Matchpoint

June 22nd, 2008

I’ve been playing tennis for about eight months now, but despite my weekly lessons, I am still far from Wimbeldon.   I knew it would be a great way to stay in shape, but most of all, I was tempted by the adorable outfits.  I pictured myself running errands in crisp little tennis skirts and sherbet-colored cardigans after early morning matches.  I soon learned that such stereotypical tennis gear should be reserved for advanced players only.  Lux’s Cable Tennis Dress, however,  is a fun alternative, with a vintage-inspired cable knit in all-American colors.  With the flattering drop waist and racerback, this dress will be a surefire Ace.
