As the temps shift and the leaves begin to change, your tennis attire must too. Fall in the Pacific Northwest brings with it unpredictable weather patterns. You might experience high temps, rain, wind and a chill all in one day. If you are hitting the outdoor courts, it’s best to be prepared with the proper attire.
The following are a couple of tips and apparel ideas for keeping your time on the court this season comfortable.
Since temps can go from high to low and back to high in the matter of an hour, it’s best to dress in layers that you can pull off and on while you play. Wear leggings beneath your tennis skirt or shorts. Pull a long sleeve shirt over your tank top or a warm jacket over a t-shirt.

There’s nothing more detrimental to your health and wellbeing than being wet when the temps take a nosedive. Moisture-wicking apparel keeps sweat away from your skin, so that you stay warm even when it’s cold and you are perspiring. And it also keeps you comfortable. Your first layer of clothing should be moisture wicking.
You lose body heat fast without a hat. Keep a beanie or cap with you at all times and don’t hesitate to put it on when it gets chilly out. Cool off quick when the day goes from crisp to hot by simply taking your cap off.
The autumn months tend to be darker. Wear clothes that are bright or have reflective striping on them, especially if you are out late. This is a key tip for staying safe, especially when you are off the court between games.
