Who would have thought that the first fashion trend of wearing yoga pants on the street has not yet passed, and the recent urban beauties have begun to wear tennis skirts to work.
If you've been shopping in any of the big city's trendy business districts lately, you'll know that tennis jerseys have become a fashion item for young people. This kind of sportswear, which should have appeared on the tennis court, is becoming another new favorite in the middle-class clothing universe, "Obviously walking on the street, it seems to have strayed into the sorority of a tennis club." ”
"In the office building of the CBD, there are young white-collar workers wearing badges but wearing dopamine-colored tennis skirts. In the café and pantry, sit your colleagues in tennis suits for video conferences – it's like a fashion joke that you can see tennis skirts everywhere in the city, except the tennis courts. ”

Regardless of whether you can play tennis or not, tennis-style clothing has become the latest trend of consumption for white-collar workers in big cities. In a certain Lu store, tennis skirts are arranged one by one like copy and paste, with subtle color differences, even comparable to the extremely subdivided shades of liquid foundation.
The price of a tennis uniform ranges from a few hundred to thousands. Sought after by young white-collar workers, tennis uniforms have even become a financial product. You can't tell which skirt will suddenly increase in price, "There are always people who find that the price of the dress has risen to twice the price the next day." ”
The popularity of tennis-style clothing was initially due to the awakening of a group of people, "No matter how much you wear a logo to show off your worth, as long as you are still working, others will feel untrustworthy; But wearing a tennis skirt to the office is to show that after work, he pursues an aristocratic sports lifestyle. ”

It's just that while satisfying some people's decent dressing, tennis skirts have also triggered some people's body anxiety. Some people vowed on social media to buy a tennis skirt to reward themselves when they lost weight, but they didn't know that the design of the tennis uniform was so tricky, "No matter how many pounds you have, it will be as tight as another layer of skin." ”
This kind of tightness is obviously contrary to the sense of relaxation pursued by the fashion industry, but for migrant workers, it is like the skin of a superhero, and it is the most suitable fashion shirt for work uniforms. "Not only do you not need to iron before going out, it is waterproof and sweatproof, not afraid of wind and rain, but also that layer of skin is stretched on the body, and even makes people automatically straighten their backs, which has the effect of shapewear."
Tennis lovers would not have imagined that their sportswear could be associated with fashion in a weird way. "Wearing a skirt to play tennis is because tennis involves movements such as turning shoulders and kicking legs, and when you throw up a short skirt, you can check the perfection of your lower body movements. Although it is indeed beautiful, every time I go to the locker room to put on and take it off, I have to face the embarrassment of not being able to take it off with grinning teeth, let alone wearing it to work. ”
But for young people, tennis skirts are "too high-profile to wear to the gym, just right to the office". "Everyone already knows that people who wear a certain lu do not necessarily practice yoga, and people who wear a certain bird do not necessarily play outdoors. But the tennis-style outfit never shows off the logo, but it allows others to see the fruits of their middle-class lifestyle at a glance. ”

It has been said that the tennis suit is a permissive version of skims, "which requires you not to be thin, but to have muscle." If you practice a little, it will be able to outline your muscles and cover the flesh of your skirt. While generously showing the results of life, he also knows how to measure up to the point. ”
The tennis uniform firmly on the body is still a source of security for young people to wear. "The tennis skirt has safety pants, so you don't have to worry about going naked; With a chest pad, it saves a lot of trouble. The most important thing is to sweat away, even if you have sweat stains due to sweating too much, you don't have to feel embarrassed, because everyone will assume that you have just returned from the court. ”
Just like the JK uniform of urban white-collar workers, the tennis skirt can bring a kind of vitality when the skirt is shaken, and even the class flavor on the body is much lighter. "You're going to start a healthy lifestyle yourself, and the slack in the dopamine color of your tennis suit will make you wonder if you're going to Wimbledon on annual leave."

There are even people who wear tennis style as their "anti-theft equipment" when traveling abroad. "The dopamine color system can not only produce films, but also put valuables in the ball pocket of tight pants, which is both beautiful and secure."
For those who really want to go to the gym after work, tennis clothes can be worn with a bit of fashion while being versatile. "Whether it's going to play badminton or golf, or even simply running a single step, the tennis skirt will never look cramped."
People who wear tennis skirts to work can't be messed with at all. "Because it is like a good back, you can sit at the workstation and keep your chest up and your head up, looking like a workplace elite's confident appearance; And colleagues will also acquiesce, you are a self-disciplined person who wants to sweat after work, after all, you wear tennis uniforms to work, can you still go home and order takeout after work? ”
Those who have an impression of the tennis skirt as "the standard on the court" will inevitably wonder if it has become the center of the fashion circle. As everyone knows, the essence of tennis style dressing is to create an atmosphere of "don't care if I like to play or not, as long as I have money and leisure, I am ready to tee off at any time".
Rebecca, a post-90s northern bleaching collar, has begun to realize that there is still a certain threshold for tennis style dressing since she started wearing a tennis skirt to work.
"Although sportswear doesn't have to be about size, when you wear it, you will find that the better you are in shape, the better you look at it. In the past, I could go to work by washing my face, but now I wear a tennis suit, I don't tan myself into wheat-colored skin, and I am embarrassed to contaminate the tennis skirt one step if I practice some muscle lines. ”

Some people say that tennis uniforms are still the most low-key "old money style wear". "Using logos and materials to advertise that you have money will always cost you a lot of unjust money. But wearing a tennis skirt in daily life is showing that his lifestyle has moved closer to the aristocracy. It doesn't matter whether you can play tennis or not, as long as you wear the iconic polo shirt and pleated skirt, you can become a high-class person in terms of appearance. ”
Jia Ning, a white-collar worker in Shanghai who entered the tennis skirt vertically this summer, works in a foreign company. The company has no dress code, so Jianing wears a tennis uniform as her own uniform. For her, the reason for her "Internet addiction" is because the tennis skirt itself is a vitality filter.
"No matter how expensive the clothes I wear to work, I am always lifeless, but the organ pleated skirt has a foreign atmosphere like JK's uniform. When I was a child, I was very envious of the energetic beauty who wore a ponytail and wore a tennis skirt, and her aesthetics have not changed for more than 20 years, and she has become the person she expects a little. ”

For "middle-aged girls", wearing tennis uniforms is not only to be more energetic, but also because of this tight skin, it is like a tight spell, forcing you to be self-disciplined.
"It's like lifestyle shapewear, in order to show your will to manage your body, you will automatically haunt the gym in a tennis skirt, and you will even start to want to learn tennis. For the sake of the waistcoat line, ridge groove and limb line, you may also control your appetite for eating. ”

Compared to the "skims believers" who always wear shapewear and corsetes to show off their curves with confidence, and lululemon girls who try to tuck themselves into a size 0 sports jacket, the fashionistas who love tennis style wear don't seem to have so much body anxiety.
The post-95s "tennis girl" Da Buyu usually loves to play tennis, even when she is not on the court, she will wear a tennis uniform to the office. Da Buyu told me that tennis style is actually a kind of outfit that doesn't work hard.
"I used to think it was too awkward to wear a skirt, but a tennis skirt is like a sports one-piece, and there is a sense of cheerfulness and sports student when you wear it. No one will judge you for being feminine or imperfect. Exercise becomes a shield that blocks the scrutiny of your body. ”
For her, the most uncomfortable thing about the tennis suit is that it sticks to her body after sweating, and you even need another person to help you take it off.
But for Jisso, who is hardly athletic, the troubles that tennis skirts bring to athletes are almost never experienced by himself.
"Tennis uniforms are only uncomfortable for people who really exercise, and if you sit in an air-conditioned room to work every day, the biggest exercise is to catch the subway. You don't sweat at all, and it's not that hard to get off. ”
Since entering the tennis style, Jisso has bought nearly half of his wardrobe tennis skirt, and even equipped with a golf cap and sports backpack, even though he has never been to the court.
Jisso didn't think it was a waste of money, but carefully calculated the accounts. "In Beijing, a tennis private lesson costs a few hundred, and if you want to play decently, you have to spend at least 10,000 yuan. If it's to show off your lifestyle, then wearing a tennis skirt has the same effect as playing tennis, but the price is much cheaper. ”
"And when my colleagues ask me if I often go to tennis, I just smile mysteriously and say that I go once in a while."
ENDING:
Some people questioned that the tennis-style outfit was too contrived, "Not only are the skirts very short, but most of them are suspenders and open backs, showing off all the figures, but also being too sexy." ”
But for "net door believers", the design of tennis uniforms can just show that their aesthetics have left the stage of "embarrassed and sexy".
And while revealing sexual tension, these ingenuity are inherently practical. Even if the skirt is thrown up, you will find a layer of tight safety pants under the skirt, and even a mobile phone can be stuffed in the ball pocket of the pants. The backless design is just to facilitate perspiration. ”
