Pickleball is such a fun sport to be enjoyed year round. You don’t have to stop dinking just because it gets cold outside. Rather, upgrade your gear for all types of cold weather. However, you need different layers for when it starts to gets cool, when it gets cold, and when you are literally ‘freezing’. Here I break it down with layering hacks and court essential outfits you can use when it starts to get chilly.
What to look for in cold weather pickleball gear
- Ability to mix and match
- Consider the level of cold – it is slightly cool? or freezing? Wear accordingly
- Materials that add warmth while allowing you to maintain agility
- Pieces that can be layered – think Tees, jackets, vests
- Items that keep your head warm – pieces with hoods, caps
- Outfit staples that can be shed easily if you start to heat up
- Items that are functional yet still cute and stylish
- Available in winter or holiday colors you like
If its just starting to get cool
A lightweight zippered workout jacket

Have a lightweight jacket over a tank top or athletic t-shirt for cool days. That way if you get warm you can shed this layer. Wear them over leggings on a cute pickleball skirt if it is still just cooling down. Love this holiday red or choose a different color.
A quarter zip long sleeve pullover

A quarter zip is always so sporty. Consider layering it over a T-shirt so you can shed the layer if needed. I love the winter white but you can pick another color by clicking here.
