It Started on the Court
The tennis skirtβa hybrid of performance and polishβhas long been a staple for athletes like Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka. But it was its crossover into pop culture, through icons like Bella Hadid and Zendaya, that made the high waisted tennis skirt a fashion statement off the court. Suddenly, the miniature skirt wasn't just for serves and volleys. It was for Sunday brunch, park walks, and impromptu weekend getaways.

From Sport to Street
Trend reports from Who What Wear and Vogue confirm it: the athletic skirt is one of the fastest-growing pieces in womenβs fashion. Searches for "black mini skirt" and "tennis dress" have surged in the past year, especially among Gen Z and Millennial consumers.

Why? Because it's a piece that *works hard*βyou can actually sweat in it, but you can also style it with chunky sneakers, an oversized button-down, or a ribbed tank top. Itβs the definition of sport-meets-street.
