On The Go: Summer rays are no match for Tail’s UFP-repelling, pleated Columbus Skort and Zealea Tank in periwinkle from Naples’ Shecanlove boutique. Paddle & Palm’s white leather-detailed sling makes two-wheeled travel a breeze, and Tory Burch shades complete the sunny look. 

Cross-court Winner: The Pink Pickleball Dress from Paddle & Palm makes for a snappy entrance on and off the court. Below: Made in Fort Myers, COLDEST’s reusable water bottles are engineered to keep drinks chilly for 36 hours. Paddle & Palm’s waterproof Pickleball Tote Bag completes your gear, protecting your essentials from spills, salt spray and surprise rain showers.   

Built for transitional wear, The Everything Dress from Paddle & Palm brightens up the court. The Naples brand’s Pickleball Cane Bag nods to the subtropics with bamboo details, upping the elegance with a Turk & Turk scarf.
