Tennis Pants: Perfect Fit For Every Match

The usual tennis outfit consists of a skirt or a pair of tennis pants with a shirt – all short, of course. But every tennis player knows how vital the tennis gear you wear on top is when thinking of the rather chilly times on the court during spring and autumn. It may be dry, even sunny, but the temperatures certainly can get relatively low. Or if you think of the indoor season, how frosty these tennis centres can become. Therefore, every tennis outfit needs to include a long pair of tennis pants for your way to the court, the warming-up or the whole training session.

The current tennis pants are cut like traditional sweatpants or tracksuit bottoms, ideally with two side pockets for tennis balls. Alternatively, many tennis players prefer the combination of skintight leggings underneath a long pair of sports trousers. Hence, you will find a large selection of tennis leggings in our online shop that you can also use for any other sporting activity. If you like your tennis outfit to look a little more exotic, you will find plenty of capri pants in our shop, as well as jumpsuits. These practical combinations of shirt and tight shorts are perfect for underneath on a chilly day or in winter.

What Choice Of Materials Is There?

As with our featured brands' many other tennis collections, the fundamental difference in materials is that between cotton textiles and functional fabrics. The latter consist of nylon as the base fabric, which makes these textiles very light, breathable, and quick to dry. Tennis pants made of functional or synthetic fibre keep their shape even after many washes; they dry quickly and are very light. Nevertheless, many tennis players still prefer cotton, especially for those garments coming into direct contact with their skin.

Cotton is very comfortable to wear but absorbs sweat instead of transporting it to the outside. This aspect is negligible for tennis pants since most players only wear them for warming up before the match, so they will hardly ever be soaked with sweat.

Which Cut For Your Tennis Pants?

Generally, the traditional long tennis pants with side pockets for tennis balls are cut like regular sports trousers. Not skintight, with cuffs around the leg-bottoms and an adjustable waistband. You will also find a wide range of leggings in our online shop. These skintight tennis pants usually come without pockets. They provide a slender, athletic look but not the same protection against cold as other long tennis pants.

In return, leggings are made of breathable fabric, and the very tight models have a bit of a compression effect. Compression improves blood circulation and helps with the regeneration after training or a match. Many tennis players like to combine long leggings with shorts or a skirt, which on top offers an elegant solution to the tennis ball “problem”.
