Referred to as tenniscore and golfcore, the TikTok viral aesthetic has been taking over social media feeds since last year. The inspo? Traditional golf garb and vintage tennis fashion — think '80s New England prep attire like graphic sweatshirts, floral visors, and white tennis skirts. Getty Images The aesthetic dates back to 1950 when tennis champion and fashion designer Ted Tinling designed white A-line dresses for some of the sport's biggest stars like Billie Jean King and Virginia Wade. Fast forward to the '90s, Princess Diana popularized the preppy athleisure aesthetic by wearing tennis skirts and her iconic varsity sweatshirt and bicycle shorts combo. Now, celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have helped revive the style yet again by wearing tennis-inspired outfits from brands like Alo Yoga (it has an entire tennis-inspired storefront, BTW) and Lacoste.
