If you’re anything like me, you have never heard of pickleball. However, recently it’s been brought to my attention that it’s an incredibly popular sport, and I suddenly can’t escape pickleball content. I’ve suddenly found myself obsessed with the “popular” summertime tennis/ping-pong hybrid sport – or at least the sporty-core trends that come with it. While I probably won’t be joining my local pickleball league anytime soon, I’ve compiled a list of some of the perfect pickleball necessities and accessories. Whether you’re a fan of the sport or want to look cute on the side of the court, there’s something on this list for you.
Superga – 2740 Platform Slip-On Sneakers $79
These are the perfect sneaker to wear on the pickleball court and the cutest summer sneaker to complete any sporty-core look. The 2740 Platform Slip-On comes in 7 colorways, and it’s hard to resist buying them all. You don’t have to limit yourself to just wearing these while playing a sport; I promise you’ll be reaching for these when you just want a neutral, comfy, trendy shoe to go anywhere.
Superga – 2402 Mule Sneaker $69
Superga’s Mule Sneaker is a cute spin on the classic tennis shoe style that morphs comfort and convenience into one. The 2402 Mule Sneaker comes in 5 neutral colors that’ll go with all your tennis/ pickleball core wear.
JOJA – Topspin Sports Bra $37.50
You will need a good sports bra if you plan to go full-throttle sports vibe. JOJA’s Topspin sports bra from their gymnasium collection is a must-have. These sports bras come with all the comfort and support you could ever need.
These leggings are also from the JOJA Gymnasium collection. These leggings are made to move in; they offer support and sculpt the leg while offering a simple classic design that look good on and off the court.

Montce – Long Sleeve Button-Down Shirt $79
A good long sleeve button-down goes a long way and is another summer staple piece that can easily be incorporated into any sporty trend. This Montce button-down is perfect to throw on after you crush someone in a pickleball match or just to mosey around the courts after hours.
Lele Sadoughi- Bow Tie Visor $65
These Lele Sadoughi Visors are fun, sporty, and give that extra protection from the sun. These come in 3 different colors, and if you have no plan of diving into the pickleball rabbit hole with me, I still think this is a fun summer must-have.

After a long day on the court, one just wants to be cozy! That is why we highly recommend PJ Place’s Pajamas and loungewear! Fun fact: Alex Earle was spotted celebrating her graduation from the University of Miami Friday night in PJ Place’s Champagne Modal Pajamas. She uploaded a video to TikTok of her wearing the matching set. The influencer and trendsetter ditched her sky-high heels and party dress and opted to dance the night away with family and friends in the most comfortable outfit.
