I have black Nike tennis shorts. I love them not just for tennis, they are just the right length (not too long, an inch or two above the knees) and I love the pockets for when I need my keys/wallet/phone at the gym or quick stop to the grocery down the block. I would play shirtless if it were allowed, but I just wear a white hanes tshirt with them, or an old T with the sleeves and sides cut off.

The Barricade line is the best thing to happen to tennis shoes. My sticks right now are ooold school Sampras Pro Stafs 85/90.

... Tennis specific shorts and any shirt.

I'm actually a bit compulsive about tennis wear, as I am about my office pants and other office clothing. - I only wear polo shirts, never a tee shirt. - I only wear no-show socks. I hate for any of my sock to show. - I only wear white shoes. A bit of color is fine, but the predominant color should be white. I hate the look of black or dark blue (or, god forbid, other colors). I tend to prefer Adidas stuff because I like that their patterns/designs are relatively simple (e.g. large blocks of colors) and achieved through sewn panels of materials, vs. prints. I hate the printed patterns you see on a lot of Nike and other stuff. I have a white cotton mock-neck half-zip sweater that I love to wear for my apres-tennis. It's very country club. I prefer a medium-length to slightly shorter short. Obviously not ball-huggers, but I tend to dislike the shorts that come down and hit at the knee or slightly below. And I hate the Nadal capris - though I like Nadal, I think anyone who wears those as a rec player is a total tool. Tennis is a gentleman's game, and you should look like a gentleman when you play.

Respectfully (like a gentleman) disagree

Usually Asics Gel Resolution shoes and some dri-fit shirt and shorts. Most of those I have are made by Nike or Adidas. If it's hot out and I want a tan I go shirtless.

LOL @ all these tennis dress rules. But I shouldn't be surprised, considering it's SF.

Adidas and Nike for tennis gear. Both make good stuff. Adidas Barricades are the shit. I've had like 5 pairs of Barricade II's. The II's hold up better than the III and IV do. And you gotta wear long socks. Not like over the calf, but not no-show or ankle socks or some bullshit like that. When I was playing college tennis (2 years ag) and we saw that we would be playing against someone who wasn't wearing crew socks, we knew it'd be a free win.
