Best dressed at the Veolia Milwaukee Open
The Veolia Milwaukee Open delivered some exciting fashion moments on the pro pickleball court.
With lots of on-trend pickleball fall fashion featuring colors like burgundy and navy, players continue to step it up every tournament.
Some familiar faces made the list again this time around, and a few newcomers secured spots as well.
Here are the best dressed players from the Veolia Milwaukee Open:
This fit marks Johnson’s first time on the Best Dressed List, and this is exactly how you debut with style. Clad in JOOLA, Johnson rocked a gorgeous burgundy polo, white shorts, white arm sleeve, white socks, and white Nike court shoes. He looks fresh, clean, and perfectly put together. Details are everything.

I need Black’s pickleball wardrobe hanging in my closet because this candy apple red is sporty with the zipper detailing down the front, breathable with the mesh paneling on the top, and incredibly flattering with the fit and flare skirt from 11NIL. Paired with a white hat, white shoes, and a white pearl necklace, she consistently shows up to every tournament in style.
Koller kept it clean when he played men’s doubles alongside Collin Johns. Unfortunately, they did not match. But, Koller looked sharp with a navy lululemon matching T-shirt, shorts, and backwards hat with pops of white from his LA Mad Drops sweatbands, white high socks, and white and navy shoes. His fit is textbook clean.
Is this my new favorite fashion duo? Just look at this stunning lavender purple alo yoga skirt paired with fitted white tank tops. Tell me it’s not a perfect outfit... Better yet, the women still keep their individual preferences with Smith wearing a lavender ribbon woven into her braid and Todd with a matching scrunchie. Smith opted for a baseball hat and Todd chose a visor. It’s matchy-matchy, while still maintaining a sense of individuality. Absolutely love it.
You can never go wrong with a classic, and Stratman played mixed doubles in a navy pleated tennis skirt and matching fitted tank top with a white visor, white ASICS court shoes, and white eye glasses. It’s the kind of outfit that truly never goes out of style and looks great on everyone. A winning look.
Oh, how I love this little forest green fitted tennis dress Bright wore on Championship Sunday in women’s doubles. While Bright and her partner, Rachel Rohrabacher, usually match, Rohrabacher wore a lighter green tank top and skirt. Personally, I prefer Bright’s dress. It also has a little opening in the back, and it’s just so cute.
Tardio stood out in men’s dubs alongside Best Dressed List regular, Federico Staksrud. He wore a simple white T-shirt, sky blue shorts, white Skechers court shoes, and white high socks. What works here is the details, matching white socks and white shoes with no crazy extra colors. Tardio’s look is simple, sleek, and pops.
Brascia has graced the Best Dressed List before with her classic looks on the court. This look is no different. Sporting Selkirk gear, Brascia wore a fitted tank top, fitted black skirt with a small slit, and topped it off with a white and black hat, white shoes, and white eyewear. This look is simply timeless.
