How has tennis clothing changed since the 1900s?

Answer 1

Tennis fashion in the 1900's consisted of full-length pants and long-sleeved shirts for men, while women wore blouses and skirts that covered their arms and legs, and, in some cases, even their necks, wrists, and ankles. Although sneakers were available, many people wore shoes. Over the years, the clothing and shoes became lighter and shorter to suit the demanding needs of the professional tennis player.
