Don't Forget Your Sun Protection
White tennis skirts beg to be taken outside. Make sure you protect yourself from the sun while sporting your new gear. Consider:
- Long Sleeve Sun Shirts. We love the Waist Length Laguna Women's Sun Shirt for tennis skirts.
- Sunscreen. We love EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen as it has SPF 46, feels great on the skin and does not run into our eyes when we sweat.
- A great visor. We're partial to the de la heart wide brim visor.
