The Rise Of Padel Fashion

Padel Takes the UK — And Style Steps Onto the Court

If padel isn’t on your radar yet, it will be soon. The sport is having a serious moment; think tennis meets squash with a sociable twist, played on sleek glass courts and backed by a growing scene of boutique clubs and in-the-know athletes.

What started as a niche game is fast becoming a lifestyle, and with that, a new dress code is emerging.

At Zoo Fashions, we’re always looking for the next wave, and for us, Padel isn’t just a sport; it’s a new frontier for style, where sport performance meets street-level cool.

So, What’s Padel All About?

Imagine a faster, friendlier cousin of tennis. You play it in doubles, on enclosed courts that make every rally feel kinetic. It’s easier to pick up than tennis, which means more time hitting winners, less time worrying about technique.

But the real hook? It’s social, stylish, and evolving fast. Everyone from pro athletes to tastemakers are picking rackets. And naturally, where the cultural moment goes, fashion follows.

Court-Ready Looks with Off-Court Appeal

Padel isn’t just rewriting the rules of the game, it’s inspiring a new wave of activewear that looks as good at brunch as it does mid-match. Luxe fabrics, tailored silhouettes, and sports heritage with a twist. This is gear made for playing, watching, or just showing up and turning heads.

Here’s who’s serving up the heat right now:

  • Casablanca – Leaning into tennis nostalgia with a dreamy palette and silk textures. Retro but elevated — perfect for a match or a martini.

  • Adidas x Wales Bonner – Where vintage sport meets retro flair. Courtwear with soul, culture, and edge.

  • Stone Island – The godfather of technical cool. Built for movement, but cut for the street.

  • Nahmias – From California to the court,  relaxed silhouettes, fluid fabrics, and just enough swagger to shift the vibe.

  • Y-3 – Yohji’s signature fluid silhouettes meet Adidas activewear  innovation. Sleek, sculpted and unmissably modern.

  • Kenzo – Playful, bold, and made for the spotlight. Because standout style shouldn’t stop at the net.

How to Play It (Style-Wise)

You don’t need to be centre court to nail the look. Here’s how to bring Padel energy into your rotation:

Retro Luxe: Throw a Casablanca zip-up over a clean tee. Instant court-side cool.

Elevated Sport: Mix Wales Bonner shorts with a mesh tank. Add Stone Island sneakers to ground it all.

Top It Off: Finish with a Y-3 or Kenzo cap — it’s the kind of detail that hits differently.

Game On, Style First

Padel might be the new sport of the moment, but it’s also a mindset: fast-moving, style-conscious, and just under the radar enough to feel exclusive.

We’ve curated the ultimate edit for those who move differently — whether you’re chasing points or just bringing the energy court side.

Because in 2025, sportswear isn't just about performance. It’s about presence.
