How does a truly chic tennis player dress? Laila Coslovich's Tennis Chic philosophy
Is there really an elegant way to dress for tennis?
Over the years, I have often observed women who frequent tennis clubs. Each has her own style, her own personality, and her own way of experiencing this sport. Yet, every time I stepped onto the court, I felt something was missing. It wasn't enough to wear technical attire; being comfortable wasn't enough. I also wanted to feel original and elegant. I wanted my clothing to tell something about me, to express that refined femininity I've always loved and that is part of my personal history. It was precisely from this quest that my idea of Tennis Chic was born: not a trend, not a fleeting fashion, but a true philosophy of style.
Tennis Chic is a way of being, even more than a way of dressing
When I talk about Tennis Chic, I'm not simply referring to an outfit or a particular way of combining colors. I'm talking about an attitude, a way of presenting oneself to the world, that quiet confidence that comes when we feel perfectly at ease with ourselves.
For me, a chic tennis player is a woman who loves tennis but doesn't give up her identity. She is a woman who pays attention to details, who carefully chooses what she wears and who understands that elegance is never about excess, but about balance. She doesn't seek attention at all costs: her presence is naturally noticed because she communicates harmony, confidence, and personality.
A legacy of elegance that belongs to the history of tennis
Since its origins, tennis has been one of the most elegant sports in the world. One only needs to look at photographs of great champions of the past to realize how much elegance has always been part of this sport's identity. Of course, times change, and with them, fashion and aesthetic codes also change. Today, women have much more freedom to express their personality through clothing than a few decades ago, and rightly so. However, I believe there are values that deserve to be preserved: good taste, harmony, refinement. That form of elegance that never goes out of style.
Sexy, yes, but with balance
One of the aspects I notice most in contemporary women's tennis is the growing desire to enhance one's femininity through sportswear. Personally, I consider this a positive aspect. After all, it was precisely the search for a more elegant and feminine way to experience tennis that prompted me, years ago, to create my first tennis dress and subsequently to found the Laila Coslovich brand.
I believe every woman has the right to feel beautiful, self-confident, and even sensual while playing the sport she loves. My idea of Tennis Chic, however, stems from a very simple conviction: the most fascinating sensuality is that which doesn't need to exaggerate. A woman can enhance her silhouette, choose lines that make her feel feminine, and wear garments that highlight her personality without giving up that elegance that has always represented one of tennis's most beautiful values. For me, charm comes from balance, from the ability to feel beautiful without needing to flaunt it, from the confidence of someone who doesn't need to prove anything. This philosophy inspires every Laila Coslovich collection.
The essential elements in a chic tennis player's wardrobe
Being a chic tennis player doesn't mean following rigid rules, but learning to build a style consistent with your personality. For this reason, I always recommend starting with some fundamental elements: a well-designed outfit, made with quality materials and capable of enhancing the figure without restricting movement; harmonious colors that interact naturally; essential but refined accessories; a tidy hairstyle and particular attention to skin care, especially during the summer season. These are seemingly simple details, but often they are precisely what makes the difference.
Style continues off the court
One of the aspects I love most about Tennis Chic is that it doesn't end when the match is over: it accompanies the woman throughout the day, from the moment she arrives at the club until she leaves. Personally, I love the idea of wearing a perfectly tailored blazer over a tennis dress, paired with clean and well-maintained sneakers. It's a simple, sophisticated look that is perfectly consistent with a dynamic yet elegant lifestyle. Because Tennis Chic isn't just about the game: it's about how we choose to present ourselves to the world.
The true meaning of Tennis Chic
If I had to summarize my philosophy in one sentence, I would say that Tennis Chic is the encounter between femininity, elegance, and authenticity. It's not about following a fashion; it's not about appearances: it's about feeling good about oneself, stepping onto the court carrying not only a racket but also one's own personality. Because elegance is not something you wear. It is something you communicate.
