Tennis. All you need is a racket, a ball, a court and a playing partner. But not if you want to start playing seriously. Sure – for a knock about at the park where what you like but tennis club rules are a different kettle of fish.
Thinking of becoming a member of your local club? Expect to find rules like this:
1) Tennis shoes must be worn.
2) Shoe tags must be worn by members.
3) Sports clothing must be worn.
Sports clothing is often defined as tennis whites – tennis shorts, white polo shirt and white socks. Lycra, rugby / football shirts and vest are a definitely no-no.
Of course, some courts are starting to relax their attitude to clothing but this is still a very traditional game and many clubs are eager to maintain their professional image.

Finding the perfect skirt is always a difficult task and sometimes can prove disastrous. There are so many different types of skirt to choose from that just opting for jeans can seem like the easy route out of any dilemmas but shying away from skirts will deplete your options when it comes to what to wear. The easiest way to shop for skirts is to know the right skirt length for your leg:
For ladies with long, toned legs then a mini is the best option. If you have big thighs and skinny calves then opting for a knee length skirt will give the illusion that your legs are slim all the way up to the top. For the smaller more petite ladies out there, wearing a mid length skirt will maximise the look of your leg length without making you look anyway out of proportion. Ladies with no curves should go for a tulip skirt to give volume to their hips whereas the curvy girls should go for pencil or an A line skirts that skim the hip and flair out at the knee.
Wearing different tops with your skirts will create different outfits that can be worn over a couple of different seasons such as a floral skirt worn with a colourful cardigan and heels is great for spring but could be worn with a polo top and sandals in the summer. Maximising your skirts life is a great idea to get as many possible different looks from it.
Shopping online for great deals on skirts is the best way to shop as the credit crunch worsens. There are many great online shops that can help you complete the perfect look, Roman Originals has a great range of long skirts on sale as well as offering an evening wear range. If you’re looking for more of a designer approach to skirts then Koodos.com is a great place to start.
Wearing the right footwear with your skirt can drastically change your look entirely; wearing a pair of sandals instead of short heels can change business dress into a more fun affair. Accessorising with funky or stylish belts can complete that perfect stylish look that gets you the attention and compliments you deserve.
Once you have the knowhow on buying skirts that will look great on you then you can diversify your wardrobe and enjoy a richer variety of outfits and start to become more adventurous.
