Best Tennis Dresses of 2025

A classic court staple for many decades, tennis dresses have come a long way in a relatively short period of time. Advances in fabric technology have now made them so lightweight, comfortable and fashion-forward that we are seeing them worn off the court as much as on it.

Our Favorite Tennis Dresses for 2025

We have many different styles to choose from with a wide range of features. Below are a few of our favorites.

Tennis dresses stand out for their comfort. Mostly constructed of quick-drying, moisture wicking performance fabrics, these dresses are designed to keep you cool and dry during heated play, and this goes for any activity off court as well. Tennis Warehouse shows icons under the descriptions to give you a quick snapshot of features that include whether a dress is moisture wicking, has UPF sun protection, is constructed of sustainable materials, offers anti-odor protection, and even if it features an integrated bra or built-in shortie.

Although they are both designed for sport, tennis dresses differ from golf dresses in several different ways. Tennis dresses are usually shorter in length, have fuller skirts to accommodate movement on the court, and they don’t always have side pockets. They will often include integrated bras for a streamlined look — sometimes helping to show off unique styling on the back such as racerback cuts, strappy details, and even keyhole accents. Instead of pockets on the dress, a dress will include a built-in or separate matching compression short to tuck balls under on the court. These shorties as we call them, are increasingly coming with side pockets for extra storage options. If a tennis dress does not include a shortie, we recommend wearing a compression short underneath.

We think the Lucky in Love Next Level Dress checks all the boxes for Best All-Around Dress. This flirty style is available in two colors and looks great on almost everyone. There is an exposed contrast zipper on the back for an on-trend look and the racerback allows for swinging big on game day. The sheer mesh accents on the armholes and the mesh on the pleated double layer skirt add feminine flair wherever you go, making it a winner on and off the court. A matching shortie with side pockets is included to tuck away small essentials.

Nothing says tennis better than a unique performance court dress and Nike has upped the ante with its new Melbourne Dress. Its unique contrast cami overlay gives it an eye-catching look. Worn by the world's No. 1 player at the first major of 2025, this dress will bring winning style to your game day! Plus, it's super stretchy and breathable fabric makes it easy to move around the court.

We all love a good value, and this Fila Volley Dress has extra features at a great price point! It owes its clean lines and streamlined look in part to its built-in bra and adjustable shoulder straps. It also comes with a matching shortie for extra coverage as well as ball storage. This dress is such a great deal that you'll want one in every color!

Offered in a variety of colors, the Wilson Midtown Dress has everything you need already built-in. This versatile pleated dress features a classic, stretchy mid-weight twill texture fabric with a scoop neckline and racerback for full range of motion. The integrated bra ensures a smooth, sleek look with no extra straps showing. We love that this dress looks great on women of various heights because the waist and midriff can be adjusted and folded over more or less to accommodate how tall someone is. The built-in shortie has a pocket for your phone or any other small essential you may need quick access to.

Sometimes you just want to wear your own supportive bra on court. This LIJA Phenom Dress comes in several colors, and the flouncy jacquard-patterned mesh skirt and keyhole detail at the chest give it a fresh look for the court. It doesn’t have a built-in bra, but it offers enough coverage for you to wear your favorite sports bra without changing the look of the dress.

The Original Penguin Veronica Sleeveless Dress delivers classic style on and off the court — and it has pockets! The elongated placket, breathable mesh back panel, and performance fabric were designed for cool comfort during heated match play and you’ll surely appreciate this during any other activities your day brings. The side pockets on the dress and on the matching shortie are ready to hold small essentials and keep them handy.

The Lacoste Players Dress is sure to impress on and off the court. Engineered perforations add elevated style as well as ventilation, making this dress as stunning as it is functional. It comes with a coordinating shortie for coverage and ball storage.

Constructed of a 100 percent recycled polyester waffle-texture fabric, this adidas Heritage Dress was designed for performance on the court while helping to save the planet. Its classic look will never go out of style and it comes with a coordinating shortie.

With its classic style and comfortable, quality construction, the Travis Mathew Moveknit Sleeveless Zip Dress will make you feel like a million dollars and wins our approval for Best Luxury Dress. The front zipper makes it easy to get on and take off and the collar and flouncy skirt give it a polished look that can go anywhere. The integrated short offers light compression and side pockets to tuck away your small essentials.
