Apparel: Fashions That Are a Smashing Success

Sea blues, charcoals, pinks and corals form much of the fall/winter palate as the year end ushers in sleek, fun designs with high-tech, sustainable fabrics promising comfort and breathability.

Asics

Asics Athlete dress is an “extreme” fitted racer-back with accompanying briefs, which comes in solid and contrast colors. Worn by Sam Stosur on the WTA Tour, this sporty dress with an inner shelf bra has a laser-cut mesh back panel, which aids in ventilation and comfort ($100).

Bolle

Bolle rocks the court and continues the layered tiered look of fall with its Lavender Fields fashion line. Sporting graphite, white and lavender, some core components of this easy-wear, breathable line feature a three-quarter sleeve V-neck top ($34) and chevron-printed skort ($64); and a solid racer-back top that flatteringly crosses over at the front ($62), paired with a woven layered skort ($68).

Fila

Fila’s Platinum collection will debut on the US Open courts this year. Fila calls its most recent fabrication “futuristic armor for the athletic warrior,” as it features Thermacool fabric, which is supposed to work in concert with the body’s natural thermal capabilities to promote maximum comfort. The racer-back dress with built-in bra has a streamlined front that graduates to a flippy bottom back flounce. It comes in white with black, and teal blue with black ($90).
