Matchpoint

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.

I used to play tennis and we were made to wear these horrible makes-size0-look-fat shorts and a super baggy polo. That tennis dress just makes me wish that we could have worn something like that! sigh.

I recently started playing tennis, too! It’s been a really fun way to exercise, but I definitely need to update the court wardrobe!

I love the dress…and tennis for that matter but I am more of a spectator than a player! I am shockingly bad!

I’ve always considered tennis THE really aristocratic sport. You are totally lucky you are getting lessons – such a dream come true.

And you are right about the outfits – so sexy and casual chic. Love the one you picked.

tennis has the best clothes in sports, and that dress proves it!

I adore cable knits! The colour scheme is wonderful too.

I’ve been playing tennis since junior high, so naturally the outfits are appealing to me… I love me a tennis dress…
