Whether or not you’ve seen Zendaya’s new movie, Challengers, the press tour outfits likely haven’t escaped your feeds. In fact, you probably can’t stop seeing photo after photo of all of the actress’s saucy, tennis-inspired outfits.

Between Zendaya’s blockbuster and the soaring popularity of pickleball, tennis’s easier cousin, it’s no wonder so many brands — including Mango, Lacoste, and Miu Miu — have leaned into the tenniscore trend. Some of fashion’s biggest celebs, like Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, have gotten in on the action, too.

Though you don’t actually have to play a racket sport to rock the tenniscore look, below, you’ll find several pieces you can actually play tennis in, all from Birdie & Ace — an activewear brand that specializes in tennis and golf wear. They aim to provide functional and fashionable performance apparel so you can look, feel, and perform your best. And while they’re made of a buttery soft performance fabric for getting your sport on, the pieces are stylish enough for wearing off the courts, too. Best of all, the brand is currently offering up to 20% off their new 2024 activewear collection (just enter the code BAFAMILY20 at checkout).

A Cute & Comfy Tennis Skort

For looking cute both on the courts and on days when you’re just running errands, check out the Scarlett Everyday Tour Skort. The short length makes running around easy (many reviewers call the skirt the “perfect length”), and its built-in mesh shorts underneath mean you can do all the running you want without any flashing. The skirt was designed with practicality in mind, with ball pockets on each side and a zippered back pocket for your phone or keys, as well a cute high waist and an even cuter pleated cut in the back.

  • Sizes: X-Small — Large | Colors: 15

This Versatile V-Neck Sleeveless Top

Another piece that’s easy to take off the court, Birdie & Ace’s V-Top adds an elevated touch to your athleisure wardrobe. Made of that same buttery performance fabric, the shirt is just thick enough — reviewers love how the material isn’t see-through, even in this white color. The V-neck gives it a feminine silhouette, while still providing a full-coverage cut that expands the top’s versatility. Throw on a blazer or cardigan and boom: you’re ready for the office or a nice dinner. The top comes in seven other colors and patterns besides white, all of which have preppy white piping.

  • Sizes: X-Small — X-Large | Colors: 8

A Long-Sleeve Polo For Cooler Weather

The rugby shirt’s been scoring big in the fashion world in recent months, and this long-sleeve polo means you can rock the trend while hitting the golf course or the tennis courts — or while you’re just out and about, too. It has an elegant V-neck silhouette, its breathable fabric means you’ll stay cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cool, and it comes in four different colors (three of which are striped).

  • Sizes: X-Small — Large | Colors: 4

This Sleeveless Quarter-Zip Top

For a streamlined silhouette and a piece that’s wearable in the gym or on a run, too, check out this racerback polo. The sleeveless top has an elegant high neckline punctuated by a quarter zip, and is made of that same buttery soft, moisture-wicking fabric. It has a slightly cropped length so you can wear it tucked or untucked, and it comes in the same colors and patterns as the skort so you can get that dress-like, elevated activewear look.

  • Sizes: X-Small — Large | Colors: 13

A Comfy Polo With A Slouchy Fit

Birdie & Ace’s Lily Polo, one of their more elevated pieces, takes you not just from errands to the court but from the court to dinner at the club, too. It features a collar and a quarter zip, along with breezy cap sleeves that won’t get in the way of your swing. It also has a looser fit throughout the bodice that’ll keep you cool, as well as a slightly cropped length and a fitted waistband, giving it all the refinement of a polo with the practicality of activewear. And even if you’re not coming from the country club, this polo will sure make you look like you are.

  • Sizes: X-Small — Large | Colors: 6
