Classic crop and shorts

If you're a less-is-more kind of person, you can't go wrong with some neutral basics when you hit the pickleball court. In fact, basic doesn't have to be boring. Grab a cute, cropped sports bra or tank in a solid color and wear it with a contrasting pair of solid-color shorts and a matching visor for a classic look that works both on and off the court.
