Step 1
Check out what the other ladies are wearing. You can watch matches on TV if you want to see the very height of women's tennis skirt fashions, or you can just take a tour of your local courts and see what the current style is "on the streets."
-
Step 2
Make a mental note of the tennis skirt styles you like as you see them. Maybe you like longer skirts, or maybe you prefer showing off more leg as you strut your stuff on the court. See what appeals to you personally. If you see a skirt you like, don't be afraid to ask the player where she bought it. Most will feel flattered and be happy to tell you.

Step 3
Go to some sporting goods stores and pro shops and start trying things on for yourself. Try out various styles to see what suits you. You'll find a wide variety of skirt styles, from plain to bold, to sleek or flowery. Bring a friend to help you decide, but remember that you're the one who has to wear the skirt once you buy it. Go with your own tastes.

Step 4
Ask at regular women's clothing stores whether they have a tennis skirt selection. You may be surprised at how many name-brand designers are getting in on the act!
-
Step 5
Get help from a salesperson on the fitting. When you try on a tennis skirt, move around in it a bit to get a feel for it before you buy. You may find that certain cuts hamper your movement, or you might find some materials chafing, which will affect your play. While you want to look your best, you don't want to sacrifice the quality of your game.

Step 6
Buy a tennis skirt online at Amazon, SmashGal.com or FortyLoveTennis.com (see Resources below). Be sure to use the sizing charts, and save all your receipts in case anything doesn't fit and needs to be returned.
