I love to watch tennis, especially Wimbledon. I love the history and the old school elegance of the All England Club. But I’m a terrible player so my friend Eleanor Banco Lasko, who is an amazing tennis player and competitor, has graciously helped me put this post together. We’ve been working on it since the French Open, another great tournament, but I think it was well worth the wait. Eleanor has introduced me to some wonderful small brands like Hedge and Classic Prep out of Rowayton, Connecticut, and her favorite tennis dress and sneakers. I scoured the internet for the chicest tennis offerings. The Ralph Lauren Wimbledon collection is almost sold out so I wouldn’t snooze if you see something you like. The same with the New Balance x Staud Tennis collaboration. But there are still some great tennis offerings from Tory Burch Sport, Brooks Brothers x Fila, and Tuckernuck, Kule. If you don’t play tennis either, I think you will still enjoy love this post.

Tory Burch Warm Up Jacket and Performance V-neck Tennis Dress

Tennis Bag – also available in blue and navy

Eleanor’s favorite brand of tennis racquet is Babalot.

A lot of the Ralph Lauren Wimbledon collection is sold out but there are still a few great pieces left like this Wimbledon Bomber Jacket.

I’ve decided that I really want to attend Wimbledon next year and this book, Wimbledon: The Official History, sounds like a great way to learn everything about the tournament.

If you have a tennis pavilion, you need this Tennis Throw Pillow but I feel like buying it just for fun. It’s also available in navy and orange.

How chic is this Marysia Sport scalloped recycled-fibre tennis dress?

Rolex is the official timekeeper of Wimbledon so how about this chic green Rolex Oyster Perpetual Men’s Watch?

This Racket Boat Tote can be monogrammed for yourself or to give as a chic gift.

Love this Women’s Darby Tennis Sweater and it’s also on sale. It’s also available for kids.

This Tennis Partners Patch Keychain is so cute but I’d probably take some pliers and pull off the brand logo.

I’ve posted this book, String Theory: David Foster Wallace on Tennis, for Father’s Day and it’s a great book for tennis lovers and non-lovers alike.

Create your own cool Tennis Club with this Kule tee shirt.

These Embroidered Tennis LOVE Cocktail Napkins would make a great hostess gift.

I love the scallops on this Marysia Sport scalloped recycled seersucker tennis dress.

Add some fun to your outfit on the courts or off with these green tennis socks. They are also available in white.

If you are very into tennis, you need these Tennis Racquets Notecards or buy them for a friend as a cute gift.

Pair this chic tennis dress with green and white Tretorns and green and white pom pom tennis socks.

The Stylish Life: Tennis would make a great gift for yourself or a friend.

I don’t play tennis but I want to carry this Racquet Boat Tote.

These Tennis Tumblers would be another cute hostess gift.

Performance Piqué Pleated Collar Sleeveless Polo

Striped pleated recycled piqué mini skirt

This Tennis Notebook is available in softback and hardback. It would make a great gift for someone who just started tennis as well as a seasoned pro.

Wear this Oversized Love Sweatshirt with jeans off the court or with your tennis dress before a match.

Show your love of tennis by wearing these chino shorts with tennis racket embroidery.

I love the pockets for tennis balls and a water bottle on this Game Set Match Court Bag.

Pre-order Pioneers of the Game: The Evolution of Men’s Professional Tennis for yourself or your favorite player.

This Men’s Supima Cotton Tennis Sweater is currently on sale so get it before it’s gone.

The Wimbledon Ball Boy Cap is for anyone.

Live out your Bjorn Borg fantasies in this Brooks Brothers x FILA Seersucker Championship Blazer.

upgrade your game with this Navy Monogrammed Tennis Tote.

Create your own tennis tournament and serve drinks with these Embroidered Tennis Racquet Cocktail Table Linens Napkins.

I’d pair this short-sleeve cashmere t-shirt with tennis embroidery with white linen wide legged pants or a white suit.

These Tennis Racket Baseball Caps are available in 24 colors with 30 different embroidery color options. If you have a tennis court and invite people over all time, I would order these to give out to your friends.

Eleanor said this Ellesse Women’s Pinar Tennis Dress is one of her favorites.

Eleanor said that the Ron Laver Sneakers are her favorites to wear off the court. They come in two different styles and colors. Check the size chart for the conversion to women’s sizes.

This cute Personalized Tennis Towel is available in six different towel colors with 45 different thread color options.

After watching The French documentary on Metrograph, I wanted to learn more about the players at that time. Björn Borg and the Super-Swedes: Stefan Edberg, Mats Wilander, and the Golden Era of Tennis is the perfect way to do that.

If you love tennis, I highly recommend a trip to The International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island. You really get your money’s worth. The museum has extensive exhibitions on the history of tennis from the beginning though the players of today. Plus you can tour the historic building and grounds of grass tennis courts. It’s one of my favorite places to visit in Newport.

Final note, the Duchess of Cambridge took over as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club from The Queen and will be in attendance at the Women’s and Men’s Finals of Wimbledon on Saturday and Sunday which should make for some fun viewing.

Bon Week-end!

XOXO,
