The best tennis bags aren’t exclusive to those on the grand slam circuit. For many players, half the fun of tennis is the fashion that comes with the sport, from stylish tennis dresses and skirts to bags for toting extras like balls, a towel, a water bottle, and beyond. Sure, you could certainly get away with a sports duffle or roomy gym bag when bringing these essentials to the court. But why not lean into the country club aesthetic in full force by shopping the best tennis brands for a comprehensively thought out look, proper tennis bag, and all?

If you’re an elite player, you’re probably all for shoulder styles that can hold several rackets at once, plus all your other gear, from court-approved sneakers to accessories like a visor and sweatbands. However, you can go the racket cover route on the simpler end of the spectrum. Or, for a bit more carrying space to accommodate a change of clothes, a top-handle bag or backpack with a designated racket pouch or strap will feel perfectly sporty and chic. Like with a yoga mat bag, it’s all about function and figuring out what works best with your aesthetic and lifestyle.
Keep scrolling to discover the best tennis bags that are as practical as they are stylish, from sleek black to options with sporty striped accents and beautifully modern and light iterations crafted of leather and raffia. Plus, customizable styles—who doesn’t love a good monogram?
