Pickleball Style Guide

Gear That Looks Good and Plays Better

When you step onto the pickleball court, your gear should work as hard as you do. Whether you’re serving, volleying, or sprinting for a shot, your pickleball outfit should move with you—keeping you comfortable, confident, and ready for every point. That’s why Play-PKL designs pickleball apparel and accessories made not just to look good, but to perform where it counts: on the court.

Smart Pockets for Pickleball Play

Standard pockets just don’t cut it for pickleball. Typical pockets place the ball in front, disrupting your swing and throwing off your rhythm. And while tennis skorts are designed to tuck a ball under the spandex short, a pickleball’s harder, rougher surface makes that uncomfortable and impractical. That’s why we created our pickleball skorts and shorts with pockets made specifically for pickleball players. Set discreetly behind the hip, these outside pockets keep the larger plastic ball secure and out of the way while you play. With this thoughtful design, you can focus on your game instead of worrying about where to stash your pickleball.

Comfort and Fit for Every Body

Pickleball is for everyone, and your gear should reflect that. Too often, activewear for women and men is designed with just one body type in mind. Play-PKL offers flattering fits for a wide range of body shapes and sizes—so you can feel great and perform your best without sacrificing comfort or style.

Prints That Show Your Pickleball Personality

Pickleball style is more than just athletic wear—it’s a reflection of the game’s energy. Just like golfers, tennis players, and runners each have signature looks that match their sport, pickleball deserves its own distinctive style. Why settle for basic when you can show up with personality? Our prints capture the vibrant spirit of the game, from bold and dynamic patterns to unique designs featuring pickleball paddle-shaped confetti.

Optional Pickleball Accessories

While not mandatory, many players opt for extras like pickleball visors, hats, wristbands, or scrunchies to keep hair and sweat under control. Just make sure any accessory you choose is functional and won’t interfere with your play. And when it comes to carrying your essentials—whether it’s paddles, balls, water bottles, or a change of clothes—a functional pickleball tote bag is a must. The Lulu Pickleball Tote is a standout choice, designed with both style and utility in mind. With plenty of space, oversized water bottle pockets, and playful pickleball-shaped zipper pulls, it’s as ready for the court as you are.
