If you’re the kind of pickleball player who believes looking good translates to playing better, this one’s for you. I’ve rounded up my go-to essentials for women on the court—think butter-soft leggings, flattering dresses, and sun-protective tees that actually perform. These are the staples I reach for every time I play, whether I’m heading to open play or a competitive match. 

Click here to shop the list, and let’s get started. 

Pickleball Tops

I’ve been a longtime fan of CRZ Yoga’s gear, so don’t be surprised—this won’t be the last time the brand shows up on this list.

I love a tank top with a built-in bra, so I don’t have to worry about matching or wearing multiple layers. I already own the butterluxe racerback tank in black and navy, and I can’t recommend them enough. I’ve worn these tank tops hundreds of times now and they’re wearing very well.  

They also have a higher neckline for more coverage, which is great for competitive play. Available in several different colors, these are tanks that you’ll be glad you invested in.

I own the scoop neck tank top in dark brown and white as well (and the white is one of my all-time favorites because it’s not see through).

For a short sleeve option, I recommend the CRZ Yoga seamless T-shirt that’s a sleek design and comes in all your closet’s neutrals. 

For a trendy open back T-shirt, this one is so cute, has great reviews, and comes in so many colors that you can certainly find your personal favorite in the lineup. 

For long sleeves, I really like the baleaf women’s shirt with built-in UPF sun protection. It comes in several different beautiful colors and helps keep your skin protected from the sun. No need to lather up on the sunscreen, this shirt has got you covered. 

Pickleball Skirts

There’s two kinds of pickleball ladies, the ones who love to play in a pair of shorts and the ones who love a skirt. This section is for the skirt girls. 

I adore the CRZ Yoga pleated skirts. They are so comfortable and flattering on literally every body type. I own two, in lavender and white, and they’re my favorite pickleball skirts. 

Another skirt that several of my pickleball friends swear by is the baleaf skirt with pleats only in the back. This style is so cute and adds so much flare to an outfit.

For a fitted skirt look, this butterluxe skirt is another great option for your wardrobe. It comes in so many different colors, and the fabric is amazing. 

A new favorite skirt of mine is from Tasc Performance gear. I currently own the skirt in navy, and it’s an option I’m constantly reaching for. It’s fitted, so comfortable, and the shorts don’t ride up. It’s a must-have.  

And best of all, all these skirts have built-in shorts underneath so you don’t have to worry about buying an extra article of clothing. It’s all in one.

For biker shorts, my go-to (you’ll never guess) is CRZ Yoga. Their fabric is so incredibly soft that I consistently reach for their stuff every time, so their biker shorts are a win for me. 

But for a flowy short, I recommend a pair that also has built-in compression shorts underneath, like this classic pair that has a high slit for added flare. 

And for a short that’s even more flowy, I really like this butterfly short with a cross-over waistband that accentuates your curves – that’s a good look for all the ladies. I’m definitely adding these to my shopping cart. 

Pickleball Dresses

Now if you’re looking for an athletic dress, this is the section for you. I love an athletic dress because it truly makes getting ready so easy.

Here’s some of my favorite athletic dresses. 

This strappy dress is a bestseller for very good reason. It has everything you want in a basic athletic dress: a built-in bra and shorts and a pocket. It comes in a variety of gorgeous colors from light blue to burgundy and everything in between. And the fact that it’s on sale right now? Even better.  

For a more stylized look, check out this high neck and open back athletic dress with a ruffle skirt. This looks extremely similar to a dress pickleball pro Ella Yeh wore to earn her a spot on the Best Dressed List, so this is definitely a cute one. 

Another option that brings a lot of style to a basic fit and flare silhouette, this dress with a tiered mesh skirt over the top is so cute. 

For the majority of the items listed, these have been tested by me or my women’s dubs partners and have great reviews. So I highly recommend trying out any of these pieces and showing up looking your best when you play pickleball.
