Known for raising the bar in sports fashion, this year’s event in San Clemente, California featured pros standing out with stylish and coordinated outfits.
Fashion Highlights from the Court
With every tournament, pickleball pros keep leveling up their fashion game. At this event, players mixed classic gear with bold new choices in color, patterns, and accessories.
Tyra Hurricane Black

Catherine Parenteau
Catherine Parenteau wore an all-white look. She paired a high-slit white dress, similar to ones from Beyond Yoga, with all-white gear: shoes, socks, hat, and sweatband. Even her black and white Selkirk paddle matched her outfit.

Christian Alshon wore Mizuno gear in black and red patterns. He added a matching black and red hat from Paddletek. One detail that didn’t match was his compression sleeve.
