The tenniscore trend continues to captivate influencers. Flared skirts, headbands, and polo shirts are the key items to add to your wardrobe to stay stylish during the summer season of 2024.

In collections from Miu Miu, Carolina Herrera, and Celine, designers have officially declared the polo shirt as one of the must-haves. Current styles range from fitted to slightly loose cuts. Special attention should be paid to polo shirts made from soft knit fabrics.

When it comes to color, solid options in sky blue, burgundy, creamy yellow, soft pink, or models with horizontal stripes in contrasting shades are preferred.

Straight-cut polo shirts with sleeves and buttoned collars first appeared in the 20th century, when they were popularized by French tennis player René Lacoste, who, incidentally, founded the Lacoste brand. René revolutionized the fashion world.

Then, as now, polo shirts are tucked into pants and skirts. They can be styled with both casual and business outfits. A polo shirt fits seamlessly into any combination: with Bermuda shorts, pencil skirts, balloon skirts, low-rise pants, or wide-leg jeans. To create the perfect tenniscore look, pair a pleated skirt with a polo shirt and comfortable retro-style sneakers.
