Tennis skirts stopped being just for the court about five years ago. Now they’re everywhere—brunch, campus, actual matches. FengBay’s athletic skorts nail that crossover appeal without looking like you’re trying too hard.
The built-in shorts solve the obvious problem. No awkward moments bending over or sitting down. They’re actual compression shorts underneath, not flimsy safety shorts that bunch up. I played three sets in 85-degree heat and nothing rode up or shifted weird.
High waisted design sits comfortably without creating that muffin top situation. The waistband has decent grip but doesn’t dig into your stomach. I wore these for four hours straight—driving to the courts, playing doubles, grabbing food after—and forgot I had them on.
Pockets are the real MVP here. Two side pockets fit tennis balls during warmup. Back pocket holds my phone securely while moving around. I’ve done jumping jacks, sprints, full range of motion and nothing falls out. That’s rare for athletic wear at this price point.
The pleated style gives movement without extra fabric flapping around. Looks cute but stays functional during quick lateral movements. Material dries incredibly fast after sweating through a match. Ten minutes later you wouldn’t know.
I bought three colors because honestly? They work with everything. White tennis skirt with a crop top, black version with an oversized hoodie, navy with a fitted tank. Court to coffee shop without changing.
Washing them is simple. Machine wash cold, hang dry or low tumble. They come out wrinkle-free and the pleats stay crisp. No ironing needed which matters when you’re rushed before early morning games.

Why Skorts Beat Regular Skirts
Built-in short coverage – Play aggressively without worrying about exposure during serves
Multiple pocket options – Balls, phone, keys all stay secure through movement
Versatile styling potential – Dress them up or down depending on where you’re headed
These skorts changed how I pack for tournaments. One piece handles everything instead of coordinating separate shorts and skirts. The length hits mid-thigh, flattering on most body types without being too short or too long.
Material has decent weight to it. Not see-through when you bend over to pick up balls. The shorts underneath provide extra coverage plus light compression for thigh support. During long rallies my legs felt stable, not jiggly.
Waistband elastic has held up through dozens of washes. No stretching out or losing shape. They still fit the same as day one, which can’t be said for cheaper athletic skirts I’ve tried before.
The golf skort styling translates perfectly to tennis. Clean lines, functional design, nothing overly trendy that’ll look dated next season. I’ve seen similar styles at country clubs going for seventy bucks easy.
Color options matter when you’re wearing these constantly. Black goes with everything but shows lint. White looks classic but needs more frequent washing. Navy splits the difference—versatile and forgiving.
They run true to size based on the chart. I’m between small and medium, went with small because reviews suggested they have good stretch. Perfect call. They fit snug through the waist but the skirt portion has room to move.
For anyone wanting women’s athletic wear that actually transitions off the court, these deliver. Not costume-y, not too casual. Just right for active lifestyles that don’t pause between activities.
