26 Best Tennis Bags to Ace Your Style Game by Laura Lajiness and Gaby Keiderling

The best tennis bags aren’t exclusive to those on the grand slam circuit. For many players, half the fun of tennis is the exquisite fashion that comes with the sport, from stylish tennis dresses to bags for toting extras like balls, a towel, a water bottle, and beyond. Sure, you could certainly get away with a sports duffle or roomy gym bag when bringing these essentials to the court. But why not lean into the country club aesthetic in full force by shopping the best tennis brands for a comprehensively thought-out look, proper tennis bag, and all?

If you’re an elite player, you’re probably all for shoulder styles that can hold several rackets at once, plus all your other gear, from court-approved sneakers to accessories like a visor and sweatbands. However, you can go the racket cover route on the simpler end of the spectrum. Or, for a bit more carrying space to accommodate a change of clothes, a top-handle bag or backpack with a designated racket pouch or strap will feel perfectly sporty and chic. Like with a yoga mat bag, it’s all about function and figuring out what works best with your aesthetic and lifestyle.

Keep scrolling to discover 26 tennis bags as practical as they are stylish, from sleek black to sporty striped accents and beautifully modern and light iterations crafted of leather and raffia. Plus, customizable styles—who doesn’t love a good monogram?

The 13 Very Best Cashmere Sweaters

From wardrobe staples to bright color-blocked sweaters.

A cashmere sweater is a versatile, durable, seasonless investment that can last decades—as long as you keep the moths away. But choosing the right one can feel overwhelming because of their premium pricing. (The best cashmere sweaters come at a heftier price because the yarn comes from the fluffy undercoat of cashmere goats.) I’m here to help. Months of research, wearing and washing cashmere for this story has made me quite handy at scoping out the best sweaters.

Good news: Plenty of brands are now offering more affordable options. So to make sure we’re balancing quality and price, I tried out sweaters from some of the top budget brands as well as some luxury options to see how they hold up. I mainly tested each sweater’s feel, weight, and durability. (Note: I’ve had the sweaters for as long as a year and a half and as short as a couple of months. I’ll continue to update on that last point as time goes on.) I also reached out to stylish folks to see which ones they thought are worth the cost or skimp on quality. Read on to see our picks from every price point.

Kule The Betty Sweater

$298

Sizing: XS to XL | Style details: Crewneck with stripes | Price: $$$

After a few of her sweaters “were decimated by moths,” Strategist senior editor Hilary Reid bought this Kule cashmere sweater on sale. She says it’s the “softest, most substantial-feeling cashmere sweater” she owns. It has an “ideal and elusive crewneck fit: It’s cut comfortably close enough to wear on its own, but can still accommodate a shirt underneath without looking bulky.” It comes in a wide range of classic patterns of black, white, brown, and navy stripes, as well as less-traditional patterns that feature fun multicolored stripes.

To the Sea Shore—and Beyond! 40+ Beach Bags and Totes for Summer by Laura Jackson

With the arrival of summer comes the need to replenish your warm-weather lineup, starting with the best beach bags to toss all your necessities into—from swimsuits and cover-ups to waterproof sandals, sun hats, and of course, a trusty bottle of SPF. The best beach bags nowadays are as functional as they are chic—and in this case, bigger is better.

It’s safe to say that larger-than-life beach bags are lingering in the trend cycle for a while, as Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, and Loewe all featured a medley of options on the spring 2024 runways. Luxury designers in particular, from The Row to Saint Laurent, seem to have a penchant for the raffia tote, putting their own spin (and often, logo) on the classic basket bag.

Even contemporary brands can be found taking a dip into this playful pool—Dragon Diffusion’s rendition bridges the gap between city streets and sea shore, Mango’s version features a slouchy silhouette in an allover black mesh, and Staud’s green-and-white striped tote embodies that festive summer feeling. Each is distinct, yet they all agree on one thing: ample space is essential to fit your sunscreen, water bottle, steamy beach read, and a heap of snacks without a worry.

Wherever you’re headed, these canvas, raffia, and cotton-terry jacquard carryall beach bags are the ideal companion. Below, shop our edit of the best beach bags, totes, and weekenders for the season.

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…

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.
