Tennis Clothes From a Set of Stylish New Brands

For the dad who seeks out a court wherever he goes, there’s a fresh wave of tennis apparel to choose from. In New York, many of those brands can be found at Pro Shop NYC, a pop-up founded earlier this year by the artist and former collegiate player Vicente Muñoz. From June 4 to July 16, Pro Shop will be open in SoHo, offering apparel and gear in a clubhouse-like setting where you can also get your racket restrung and watch professional matches. Among Muñoz’s favorite items to gift is a pair of tailored shorts from Spence, a label that debuted last year and aims to marry performance with polished design. “They nailed both the seam length and material, a lightweight stretch taffeta,” says Muñoz. For those who prefer a pattern, a convertible pant in a batik print from the Japanese company Setinn recalls a ’90s Andre Agassi look, while the plaid shorts from the Boston-based brand Outside Lines channel the effortless cool of Pete Sampras (or a cheeky Josh O’Connor in “Challengers”). Muñoz also recommends a cotton silk-screened tee from the Danish brand Palmes, known for its playful graphics, or a vintage Fila cutoff shirt that, he says, “will unleash your inner Lorenzo Musetti.” For extra points, gift a tennis-obsessed dad Open Tennis magazine, a new title from the Racquet co-founder David Shaftel. The second issue, out next week, includes a profile of the coach best known by his Instagram handle, Tennis God, along with a photo spread of the clay courts at the Tennis Club Marfisa D’Este in Ferrara, Italy, that were once frequented by the filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni and the author Giorgio Bassani, who made the club a key setting in his 1962 novel, “The Garden of the Finzi-Continis.”
