๐Ÿซจโ— What to wear to play squash? 8 oddly specific outfits + styling tips <3

Okay bestie, let’s talk about squash—because it’s one of those sports that’s fast, intense, and honestly?

Way more fun than it looks. Whether you’re a total beginner or getting back into it, one thing matters more than your racket: what you wear.

The wrong outfit can restrict your movement, make you overheat, or just feel uncomfortable when you’re lunging across the court.

Here’s everything you need to know so you can focus on the game, not your clothes.

1. Choose Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

 Squash is a high-intensity sport.

You’ll be sweating within minutes, so your clothes need to handle it.

Look for moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester blends, nylon, or spandex.

Avoid cotton—it absorbs sweat, gets heavy, and sticks to your skin.

A good sports top and shorts in technical fabric are your best bet.

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:

Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!

2. Wear a Fitted or Semi-Fitted Top

A loose t-shirt might seem comfortable, but in squash, it can get in the way.

A fitted or semi-fitted sports top keeps everything in place and allows you to move freely.

Look for a sleeveless top, a short-sleeve sports tee, or a tank top in a breathable fabric.

Avoid anything too baggy—it can restrict your movement and get caught when you swing.

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:

Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3

3. Shorts or Skorts Are Ideal

You need full range of motion in your legs, so shorts or skorts are the way to go.

Look for athletic shorts with a bit of stretch and a comfortable waistband. Skorts (shorts with a skirt overlay) are a popular choice for women—they’re practical and cute.

Avoid long pants, jeans, or anything restrictive—you’ll be lunging, squatting, and moving constantly.

Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️

4. Wear Supportive Athletic Shoes

 Footwear is crucial in squash.

You need shoes with good grip, support, and cushioning.

Court shoes are designed specifically for the sport—they have non-marking soles and provide the right balance of grip and slide.

Running shoes aren’t ideal because they have too much tread and can cause you to trip or roll your ankle.

Invest in a good pair of court shoes—your feet and knees will thank you.

Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol

5. Bring a Sweatband or Headband

Squash is sweaty, and sweat in your eyes is distracting.

A sweatband on your wrist or a headband keeps sweat out of your face and hair.

It’s a small accessory that makes a big difference. Plus, it looks sporty and intentional.

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:

Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!

6. Wear Supportive Sports Bra

For women, a supportive sports bra is essential.

Squash involves a lot of quick movements, twisting, and lunging, so you need a bra that keeps everything in place.

Look for a high-impact sports bra that fits well and doesn’t dig in. Your comfort matters—don’t skip this one.

Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Squash is all about movement, speed, and agility.

Your outfit should support that—breathable fabrics, fitted tops, athletic shorts or skorts, supportive court shoes, and minimal jewelry.

Bring a towel and water bottle, and don’t forget a sweatband. Now go crush it on the court. 🎾✨🌸✨
