The best tennis outfits at the 2025 U.S. Open reflect the growing variety in styles and brands available for the sport. No longer are Nike and Adidas the only brands outfitting the top players. Upstart brand Vuori lured Jack Draper from Nike. Taylor Fritz signed with Hugo Boss, and Danielle Collins partnered with FP Movement.

The new labels bring a fresh spin on tennis attire that had gone bland following the retirements of icons Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, and Serena Williams.

“A lot and brands, like care about the kits more,” said Coco Gauff, in a post-match press conference following her second-round win. “Now brands are having more than just one kit for their roster of athletes. When I was (first) going to the US Open, it was kind of looking like a cheerleading squad, and everybody in one kit.”

While there were no showstoppers like Serena Williams’ 2004 black Puma catsuit or Maria Sharapova’s 2006 Nike little black dress, many players arrived dressed to impress. The following are the best-dressed players at the 2025 U.S. Open.

Best Dressed Women In Red At The US Open

Marta Kostyuk: Wilson

Marta Kostyuk and Wilson have found a winning collaboration. The player from Ukraine has almost single-handedly brought Wilson tennis apparel back in vogue. The Wilson Winning Onesie features a stretchy mesh skirt and cute cutouts on the back.

Leylah Fernandez: Lululemon

Leylah Fernandez signed with Lululemon in 2022, after her historic run to the 2021 U.S. Open final. Fernandez wore a cute two-piece red Textured Mesh Tennis tank top from Lululemon.

Peyton Stearns: Wilson

Peyton Stearns wore a two-piece ensemble, consisting of the Wilson seamless polo crop top and a Winning tennis skirt. The white wristbands and visor complete the sporty ensemble.

Coco Gauff: New Balance

In keeping with the crop top and two-piece theme, Gauff opted for a sporty red and white New Balance kit with cutouts in the back.

Best Dressed People In Purple

Carlos Alcaraz: Nike

Carlos Alcaraz gained attention for his new haircut. But his plum kit from NikeCourt was the real showstopper. The purple from head to toe overshadowed Alcaraz’s bald head. The purple top has already sold out on Nike’s website.

Alexander Zverev: Adidas

Alexander Zverev wore a deep purple kit from Adidas’ Y-3 Collection, designed by Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, and paired it with a black headband.

Maria Sakkari: Adidas

Maria Sakkari also wore the Adidas Y-3 Collection. However, she chose the Y3 jumper. It was one of the boldest looks at the tournament.

Best Bold Choices AT The US Open

Frances Tiafoe: Lululemon

Some players opted for bold choices in terms of pattern, style, or color. Perhaps an homage to Serena Williams’ 2014 Nike animal print, Frances Tiafoe wore the Lululemon Ventilated Short-Sleeve shirt and shorts in “animal mesh” red. Ever since Tiafoe switched from Nike to Lululemon, he’s been wearing more daring designs.

Magdalena Frech: Bidi Badu

Magdalena Frech’s Bidi Badu dress from the Komodo Collection stood out for its unique pattern. It’s the perfect combination of bold graphics on a simple, yet elegant designed dress.

Holger Rune: Nike

Holger Rune is wearing the same style kit as Alcaraz. However, the “mint foam” color stands out.

Best Primetime Kits

Novak Djokovic: Lacoste

Novak Djokovic looked the part of tennis’ elder statesman in his black Lacoste kit paired with his signature Court FF 3 Novak Night Energy shoes from Asics.

Jasmine Paolini: Asics

Jasmine Paolini wore the Asics Night Energy dress, which featured reflective elements in the fabric that sparkled under the night lights.

Ben Shelton: On

Ben Shelton’s pink shoes, black socks complemented his Court shorts in a rare win for On, which is not known for producing colorful kits.

Aryna Sabalenka: Nike

Aryna Sabalenka’s Nike Court Slam dress in black with pink trim features cutouts at the waist.

Best Warmup Jackets

Naomi Osaka: Nike

Naomi Osaka wore the same red dress in the evenings. The bedazzled lavender jacket looked pretty during the day.

Aryna Sabalenka: Nike

Sabalenka’s silver bomber jacket was giving space-age vibes.

Coco Gauff: New Balance

Meanwhile, Gauff’s leather burgandy varsity jacket looked like an American sports classic.

Best Accessories

Venus Williams: Shaggy Tennis Bag

Leave it to Venus Williams to make fashion out of the senseless. In her opening round match, Williams walked out with a custom-made ERL furry tennis bag.

Naomi Osaka: Billy Jean Bling Labubu

Naomi Osaka showed off two different bedazzled Labubus, including a red one she called “Billy Jean Bling.” The Labubus craze has taken tennis by storm, with several players attaching the furry friends to their tennis bags.
