Didn’t you hear? It’s tennis season - and with the advent of Wimbledon 2025 comes a string of tennis-themed trends to tap into. 

From diamond tennis bracelets to white tennis dresses, Tenniscore is dominating the summer trends cycle. After all, who can resist leaning into tennis attire following Zendaya’s array of sporty-spice outfits in Challengers? 

The same goes for the British beauty radar, of which all-things tennis are reigning supreme at present.

Tennis nails are proving to be especially popular. Coco Gauff has already debuted her 2025 Wimbledon ready nails ahead of her games. This year she's opted for something more neutral with white and cream tones, 3D pearl fixtures and frosted finishes.

The latter are significantly on the up, no doubt due to their kitschy-cute style and picnic-core panache. Not to mention that each year, approximately 27 tons of strawberries and 7,000 litres of cream are reportedly consumed by spectators during the beloved tournament. Hence why the event and the desert go hand-in-hand.

However, other tennis-based trends are starting to emerge. Beauty aficionados are increasingly nodding to the prestigious colours of tennis events, for example sporting purple and green nails in an ode to Wimbledon’s house hues.
