Can't get enough of the athletic apparel trend rocking the fashion world? See the latest by the Italian luxury house to inspire your next visit to the courts.&nbsp;

Following the smash hit success of&nbsp;<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/i-told-ya-shirt-challengers-movie-viral-loewe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Challengers</a>, Taylor Swift's ultra-chic tennis-inspired look from the viral <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/taylor-swift-skirt-fortnight-challenge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Fortnight" challenge</a>, and the revival of the tenniscore aesthetic online, the sport has re-emerged as one of the trendiest pastimes of recent months&mdash;although, with top-tier athletes like Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal dominating the courts in the past decade, did the hype ever really die down? While alternative racket sports like pickleball and <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/shopping/luxury-beach-paddle-ball-rackets-kadima-rackets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kadima</a> have surfaced as activities parallel to tennis, neither truly compares to the timeless allure of tennis, both in terms of aesthetic and global popularity.&nbsp;
Tennis has long presented a wealth of inspiration for luxury houses, as the sport's uniforms offer designers opportunities to infuse their own aesthetics and design philosophies into court-ready attire. <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/beauty/gucci-perfumes-bloom-flora-guilty-cologne-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>, in particular, has enjoyed a long relationship with tennis, tracing its roots all the way back to the 1970s, when ready-to-wear apparel along with footwear and accessories suitable for athletes first emerged. The Tennis 1977 shoe, which was one of the first <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-spring-sneaker-collabs-supreme-nike-louis-vuitton-travis-scott" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sneakers</a> created by a luxury label, was popularized during this era and has since risen to cult-classic status.&nbsp;
In 2024, Gucci continues its enduring link to tennis. Drawing from the Italian house's archival tennis styles from the '70s and '80s, creative director <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-sabato-de-sarno-documentary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sabato de Sarno</a> reimagined many of the brand's most iconic athletic styles for a contemporary consumer.&nbsp;
Although tennis uniforms tend to skew fairly simple, the innate grace, elegance, and strength in the sport's attire offer luxury brands plenty of inspiration to work with&mdash;especially for a house like Gucci, where the codes and philosophies of design align seamlessly with the pared-back, but emblematic attire.&nbsp;
Ahead of the official June 2024 launch of Gucci's latest line of minimalistic tennis attire, explore the pleated tennis <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/shopping/bubble-skirts-balloon-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skirts</a>, crisp white collared tops, and polished racket bags that the collection has to offer.&nbsp;
