What to wear to play padel: a style guide for women

More and more women are discovering that what they wear to play padel changes more than how they look: it changes how they feel on court. A comfortable garment, designed for movement, with a design that represents you, gives you the freedom to focus on the only thing that matters during the match: playing.

In this guide we look at the options in women's padel apparel, what each garment should offer you and how to complete your look on and off the court.

Dress or set? The two ways to dress for padel

In women's padel fashion there are two main paths: the dress, which solves the whole look in a single garment, and the skirt-and-top set, which lets you mix pieces. Neither is better than the other: they're two different ways of feeling comfortable and confident while you play.

The padel dress: a complete look in one move

The PADELISIMA padel dress is designed so you don't have to think about anything else: it has a built-in bra, inner shorts with a ball pocket and a pleated skirt that follows every movement. The open back and the gold logos on chest and back give it the elegant character that defines the brand.

Available in white, black and yellow, it's the favourite of those who want to arrive at the court, take off their hoodie and be ready.

The skirt-and-top set: versatility

The skirt-and-top padel set combines a short-sleeve top with a pleated skirt that also has inner shorts and a ball pocket. Available in black and yellow, it lets you play with combinations and adapt your look to each day.

Fabrics: what your clothes should do for you

Padel clothing works while you play. Both the dress and the set are made from lycra and nylon, a stretchy, breathable, quick-drying fabric that moves with you and stays fresh for the whole match.

A detail you'll appreciate every week: they machine-wash cold and air-dry without losing their shape.

The ball pocket: the detail that changes everything

Anyone who plays knows: the second ball has to be where your hand looks for it. That's why both the dress shorts and the set shorts have a pocket designed exactly for that. It's the kind of detail that only appears when clothing is designed from inside the game.

Complete the look: the bag

The padel look doesn't end with clothing. An elegant women's padel bag, with room for your racket, a change of clothes and your personal items, is what turns the journey to the court into part of the experience. At PADELISIMA we design them in a leather-effect finish with gold details, so they go with a training session as well as a trip.

Tips for getting the size right

The garments are available from S to XL, and each product page includes its size guide with measurements in centimetres. If you're between two sizes, check the chest measurement for the dress and the waist for the skirt: those are the ones that make the difference in comfort.

Conclusion

The best clothes for playing padel are the ones that let you move freely, keep you cool and make you feel like you. If you'd rather solve the look in one move, the dress is your garment. If you like to mix and match, the skirt-and-top set gives you options.
