Even those living under a sports rock know that pickleball is a big deal right now. Over the course of a year, the sport switched from being a strictly old folks’ sport to a trendy pastime of teens, college kids, dads, moms and yes, still old folks. If you haven’t tried pickleball, let this be your sign — it’s time!
But if you don’t quite know what pickleball attire is, don’t worry — neither did we until we did some research and spent some time on the court. Nowadays we consider ourselves pickleball fashion experts, so let’s jump in!
We gathered some of our favorite pieces from retailers like Reebok, Amazon, Nike, lululemon and more to help you rock the court in more ways than one. Read on, grab your paddle and get ready for a match!
