At inPhorm, we know that choosing the right activewear isn’t just about style—it’s about performance, sustainability, and finding pieces that align with your values. If you’ve ever wondered, “What’s the difference between a golf skirt and a tennis skirt?” or “Which one is right for me?”, you’re in the right place.
As a sustainable activewear brand trusted by athletes at Wimbledon and the US Open, we’re breaking down the key features of both styles, plus sharing tips to help you make an eco-conscious choice.
Golf Skirt vs Tennis Skirt: What’s the Difference?
While both skirts are designed for sports, their features cater to unique needs. Here’s how they compare:
1. Length & Silhouette
-
Golf Skirt:
-
Typically knee-length or midi (18-22 inches) for modesty during swings and bends.
-
A-line cut to allow freedom of movement on the course.
-
Example: Our Signature Pleated Golf Skirt pairs a classic silhouette with recycled polyester for a polished look.
-
Tennis Skirt:
-
Shorter length (14-16 inches) for agility and quick lateral movements.
-
Flared skort design with built-in shorts to prevent wardrobe malfunctions during serves.
Sustainability Note: Both styles use recycled polyester—diverting plastic bottles from landfills while keeping you cool.
2. Fabric & Functionality
-
Golf Skirt:
-
Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric for all-day wear (perfect for 18 holes or post-game lunches).
-
Moisture-wicking technology to handle sweat without sacrificing style.
-
Tennis Skirt:
-
Ultra-breathable, stretchy material for explosive movements.
-
UPF 50+ sun protection for outdoor matches.
Pro Tip from Saad Hajidin:
“Our skirts are dyed using water-saving dry dye tech—whether you’re on the court or course, you’re supporting a greener planet.”
