ICYMI: Pickleball is the new tennis. The paddle sport, which first began attracting players of all ages in the early days of the pandemic, has officially reached a fever pitch—and as a result, a crop of brands are making "pickleballcore" the center of their businesses with new collections.

"Pickleball apparel is appealing because it allows women to feel fashionable and comfortable both on and off the court," says Dayna Ziegler, SVP and GMM of contemporary and modern ready to wear at Saks. Similar to the tennis aesthetic, pickleball outfits consist of the classics, such as tennis skirts, comfy sneakers, and polos. And just like tennis, adds Ziegler, "women can wear their pickleball outfits to run errands, to a casual lunch with her friends, to pick up the kids from school, and everything in between."

Whether you're a seasoned dinker or just getting started in the game, ahead find the cutest pieces for acing your pickleball outfits this summer.
