With warmer temps finally arriving, pickleball season is officially here. The perfect way to celebrate the game’s prime playing season? Lululemon’s new pickleball collection, which will perfectly complement your pickleball equipment.
Not only is pickleball the sport of the season but it’s quickly becoming a favorite way to get your fitness on year-round. While the tennis-like game is said to have gained popularity during the pandemic because of the social distancing built into the game’s structure (especially if you’re playing singles), it’s still going strong today. There are so many reasons to hop on the pickleball bandwagon: It’s fairly easy to learn, it’s a low-impact exercise and it’s not overly competitive. Not to mention more and more athleisure brands have been creating chic gear to sport on the court that’ll motivate you to pick up a paddle.
Most recently, Lululemon has developed an entire line inspired by the sport. Whether you’re searching for the perfectly preppy outfit to rock during your next game or simply want to look like a pro pickleball player while running errands, the collection is worth a look. Out of more than 100 items to shop for both men and women, here are the 13 best pieces to grab from Lululemon’s new pickleball collection before they sell out.
Lululemon pickleball dresses
This sporty dress has so much going for it — namely a classic scoop neck to let the breeze in, a preppy pleated skirt and a built-in bra for extra support while you serve both the ball and some serious looks.

Similar to its pleated counterpart, this high-rise skirt features drop-in pockets at the liner to allow you to go hands-free. Like its silicone grippers that keep the built-in shorts in place, its continuous drawcord prevents the waistline from riding down.
