Hottest Tennis Fashion Trends for 2025

Tennis gear now is so much more than its former functional self. For STO 2025, upgrade your wardrobe with pieces as functional as they are fashion-forward. Think sleek, colour-blocked dresses or retro-inspired pleated skirts that bring a touch of old-school glam to the courts. Pair these with bold sneakers straight off the sports runway for ultimate style and comfort. 

Accessories are where you can truly shine! Wraparound sunglasses, sleek visors, and chic tennis bags elevate your ensemble while keeping things practical. Statement bags with bold branding or minimalist lines are perfect for carrying your essentials in style. Spectator or participant, these trends ensure you will make an impression while enjoying the thrill of the matches.

Best Tennis Gear to Buy in Singapore 

Tennis Shoes - Comfort, Stability and Game-Changing Technology

First footwear. Your footwear is a cornerstone of your performance, offering the perfect balance of agility, comfort, and stability. Tennis shoes are specially designed to support quick lateral movements and absorb impact during intense matches. Look for shoes with reinforced toe caps, lightweight midsoles, and excellent grip to ensure optimal performance on the court.

Enter the ASICS GEL-RESOLUTION™ X tennis shoe, a game-changer in both comfort and stability. Ambassadors including Novak Djokovic, Alex de Minaur, Lorenzo Musetti and Jasmine Paolini recently launched the shoe at the Asics Tennis Summit in Melbourne. 

Now available in Singapore, this model elevates the iconic ASICS range with cutting-edge features. At its heart lies the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam, strategically placed under the heel to deliver unparalleled cushioning while incorporating 24% bio-based content—a nod to sustainability. The DYNAWALL™ technology extends from the outside of the foot to wrap around the heel, providing enhanced lateral stability without compromising comfort. Additionally, the new DYNALACING™ system allows for a customised fit, letting players easily adjust the hold around their foot for added flexibility or support.

A seasoned player or casual enthusiast, this innovative design exemplifies the Japanese philosophy of kaizen, or continuous improvement, and will make a worthy addition to your tennis wardrobe.

Available at ASICS stores and online. 

Apparel - Fashion Statements to Make at STO

Stay cool and stylish in Singapore’s tropical climate with breathable, moisture-wicking apparel. Top sports brands like Lululemon, ASICS, Adidas, and Nike offer tennis-specific clothing that blends functionality with flair. Opt for tank tops, skirts, or shorts crafted from lightweight fabrics, and add a jacket or hoodie if the weather continues to be this grey! 

Our favourite? Lululemon's technical tennis and pickleball clothing has been designed with performance in mind. Crafted from sweat-wicking, four-way stretch fabrics, their range ensures you stay cool and comfortable while playing. 

For a fashion statement worth flaunting consider their High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt. Made from lightweight, quick-drying fabric to keep you comfortable from the first serve to match point. The built-in liner offers extra coverage, while the side drop-in pockets on the short liner provide a convenient spot to stash your essentials. It's a must-have for those looking for style and function on or off the court!

For men, you definitely want a pair or three of Nike’s tennis shorts.  Designed to offer comfort, durability, and versatility, they perform effortlessly match after match. Some styles feature perforations for added breathability and sweat-wicking technology to keep you cool under pressure. Many also come with pockets or built-in inner shorts, providing convenient storage for extra tennis balls—making any choice a winning one.

Tennis Bags - Aim for Space with Standout Design

Turn heads both on and off the court with the Babolat Pure Aero Backpack. Its sleek design effortlessly combines practicality and sophistication, with space to carry racquets, balls, and personal items while keeping a polished aesthetic.

Made to last, the bag boasts a hard-wearing, waterproof outer and features Babolat’s eco-friendly "colour-free lining," crafted from 100% recycled and dye-free fabric. Your racquets are kept safe in an insulated compartment designed to shield them from temperature changes, while two additional compartments offer space for your laptop, drinks, shoes, or tubes of balls.

The best part? You can store up to three racquets in one section while keeping the rest of your gear organised in the others. Not carrying a racquet? The racquet compartment folds neatly when not in use, held securely in place by a magnetic fastening.

For those looking to make a statement with a larger tennis bag, indulge in the Tumi Alpha 

Tennis Bag. Its expandable design lets you pack enough for the court, along with a water-resistant pouch for your trusty water bottle. We also love the backpack straps and removable shoulder straps that give options to carry as you like!

Rackets - Precise Control Meets Emerald Sleek

The racket is the ultimate extension of a player’s skill, so choosing the right one is paramount. For STO 2025, elevate your game with a frontrunner: the Wilson Blade 98. 

The Wilson Blade 98 is known for its precision, offering exceptional control that lets you place shots with pinpoint accuracy. The Blade 98 (16x19) V9 offers a refined, stable response that delivers an exceptional connection with the ball. Sporting a sleek Emerald Night matte finish, this racket features a braided graphite and basalt frame paired with a DirectConnect carbon fibre handle, providing enhanced torsional stability for precise control. Designed for players who rely on finesse and timing, this racket’s feel and responsiveness make it a favourite on tour.

Accessories and the Little Details

The little details can make a big difference. Stock up on overgrips for better racket control and vibration dampeners to reduce strain during intense rallies. Keep fashion stakes high with your choice of visors and hats, even if you are just a casual spectator. We recommend the Saint Laurent Embellished silk jacquard-trimmed faux straw visor. This accessory is a must for sunny days spent at a boat party, regatta, or tennis match. Designed to shield your face without messing up your hair or obstructing anyone's view, it’s a must for sunny days spent at a boat party or tennis match. Made in Italy, the visor features a monogrammed silk-jacquard scarf woven through and is finished with a sleek SAINT LAURENT plaque and ring. Pair it with oversized sunglasses for that effortlessly polished look.

For something more sporty, take a look at Under Armour’s  Men’s UA Launch Visor. Made in light, stretchy and breathable fabric with a cool to touch sweatband, it is perfect for tennis, outdoor adventures as well running! 

Psst, don’t forget a high-quality water bottle to stay hydrated and a stylish towel for courtside moments.

With these categories covered, you will be fully equipped to enjoy the Singapore Tennis Open 2025, both on and off the court, in style and comfort.
