25 Pickleball Outfits for Women Over 60

Max Kuch

Last updated: August 27, 2026

Pickleball is the reason a lot of women over sixty are playing sport at all again, and the clothing industry has not caught up. Most of what is sold as pickleball wear is cut for a twenty five year old and the rest is shapeless.

What actually works is a proper waistband that sits at the natural waist rather than under it, sleeve coverage if you want it without going full long sleeve, and a skort with a liner that stays put. Support matters more than it did twenty years ago and so does sun coverage on outdoor courts. The modest list covers the modest version, and the golf edit the same age bracket in a different sport.

A skort that sits at the waist rather than the hip changes how everything else fits. Our guide to the best sports apparel covers what else is worth having.

Long Sleeve Sun Top with a Skort Save

#6: Long Sleeve Sun Top with a Skort

Sage Set with a Longer Top Save

#7: Sage Set with a Longer Top

A sage coordinated set with a longer top. The longer hem covers the hip through lateral movement, which is where most tops fail.

White Skort with a Lilac Top Save

#10: White Skort with a Lilac Top

Zip Neck Top with a Skort Save

#11: Zip Neck Top with a Skort

A zip neck top with a skort. The zip cools the neck without removing anything, which matters in a hall with no airflow.

Burgundy Top with Black Capris Save

#12: Burgundy Top with Black Capris

A burgundy top with black capris. Deeper colour above than the usual brights and it reads as considered rather than sporty.

Skort with Supportive Layers Save

#13: Skort with Supportive Layers

A skort with a properly supportive top layer. Support matters more now and it is worth spending on before anything else in the outfit.

Visor with a Neutral Outfit Save

#15: Visor with a Neutral Outfit

A visor with a neutral outfit. Cooler than a cap because heat escapes through the top, and it keeps glare off outdoors.

Olive Skort with a White Top Save

#16: Olive Skort with a White Top

An olive skort with a white top. Olive hides indoor court dust and it is a more interesting neutral than black or navy.

A light track jacket over a tank. Warm up layer for a cold hall, and it comes off without disturbing anything underneath.

Printed Skort with a Plain Top Save

#18: Printed Skort with a Plain Top

A printed skort with a plain top. Pattern below, quiet above, which is the rule in every racket sport and gets broken constantly.

Navy Capris with a Striped Top Save

#19: Navy Capris with a Striped Top

Navy capris with a striped top. Stripes are the safest pattern there is and they never look like an attempt at anything.

White Set for Outdoor Play Save

#20: White Set for Outdoor Play

A white top with a white skort. Coolest option outdoors by a clear margin and it looks crisp under bright light.

Grey Capris with a Teal Top Save

#21: Grey Capris with a Teal Top

Grey capris with a teal top. Teal is the colour nobody else in the group will have and it flatters more than a bright blue.

Skort with Compression Shorts Save

#22: Skort with Compression Shorts

A skort with proper compression shorts underneath. No chafe, no riding up, and it is what makes a two hour session comfortable.

Pale Blue Polo with a White Skort Save

#23: Pale Blue Polo with a White Skort

A pale blue polo with a white skort. The most classic pairing here and the one that suits a club setting rather than a public court.

Layered Set for a Cold Hall Save

#24: Layered Set for a Cold Hall

A long sleeve base under a top with capris. Halls in winter are cold for the first fifteen minutes and warm for the rest.

#25: The Two Skort Wardrobe
