Australian Open 2012 Tennis Fashion Day 2: Samantha Stosur

The biggest shock of the second day of the Aussie Open - Samantha Stosur, U.S. Open 2011 champion and one of the tournament favorites lost in the first round to a young Romanian Solana Cirstea just in two sets... We've seen Samantha after U.S. Open just twice, in Brisbane and Sydney, and noticed that she changed her sponsor from Lacoste to Asics.

Wimbledon 2011 Fashion. Day 2: Samantha Stosur's Outfit

Day 2. Samanta Stosur

Who would expect that no. 10 Samantha Stosur would lose in the 1st round... and in just 2 sets?! Not we...

Wearing the same Lacoste dress we saw on Dominika Cibulkova during the Sony Ericcsson Open in Miami, but in white, Samantha isn't the first one who "scandalized" Wimbledon wearing red underpants. Four years ago, another Lacoste sponsored athlete, Tatiana Golovin, shocked British public by wearing red shorties.

Wear This, Not That! 2011 French Open

As the 2011 French Open draws to a close, we again take on the role of “Tennis Fashion Police.” After reviewing this years contenders, here are a few on-court style recommendations based on the ever-important Four C’s of Tennis Fashion: comfort, cut, coordination and color!

WEAR THIS…                    NOT THAT!

 

If you are a “ruffle girl” like Arantxa Rus (top left), we recommend this adorable Adidas adiZero orange tennis tank and pink skirt. The flattering fit and stylish ruffles allow easy on-court movement while ClimaCool® and ForMotion™ technology (along with the internal-compression short) keep Arantxa cool and comfortable on the French clay! In addition, bright colors add pizzazz to any tennis player!

While this pastel-orange tennis dress worn by Magdalena Rybarikova (top right) appears to be fairly comfortable, it is shapeless and unexciting! We recommend a better cut and a brighter color.

WEAR THIS…                    NOT THAT!

If you want to wear shorts, then WEAR SHORTS for goodness sake! Svetlana Kuznetsova (top left) sports a well-cut tennis outfit by Fila - Whiteline Sleeveless Tennis Polo and Essenza Knit Tennis Short that fulfill all four C’s and add a fifth: contrast - and, it suits her athletic persona!

Francesca Schiavone could use a little color (even black) and contrast in addition to a better cut. This “pajama dress” is just too frilly for such an athletic player and obviously not that comfortable, hence the unattractive addition of the compression short. We recommend a sportier look for Francesca and some bright color to accompany her feisty, on-court personality!

WEAR THIS…                    NOT THAT!

While we are not sure if it is Samantha Stosur or fellow Aussie, Rennae Stubbs who is the copycat, our point here is to develop a style that is all your own!
