Best dressed at PPA Asia 1500 Hong Kong Slam

A bunch of the top pros from the PPA Tour traveled overseas for the PPA Asia 1500 Hong Kong Slam. Between the familiar pros from the states, and the new faces abroad, there was some seriously good fashion on the court at this event.

 

So here’s the best dressed pro pickleball athletes from PPA Asia. 

Yuheng Ma

This might be one of my favorite looks from the whole event, and it’s a pro who’s making her best dressed list debut. Ma wore this gorgeous turquoise high rise tank, matching visor, and this really cool white multi-tiered skirt from Lululemon. The color is absolutely stunning and the tiered skirt has such beautiful movement on the court. If this is anything like the rest of her pickleball wardrobe, we might have a best dressed list regular on our hands.

Gabe Tardio

I love when one of the top male pros in the world surprises me. Tardio’s fashion isn’t usually anything too out of the box, but this tie-dye shirt (here’s a lookalike from Wilson) is pretty unusual, but I really like it. This blended baby pink and blue shirt is the standout, but I love how the pink also matches the pink in his Stria shoes. And styled with all white for maximum cohesion? This is a winning look. It’s serving cotton candy in the best possible way.

JW Johnson and Tama Shimabukuro

Johnson and Shimabukuro did one of my favorite doubles outfit combos where they were the same colors, but in reverse order. Johnson with a white hat, blue shirt, white shorts, black shoes, and Shimabukuro with a black hat, white shirt, blue shorts, and white shoes. And they look well put together and thoughtful. Well done, guys.

Sahra Dennehy and Tama Shimabukuro

Shimabukuro and his mixed partner, Sahra Dennehy did the same outfit formula too with white and red. Dennehy wore a fitted red top, white skirt, and white shoes, and Shimabukuro wore a white shirt, red shorts, and white shoes. And what I love most of all is that this is a mixed doubles outfit idea that you can easily recreate at home with your partner.

Lingwei Kong and Yufei Long

This is another doubles outfit formula that I really like. Kong wore a light blue set and Long wore a similar matching set in navy. You can never go wrong with a fit and flare silhouette, especially in a monochromatic set. It’s so elegant and timeless for court style. And I appreciate how they also matched their styling with white shoes, white visors, and even using the same Facolos paddle. Every little detail makes these looks a winning fit.

Kiora Kunimoto

I really like Kunimoto’s court fashion because it’s so feminine and girly, while still being simple. And this pink dress with a corset top and flare skirt from alo is so ballerina-core. It’s one of my favorites she’s ever worn because it’s so classic.

Additionally, she wore this maroon dress with a small floral pattern that is equally as pretty. Here’s a few lookalikes to shop: Amazon, Your Personal Best, Posie Active.
