Best dressed at the Stratusphere Gin Virginia Beach Cup

One takeaway from the PPA Tour's Stratusphere Gin Virginia Beach Cup was that the pros continue to impress in the fashion department.

They showed up in style with classic silhouettes and neutral colors heading into the fall and winter season. 

Here are the best dressed pros from the tournament:

Callie Smith

Callie always looks like a star on the court, but this look is a standout for me. The bright, coral pink looks great on her, and both the top and bottom have their unique elements. She sported a classic tank top and flare skirt silhouette, but both of the pieces individually stand out. The skirt has this lovely tiered texture, paired with a strappy back on the top, which makes it a classic look with added flash. 

Ava Ignatowich

Sometimes you have to keep it simple, and black is everyone’s color. I love this look from Ava, who usually opts for bright yellows and pinks. She wore this alo yoga fitted square neck tank and pleated tennis skirt. It’s a timeless look that always makes her look sleek.  

Federico Staksrud

This marks Federico's second time in a row on the Best Dressed List. He’s really stepping up his fashion game. Normally, I don’t like when the pros wear arm sleeves because they almost always clash with their outfits, but Federico opted for white sleeves to match his JOOLA white shorts. Excellent choice. 


Layne Sleeth

Layne looked splendid in Virginia Beach wearing Nike black leggings with mesh cutouts, and a Nike turquoise blue tank top that was paired with a black visor. The details really shine in this fit because even her white shoes have coordinating turquoise on the soles. Layne created a cohesive look from head to toe. 

Ryan Fu

This is universal advice for men: wear one color or wear a matching set from your favorite brand. Ryan sported this New Balance set, and he looks sharp. He wore a white T-shirt with two black stripes across the chest, paired with black shorts and black shoes. Welcome to the Best Dressed List, Ryan!

Meghan Dizon

Meghan always keeps it sporty chic, and this look is no different. She keeps it simple, yet sophisticated in a gray fitted skirt and a white high-neck tank. Meghan paired her look with white shoes and a white hat, and her bright red Proton paddle adds a bold pop of color to complete the classic fit. 

Michael Loyd

Michael is a man with style. Just look at his jewelry and tattoos. Outfitted in Stack, he looks effortlessly cool in this light blue T-shirt, black shorts, HEAD shoes, and a black hat. Though I'm partial to Michael's other look from Virginia where he wore white and black to better match his shoes, he still looks chill whenever he hits the court.
