Nike's new swim collection can be worn both in and out of the pool

If you're looking for new workout clothes to wear in the summer, the official Wimbledon merchandise has just dropped. And with the Euros 2024 kicking off in Germany, Wimbledon and the Paris Olympics next month, there are many cool trends we can tap into and get you motivated.

The "Tenniscore" trend is staying strong since Zendaya showed up at press events in gorgeous tennis-themed dresses and co-ords while promoting the movie Challengers. Think pleated skirts and varsity jackets, sophisticated enough to wear in and out of the gym.

The esteemed All England Lawn Tennis Club recently unveiled their highly-anticipated 2024 Wimbledon Retail Collection - and it's perfect for helping you embrace the tennis core look while athletic fashion brands like Lululemon also served some eye-catching looks on and off the court. This Wimbledon Piqué Sleeveless Polo Shirt is one of 90 pieces made, featuring a timeless collar with green stripes and moisture-wicking fabric to help keep you cool and comfortable.

A varsity jacket is the perfect outerwear piece to throw on when the weather gets chilly.

A pleated skirt like this lululemon Varsity High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt (which comes with built-in shorts) goes well with their new Bend This Scoop and Cross Bra, £38, if you want to go hit the court this summer. Or you can take a full tennis dress like Alo Yoga's Charmed Tennis Dress, £120. It features a polo collar and a racerback design with a skirt length sitting at a flattering mid-thigh.

Meanwhile, gents can opt for a sweat-wicking polo shirt such as this Vuori Strato Tech Polo, £65, with one 5-star customer saying: "Looks great, casual summer look and it can be worn for tennis too." That can match Lululemon ABC Classic Fit Shorts Warpstreme, £78, for a weekend "tennis club member" impression, it has the chinos look but without the stretch comfort of sport shorts.

Exercising in hot weather can be tough so getting your gear in lightweight materials help when you sweat, New Balance's Athletics Graphic Packable Jacket is light as air and it can be packed into a crossbody bag. It's currently on sale at £57. The Hotty Hot Lined Shorts (from £29) for women and the Pace Breaker Linerless Shorts (from £24) for men are made of quick-drying material to keep you abreeze.

They are comfortable yet functional with hidden zipped pockets in a variety of lengths - so you can wear them for a gym workout or take it to a trek in the countryside no matter where your summer adventures take you.
