Wilson Court Style at The Clothette: Tennis Heritage Takes Over Urban Fashion
Published
June 1, 2025

For the Fall/Winter 2025 season, Wilson continues to blur the lines between high-performance sports gear and sophisticated lifestyle apparel. The collection is a masterclass in the "Modern Preppy" look. A style that feels as at home in a Parisian café as it does on a clay court.
The Rise of Tennis-Core
In recent seasons, tennis has moved far beyond the baseline. It has become a dominant fashion movement, often referred to as Tennis-Core. Wilson, a brand with a legacy spanning over a century at the heart of the sport, is uniquely positioned to lead this shift. The FW25 collection isn't just about functionality; it’s about a lifestyle. It’s for those who value the heritage of the game but want a wardrobe that transitions seamlessly into their daily urban life.

Clay courts inspire champions and designers alike.
Tennis & trends, from their origins to the iconic 90s
From its inception in the 20th century, this elite sport has breathed new functional elegance into the wardrobe. But it was truly in the 1990s that tennis style experienced its golden age. This decade saw sportswear transformed into genuine fashion statements: vibrant colors, bold cuts, assertive logos, and an uninhibited "cool preppy" attitude that massively influenced streetwear. The silhouettes of court icons have left a lasting mark on the collective imagination.
It is in this vibrant heritage that the new Wilson Court Style line draws its inspiration, offering a reinterpretation of this golden era. A logical resurgence: tennis, with its timeless aesthetic and aura of relaxed elegance, is more relevant than ever, as evidenced by the success of cutting-edge collaborations.
We think of the one between Wilson and Ronnie Fieg, the artistic director of Kith, in 2023, which offered a decidedly fashion-oriented vision of this universe and foreshadowed the birth of the Court Style line.

The Wilson archives are filled with inspiration.
Wilson Court Style – Tennis elegance reinvented for the city
With "Wilson Court Style," the American brand, a leading equipment supplier and official ball provider for the NBA, the US Softball League, and, of course, major tournaments like the US Open and Roland Garros, doesn't simply adapt its archives. It borrows the aesthetic and technical codes of tennis to create a complete urban wardrobe, characterized by understated technicality and a sporting heritage.
The ready to wear collection : a full closet inspired by the courts
Imagine pleated skirts with a modern fluidity, impeccably tailored piqué polos, timeless cricket sweaters, flowing shorts perfect for the city, and cozy knit cardigans. Each piece is designed with meticulous attention to detail: seamless construction for ultimate comfort, contrasting piping that accentuates the lines, subtly embroidered logos, and a palette where iconic white interacts with colors and patterns inspired by the tennis courts.
The use of materials like technical mesh and terry cloth further anchors the collection in its sporting heritage while ensuring perfect modernity and comfort for everyday wear.

Atmosphere and aesthetics at the crossroads of preppy and tennis styles.
The Footwear: The iconic Pro Staff 87 is having a big comeback!
In parallel, Wilson offers a footwear line that perfectly complements this wardrobe. The undisputed star? The Pro Staff 87, a true icon of the 80s that's making a strong comeback. "An icon, reimagined": this shoe, prized at the time for its "clean, sporty simplicity and match-ready comfort," is a faithful recreation of the original 1987 model, with modern improvements.
It features a full-grain leather upper, classic branding details on the tongue, heel, and sides, while a soft and responsive midsole foam ensures optimal comfort. A true must-have for sneaker enthusiasts with a retro and timeless style.
