Melon cocktails, celebrity courtside looks, and sporty fashion can only mean one thing: Tennis is so back in New York. I haven't yet aced tennis-core style (see what I did there), but lucky for me, my fellow editors Anneliese Henderson and Eliza Huber have. To attend a professional tennis tournament, the duo opted for looks from OFFLINE by Aerie, an activewear brand with pieces that can take you from sitting courtside to dinner and drinks—they're that good. "When I'm attending a sporting match, I need to be comfortable (something to stand and cheer in!) but also look chic, so I was so excited when I saw the pieces OFFLINE by Aerie had in the collection," shares Anneliese.
OFFLINE by Aerie's latest launch is, of course, tennis-inspired, featuring preppy pleated skirts, capris, and tops in neutral shades with pops of navy and green, striking the perfect balance of polished and sporty. Plus, they fit seamlessly into any capsule wardrobe, as you can mix and match these versatile styles with other items in your closet. Eliza agrees, adding, "There's a runway look from a few seasons ago that's lived rent-free on my mood board ever since—a technical funnel-neck jacket with capris. When I saw OFFLINE offered both, I knew exactly what I wanted to wear to the tournament. It's sporty and elegant, all at once. Plus, the halter I wore underneath is so good, I need it in every color." In short, this collection is a total serve. Ahead, you can shop our editor-vetted picks from OFFLINE by Aerie.
Tops and Dresses
As fall approaches, it's essential to have pieces that can be layered or styled on their own depending on the weather. You could wear the halter top with a blazer and jeans to the office, and change into a flowy tennis skirt and a sweater for a workout later that day.
Sports Bras
These sports bras are practical, functional, and perfect for someone who's always on the go. Some of the silhouettes even resemble cute crop tops you could wear on a night out.
Bottoms
Whether you're all in on the capri and bubble-skirt trends or just looking for a pair of staple trousers, there's something for everyone's taste with OFFLINE by Aerie. I'd wear the capris to a dinner party with a cute pair of kitten heels and a tank top.
Accessories
To round out all of your chic tennis-core 'fits, you'll need some accessories. While watching matches, throw on a baseball cap to protect you from the sun, or opt for a cute pair of socks to go with your tennis skirt.
