Folks, I’m not really a tennis girlie, but like the rest of the country, come January, I get into it. And no, not just because of the influx of hot, foreign athletes on dating apps. (But also, lads, I’d be a hot tennis GF). The other part I love is that local fashion goes into overdrive and ’70s-style tennis ‘fits are back in style. Cue: Global athleisure brand THE UPSIDE is releasing a limited edition Tennis Club collection in celebration of the Aus Open.

The ‘Tennis Club’ capsule takes a swing at the ‘tenniscore’ fashion trend serving up a range of skirts, dresses, crop tops, sweaters, shorts and tennis shoes (Volleys) in a classic trio of red, white and navy fabrics. The entire capsule reminisces on the golden era with nostalgic nuances and ’70s silhouettes, like V-necks, collars, pleats and crochet.

While the Tennis Club range is undeniably fashionable, a lot of the collection is also functional. It features moisture-wicking performance pieces in cotton pique and 4-way stretch peached fabrics, so you can wear them on and off the court.

Prices range from $49.95 for socks and visors (YES, visors) to $299.99 for the crochet dress. They’ve also reimagined the classic Volley in both low and high-cut versions, which retail for $79.95 and $89.95, respectively.

Let’s take a peek at the range, shall we?
