Why Manmade Fabrics Are the Secret Weapon for Tennis Apparel — and Better for the Planet
At Love Love Tennis, we believe the fabric you choose makes or breaks your performance — and your wardrobe. After years of trial and error, I can confidently say: manmade textiles are hands-down better for tennis (and the environment) than natural fabrics like cotton or silk. Here’s why.
1. Performance That Moves With You
Tennis demands quick pivots, powerful serves, and full-on sprints. You need fabrics that support, compress, and recover — without stretching out or sagging.
✅ Manmade fabrics (like our custom blend) offer stretch and shape retention.
❌ Natural fabrics stretch, sag, and never fully bounce back — especially after sweating.
2. Bye Bye Sweat Stink
This one’s huge. Sweat itself doesn’t stink — bacteria does. Natural fabrics hold onto moisture and breed bacteria, which = odor disaster.
✅ Our manmade fabrics wick sweat and dry fast.
✅ Some synthetics even have antimicrobial technology.
❌ Natural fabrics like cotton and silk trap bacteria — and the smell sticks.
3. Durability = Real Sustainability
The most eco-friendly clothes are the ones you don’t throw away. My court-to-cocktails dresses from 10+ years ago still look brand new — thanks to our fabric.
✅ No fading, pilling, shrinking, or stretching.
✅ Long-lasting means less waste, fewer replacements, and lower impact.
❌ Natural fabrics break down faster, sending more to landfills.
4. Bugs & Moths Love Natural Fabrics — Not Ours
Silk, wool, and cotton are basically a buffet for moths and silverfish. Our fabrics? Not tasty at all.
✅ Store it, wear it, love it — no holes in sight.
5. Luxury That Lasts
You deserve apparel that feels amazing and performs like a pro.
✅ Our silky-smooth fabric keeps its luxe feel and vibrant color wash after wash.
✅ From court to cocktails, these pieces are heirloom quality — made to be passed down.
Bottom Line: If you want your tennis wardrobe to perform, last, and actually be sustainable — invest in the right manmade fabrics. At Love Love Tennis, we spent two years finding the perfect one — and we’re never going back.
