Loup’s tantalising tennis wear

Prices: From $58- $97

Stockists: www.louponline.com ^[1]

New York based Loup is a breath of fresh air for the tennis world. Now in its second season this small collection of super sweet tennis and workout wear boasts looser fits and modern silhouettes.

The functional easy care fabrics are wrinkle-resistant, breathable and durable. But the real reason we love this brand is for its attention to small stylish details not often seen in sportswear such as ruffles and pin tuck accents. It’s currently only available in store in the US, but you can buy online on their website which will ship to the UK.

Geox Golf’s footwear collection

Prices: From £99

Stockists: www.geox.com/golf ^[2]

Golfing fans understand the importance of breathable footwear, and so do award winning Italian company Geox, who have designed a new golfing footwear collection featuring their new NET system. This new technology consists of a net combined with a waterproof breathable membrane, which allows the foot to breathe whilst keeping the feet completely dry.

We at Sportsister love the Geox Fusion Line, since they are designed to be worn on and off the green, but the Geox ProTech Line is perfect for technology lovers, with its advanced Proflex spike by Trisport®. Whatever your taste, the range will have something for you.
