My milkshakes bring all the boys to the... court

Simply put, there are a ton of outfit choices out there for tennis players.  The sport allows for many different styles and the freedom to dress in whatever is most comfortable.  A tennis player rarely has to match anyone unless they play for a school team or wants to match a doubles partner. I love this aspect. I can just throw on a pair of shorts and random shirt and I am ready to go! However, there are always those few people who can not appropriately handle this freedom.  I am sad that improper dressing is a problem in tennis, but for many girls the chance to impress/seduce a potential mate is too strong. There has been one too many tournaments that I have had to see a girls cleavage staring me in the face or had to deal with her bottom hanging out of a ridiculously tight tennis skirt.  Let's not forget the girl who will bounce around in a super short cheerleader type skirt with just as tight bloomers underneath though! So for this blog, I am going to address what outfits girls and guys should avoid.  (Sorry but I will not be posting pictures of such bad tennis style taste. I'm sure you can imagine)
This skirt is getting a little too close to the too short side. OOPS!

Girls:
1) Super low cut shirts.
We all love them, they are cute and show off just how adorable our collarbones are.  However, when you are running around for balls I don't want a show of just how much you were endowed in the upper region of your body.  That hunk in the corner of the court may compliment you on your shirt, but he is not interested in you, he is interested in what he just got a show of bouncing around.
2) Tight skirts.
I admit, I love them.  They show just how cute our backsides are, but they are still inappropriate.  Girls who wear these usually don't know what their opponent and audience get to see while they play: butt cheek, butt cheek, bloomer, too big of stretch! bloomer, butt cheek.  There is a right way to wear the tight skirt, which first starts with not getting it skin tight, dress so your grandmother wouldn't want to disown you on sight!
3) Short skirts.
Notice that the skirts tend to be the problem.  If you can't handle the skirt PLEASE just wear some good ol' nike shorts. I promise they are just and cute and comfortable.  I really can't say much about this. It is what it is. Most people are not ok with seeing your buns every time you pass by.  If you are trying to "get yo man" by this please just go to a club where such apparel is acceptable.

Boys:
Congratulations, you have really only two choices in what to wear! You rarely are told that what you are wearing is inappropriate and if you do you probably weren't trying to impress the opposite sex.  As a male, though you have less options, people will be able to respect your outfit even if it isn't the cutest thing you have ever put on. (Girls, aren't you jealous they get it so easy!)
1) Capris.
This is more of a biased rule.  Though I love Rafael Nadal, I would be much happier with him if he would wear normal shorts.  Guys, just don't. Generally girls are not impressed by your capris, even if you are the number 1 tennis player in the world.


It is sad that clothing must be discussed but it needs to happen.  So get The Ace in Life, without flashing anyone.
