up is the classic and comfy skirt/skort and crop top combo. A super simple and easy-to-wear look that requires minimal effort and promises maximum comfort. The a-line design of the tennis skirt ensures a flattering look, with many brands offering a skort design with a shorts insert for added comfort, like this pair from Adanola. Pair with your cleanest court-ready kicks for a perfect athleisure outfit.

If a crop top isn't for you, then a t-shirt and skirt is the perfect summer outfit combination. Mix and match a plain tee or opt for a graphic printed t-shirt like this Supreme tee that you can cop from StockX today to pair with a layered-look tennis skirt. Complete the outfit with a pair of old-school-style sneakers like the Nike Dunk Low or adidas Forum Low that we've been loving this season.

For cooler evenings or less sunny days, layer up the look with a sweatshirt or hoodie. Whether you're all about adding a pop of colour to your fits with a pastel hoodie or you like to keep it simple with a minimal colourway, a sweatshirt or hoodie is the perfect layering accessory. Pair an oversized hoodie or sweatshirt with cute shoes to get a really on-trend and stylish outfit you can wear almost anywhere!

If you want to stay true to the heritage of a tennis skirt you can take it a step further and wear it with other tennis clothes, or you can wear it with pretty much any other sportswear you have in your wardrobe. If you go for a classic white tennis skirt then your options for styling are endless!

A sports bra is the perfect styling addition to pair with a skirt like this Nike Club Skirt Short Tennis Skirt. Branded or unbranded, opt for a sleeveless top or a cropped t-shirt for the perfect pairing, complete with a pair of New Balance or adidas court-ready kicks. The stretchy fabric of each skirt means they don't just look cute but are comfy to wear as an everyday essential. Opt for an oversized blazer or long sleeve sweatshirt to layer over the top for the cooler summer evenings.

Keeping true to the tennis style, you can opt for a matching polo shirt or other top to complete the ultimate summer tennis outfit. This adidas Originals 'Tennis Luxe' coord is incredible and has subtle pops of green which give it such a great summer feel. Complete the look with a classic pair of Stan Smiths or another plain white shoe and you have an outfit which would look great on and off the court.

Bodysuits are the ultimate wardrobe essential. They're that one item that you can mix and match with almost any bottom and use throughout the year, during any season. We're loving this bodysuit and tennis skirt fit, finished with a pair of fresh white Swoosh-logo socks and classic triple white Air Force 1s. Switch up your bodysuits from a thin strap design to a t-shirt-style bodysuit that's great for the cooler days. Add some chunky jewellery and a cute cap to round off the look.

Tennis skirts come in loads of varieties, so if you're looking to trade a sportier style for something a little flowier, that's definitely doable too. The NikeCourt Advantage Pleated Tennis Skirt has layers of pleats that give the skirt more movement, adding a little flair as you move. Team with a cute one-shouldered top and some pastel Jordan 1s or platform Converse for a super-cute vibe.

Of course, a tennis skirt is also a perfect option when putting together a preppy, Y2K style outfit. Depending on how you style it and how you accessorise, a tennis skirt can transform from sportswear to a part of a high-end look. Check out some of our favourite examples below!

Sweater vests have been EVERYWHERE this season - again, thanks to TikTok! Why not put these two trending pieces together and get a super cute outfit which will see you through the whole summer. Whether you go for just a sweater vest or you layer it with a t-shirt, there are so many styling options which look amazing. Make sure to add in some jewellery to complete the look.

It's all in the details! The best thing you can do to elevate your tennis skirt outfits - or any outfit - is to add some jewellery. Whether you go for a gold necklace to compliment an all-white summer look or whether you go for a bag which works perfectly with your outfit, the details make a difference. We love changing up looks by changing our jewellery and its a great way to create a preppy tennis skirt outfit.

From Jordan 1s to a pair of classic Converse, we're all about keeping comfy in the heat. The iconic Jordan 1 is the perfect sneaker to style with a tennis skirt, or the court-classic Converse Chuck Taylor Platform also adds that extra edge to any look in the simple and staple Black or White colourways. The added platform midsole will elevate any fit and be your new go-to pair during the warmer months.

If you want to keep it classic you can also wear a pair of tennis shoes. This always looks great and gives a really light feel to the outfit. A great option is the adidas Stan Smith, it comes in lots of different colourways and stays true to the traditional tennis style. Alternatively, although it's technically a basketball shoe, the silhouette of the New Balance 550 would also work just as well. Opting for tennis shoes is a great way to balance athleisure and street style in your outfits.

When it comes to choosing the perfect size, be sure to check out the size guides, located on each retailers 'about' section usually listed beneath the product image to make sure you pick the perfect size and don't have to worry about any pesky return processes. If you're looking to add a Nike tennis skirt to your collection then we suggest going true to size to ensure the waist band and fitted insert fits comfortably. The lightweight, stretchy fabric means there is wiggle room when it comes to the fit and sizing of a pleated tennis skirt. If the a-line Adanola skirt is more your vibe, we have an Adanola size guide that'll help you get the perfect fit.

If you've been struggling with how to style a tennis skirt then we hope that these outfits have provided you with loads of inspiration, as it's actually surprisingly easy to work a tennis skirt into any outfit!
