32 Tennis Dresses to Help You Master the Country Club Aesthetic by Nicole Kliest and Julie Tong

Whether you’re serving looks on or off the court, the best tennis dresses of the season can go from country-club chic to street style favorites in one fell swoop, forehand, or backhand. It’s a sport with a rich history of blending form and function, with players of all stripes (Zendaya included!) opting for the best tennis clothes featuring crisp whites, preppy collars, and color-blocking stripes.

Retro athletic attire has been a welcome trend for a while now, whether you’ve ever stepped foot on a court or not, primarily courtesy of Tory Burch and Staud for their vintage-inspired designs. For heritage sports brands like Nike, Fila, and Wilson, the tennis dress is a staple, but emerging brands such as Recreational Habits and Sporty & Rich have taken the tennis dress in a trendier direction with more street style appeal. Outdoor Voices, Alo Yoga, and Lululemon’s technically-advanced styles appeal to players looking to improve their performances, while also providing a certain chicness that’s spot-on for days spent on at the tennis club or elsewhere. Pair any of these options with a sporty white sneaker or, perhaps, a famed tennis bracelet. Read on to discover 32 of the season’s best tennis dresses, below.

Collared

For an emphasis on classic preppy silhouettes, slip into a collared tennis dress. Post-game, throw a V-neck sweater over your shoulders for a country club-ready look. There’s no U.S. Open without Ralph Lauren, and it’s only fitting to make an appearance at the games in the brand’s signature polo dress, available in 14 different colors from white to mint green. For a dress that will put an extra pep in your step come summertime, consider Kule’s striped polo dress that is designed to be worn not only on the court, but out in the city, and even on vacation.

Match and Match With These Family-Fashion Ensembles by Chloe Malle

We’ve all seen the reluctant photos of the whole brood in matching Hanna Andersson Christmas pajamas and while I’m a big fan of that family ritual there are updates to be made to the so-called “Mommy and Me” trend which I’ve hereby rechristened as “Family-Fashion,” because it need not apply strictly to Mommy, and who is the Me anyway? The following picks can be worn by the whole clan: from floral swimming costumes for mom and toddler to organic cotton striped PJs for aunt and infant to garden tools for grandma and granddaughter.

Below you’ll find family friendly looks for everything from digging in the garden to a garden party, perfect for spring entertaining and beach excursions. And despite my not-just-for-moms disclaimer, there’s a reason this is just in time for Mother’s Day! I used to think the trend was creepy and a bit narcissistic: “It’s not enough to birth a mini-me, I need him to dress like me too!” But then my son was given a striped Kule onesie that matched my long sleeve tee from the brand and it was just too cute not to be twinning with tiny him so I’ve never looked back. Be warned, the same may happen to you!

If the stripe is right…

Nikki’s Weekend in St. Barths

Nikki hasn’t traveled to St. Barths in 23 years, and O BOY, has it changed! She recently traveled there to celebrate her birthday with a few close friends and family. Read on for highlights from the trip, including outfits, beach clubs, lunch recommendations, and lots of celebrating! 

The flight to the island is in a tiny prop plane with roughly ten seats. It’s not for the faint of heart! Even for the most experienced flyers, it’s rough.

The plane. It’s way smaller than you think 😵‍💫
The view from above

The beaches in St. Barths are beautiful and fun. The best plan is to spend the day at a Beach Club. Nikki’s favorites are La GuériteShellona, and Le Toiny

Nikki loved this porcelain plate and the stripes, of course

During the day, Nikki mostly wore button-down shirts, dresses, coverups, and caftans. They were easy and colorful.

As for the night, St. Barth’s nighttime scene is wild. Nikki’s favorite spot is Le Ti St. Barth. It’s a cabaret restaurant offering a dinner show at 9 P.M. and an after-dinner party at 11 P.M. You can go into their back room and grab a costume. Get ready to dance on the tables!

Honorable mentions that weren’t included: Nikki Beach — sadly, she didn’t go to her namesake, but she heard it was a party and that Sundays are the best days to go. Cheval Blanc St. Barth for dinner (a very pretty hotel), Le Café for drinks, and shopping at Clic St. Barth (a popular shop there).

The 27 Very Best T-Shirts for Women by Halie LeSavage

Including Bazaar editors’ go-to crewnecks and celebrity-beloved cropped tees

When I tally up the cost-per-wear of everything in my closet, there’s a clear winner: A perfect T-shirt is one of the most versatile wardrobe staples. Walk through any department store or shopping district and you’ll find dozens of iterations of this basic clothing staple. But the best T-shirts for women—the ones editors, celebrities, and style experts like Brigette Deshais, VP of women’s design at AYR, reach for time and again—are usually the simplest. “For an everyday T-shirt, I’m always going to go with the kind of T-shirt shape you’d draw as a five-year-old—basically a square, because they’re the most versatile,” she says. From there, Deshais looks for an easy sleeve opening and a snug, ribbed crewneck.

The Best T-Shirts for Women, Tested & Reviewed

Quality tees are an accessible luxury—they’re durable and comfortable, but can also be the simple piece that pulls a luxe outfit together. (There’s a reason many fashion designers wear a humble T-shirt to take their final bows.) And there is a lot of range: Every T-shirt in my wardrobe has a specific purpose. Clingier, cropped tees are the perfect complement to high-rise, wide-leg jeans; cashmere crewneck or V-neck shirts are for lounging with coordinating sweatpants. A white crewneck tee is an essential for days I want to look unfussy yet polished. Deshais adds that striped tees like AYR’s are no-brainers with a pair of jeans, and in slightly dressier outfit formulas: “Lately I’m more interested in wearing them back to full-leg slacks or slip skirts, and peeking out from under sweaters.”

There are some qualities the best T-shirts all share, whether you’re searching for a dressier boatneck shirt or a breathable tee for working out: high-quality fabrics, an expansive range of sizes, and a sense of comfort so satisfying you won’t want to take it off. No one T-shirt can do it all, but an edit of a select few will have you covered—and these shirts all feel like everyday luxuries. After reading hundreds of shopper reviews and testing dozens of tees myself, I’ve gathered the 27 best T-shirts for women, for every outfit, occasion, and state of mind.

She Wears the Pants

If you haven’t tried The City Pants yet, they’re the perfect everyday pants you’ll want to wear with everything. These garment-washed, super-soft cotton pants took years to get just right. Every element of these pants was carefully sourced and produced in Italy. While they’re wonderfully suited for 9-to-5 in the city, they’re actually wearable anywhere and for anything (including long flights!). In cotton with just the right amount of stretch, they’re as much of a second-skin as a pant could be. We asked six women to style them their own way and take them for a spin to prove just how wearable they are.
