🎾Sip, Serve & Slay: Your Ultimate Spring Social Survival Guide 🎉

From the brunch court to the pickle court—how to ace the season in style.

Spring is here, and with it comes a social calendar so stacked, your iPhone is begging for a breather. Garden parties. Mimosa brunches. Outdoor concerts. And of course—tennis mixers and pickleball throwdowns that feel more like fashion week than friendly competition.

Whether you’re volleying for a win or a waffle, here’s how to show up and stand out—without overplaying your hand.

🎯 GUEST ETIQUETTE: Wear This, Not That

✅ DO:

• Serve Looks, Literally:

Ladies, channel “center court couture” with White House Black Market’s Spring 2025 capsule—think crisp whites, pleated skirts, soft pastels, and blazers that go from brunch to backhand in a flash.

Gents, Eleventy’s Spring 2025 line at Malouf’s Southlake is a masterclass in effortless Italian elegance. Their lightweight knits, stretch trousers, and luxe polos whisper “country club,” without shouting, “I own it.”

• Athleisure Luxe: If your social life includes a few post-pickle spritzers or après-tennis tapas, make sure your look says “I may or may not have just won my match.”

• Court-Ready Accessories: Sporty chic sunglasses, a performance hat, or even a branded towel (hello, TAG merch) say “I’m here to hydrate and dominate.”

❌ DON’T:

• Overdo the Sporty: It’s a garden party, not a Grand Slam. Leave the sweatbands at home—unless you’re playing, and even then, consider coordinating with your outfit.

• Court Shoes on the Lawn: Clay, grass, or gravel—none of them pair well with neon soles and aggressive traction.

• Ignore the Forecast: If it’s pushing 80 and humid, save the black long sleeve zip-up for October.

🏡 HOSTING: Do This, Not That

✅ DO:

• Host a “Pimms & Pickle” Event: Combine casual doubles with a bubbly cocktail bar. Bonus points for a Wimbledon-style dress code.

• Tennis Brunch Vibes: Set up shaded seating courtside with light bites (fruit skewers, cucumber sandwiches, protein balls), and serve chilled rosé like the match depends on it.

• Playful Themes: “Wimbledon Whites,” “French Open Floral,” or “Rally & Rosé” are just a few ways to make your gathering aesthetic and athletic.

❌ DON’T:

• Forget the Non-Players: Not everyone’s ready to dive into a rally—offer shaded seating, drinks, and a few games (cornhole, anyone?) for the sidelines squad.

• Serve Stale Snacks: If your charcuterie isn’t spring fresh with vibrant produce and herbed cheeses… we’re judging. Lovingly.
