The Coordination Equation: Style + Comfort = Perfection
Let’s talk practicality. Twinning is winning, but not if you're sweating like a waterfall or itching like you hugged a cactus. Comfort is king, or in this case, the doubles partner to style. Our blog on fashion tips for the pickleball enthusiast dives deep into blending comfort with killer looks.
- Fabric: Opt for breathable materials.
- Fit: Not too tight, not too loose. Goldilocks it!
- Function: Pockets? Yes, please!
Rules of the Twinning Game: What’s Allowed, What’s Not
Ah, the age-old question: how matchy-matchy is too matchy-matchy? Walk into a court looking like Siamese twins, and you may catch a few awkward glances. But strike the right balance, and you'll be the power couple of pickleball.
- In: Coordinated Colors - Your outfits can be identical in color but different in design.
- Out: Carbon Copies - Wearing the exact same outfit head-to-toe might be overkill.
- In: Matching Accessories - Think headbands, wristbands, or even matching paddles.
- Out: Identical Shoes - Shoes should suit individual needs, especially when it comes to support and grip.
The Rule of Thumb
Think of yourselves as two different notes in the same chord. Harmonize, don't echo.
