Whether you’re an athlete or not, the tennis skirt is an absolute staple for summer and perfect for going back to school in August. An updated ode to the school uniform days, a pleated tennis skirt is a perfect basic to be mixed and matched from summer through fall.

Here are two ways to wear a pleated tennis skirt for the warm-weather months.

Bold & classic

Pair a brightly colored, mini tennis skirt with a white cropped polo for a classic preppy look. Make it your own with a vintage handbag or sunglasses. For an unexpected yet delightful twist, try wearing white socks with a t-strap heel. This is a perfect look for dinner with family and friends or a Sunday brunch with the girls!

Sporty & light

Want an updated athleisure look? Pick a more muted tone of skirt — light yellow, beige, tan, or brown but don’t settle for boring, of course. Pair with a patterned top to keep the look visually interesting.

Finish the outfit with white sneakers for an effortlessly cool look. This outfit can be great for a day spent outside golfing or on a picnic with friends. Tennis skirts — Summer to fall Modify these outfits for fall by throwing on an oversized sweatshirt. Add a colorful backpack, comfy shoes, and a matching mask for the essential college vibe.
