Celine Is Serving Up Some Heat—On and Off the Courts
Celine is ahead of the game this season as it debuts its Tennis Capsule Collection to channel the inner pro
Tennis is arguably one of the chicest sports to play. With skirts, visors, and mini-dresses bouncing throughout the court, you don’t even have to play the sport to love its aesthetic. It’s airy, dainty, a tad nostalgic, and squeaky clean-cut. Celine is ahead of the game this season as it debuts its Tennis Capsule Collection to channel the inner pro.
Country club couture seems to be the words uttered from the lips of the French luxury giant. And what could be more fitting than ready-to-wear sets? In phosphorescent white, navy blue, and maraschino red—these sets exclaim off-duty luxury. Whether worn on your next holiday in St. Tropez or the Hamptons, they can be mixed and matched to shrink that luggage—without compromising an ounce of style.
Pinstripes and mesh spill over the collection, while collars are sharpened to preppy peaks. That’s not all. The house dishes out enduring staples for those with an affinity for classics. What would be more classic than a little denim in a summer capsule collection? The eternally coveted denim jacket returns—this time with a new companion. Perhaps one of Celine’s essential staples this season is its denim mini skirt. You’re probably thinking: What makes this denim skirt different?
Take a closer look. With gold-toned hardware accentuating the hips with the house’s iconic Triomphe logo sparkling in the sunlight, this skirt offers a subtle take on logomania.
Accessories follow the spirit of the sport as the house welcomes a new tennis bag. This isn’t your dad’s tennis bag. Wrapped up in a sheet of luxurious cream canvas and traced in supple, tan calfskin, Celine’s Tennis Drawstring Bag is a token of elevated sportswear. All topped off with the house’s insignia, this bag offers a chic solution to storing your equipment on the court.
In the more literal sense, tennis racquet sets also enter the scene. Crafted in canvas and calfskin, tennis racquets take on a very Celinean tone as the house’s Triomphe multiplies throughout.
For Après sportswear, ready-to-wear bags get drenched in logomania as the Ava, Besace, Couffin, Triomphe, Vanity Case, and camera shoulder bags reinterpret the house’s classic print in multi-color variations. There’re visors, baseball caps, and belts in Triomphe canvas and smooth calfskin, too, to bring a dash of that on-court zeal to the everyday.
Trainers in whopping platforms—either low-top or high-top—seal the look with statement. For those who prefer a more laid-back alternative to their footwear, Celine also offers trainers with black curvilinear accents—minus the extra height. You can wear Celine’s latest collection during a match of singles, doubles, or just courtside—you decide.
Celine’s Tennis Capsule Collection launches online and in Celine stores on March 24th.
