Exercise Dresses That Go from the Tennis Court to the Food Court
Found: your dream moisture-wicking dress for on and off the courts.
Just like every woman needs an LBD, she also needs the perfect moisture-wicking dress for an effortless gym-to-lunch look. Now you can serve up looks on and off the court without changing. With retro athletic wear gracing the runway (à la Gucci, Tory Burch, and more), we wanted to match this old-money aesthetic with uncompromising style and function. After all, isn't it time your dress worked as hard as you do?
Our Top Picks
If dresses aren't your thing, not to worry—try matching workout sets or versatile skorts and a sports bra. When looking for athletic wear, we've chosen outfits that move with you and are easy to wash so you can rinse and repeat. Wicking fabrics push sweat to the surface, where it evaporates and keeps you dry so you can move easily. For a smooth transition, make things easier by tossing your racket and groceries into Oprah's favorite roomy tote before meeting up with friends, and if you want to dress to impress, add sweat-resistant jewelry to your arsenal of trendy streetwear. Whether you're looking for quiet luxury, Barbicore trends, or easy slip-on looks, this edit is for you.
