When it comes to playing padel, what you wear and the accessories you bring to the match can be a game-changer. From padel shoes to padded jackets, as a fashion editor there’s a lot of cool brands that are making me hot under the collar right now. And if you want to step out in style, I have you covered. From brands that are big hitters to new and emerging small businesses making noise in the padel industry, here’s my guide to some of the names smashing it.
Oldan Padel
This family-run padel business launched in 2023 and sells beautifully crafted padel racquets and clothes. With a mission to elevate the padel experience by providing players with premium, timeless designs that blend classic elegance with cutting-edge performance, it has really carved out a name for itself in a very short amount of time.
The Vesper, £150
Selecting the right padel racket is crucial for optimizing your performance and maximizing your enjoyment. As a padel beginner I started off with a budget-friendly round racket but once I introduced the Vesper in to my game, I found it really enhanced my play. Not only does it look aesthetically pleasing in the hand, and feel nice to hold, but the teardrop shape offers a lot more power than my original rounded one. (As an additional note, players who look for a good balance between speed and control should opt for a teardrop-shaped padel racket).
The Vesper also has a middle sweet spot (the sweet spot on a padel racket is the point of the head that will give your strikes the most power), which has really upped my game as it gives me better control when I am hitting the ball.

Heritage Crew, £70
This crew top, which comes in green and white, has a really cool retro look to it and is the perfect blend of comfort and style. As someone who plays padel outdoors, and also indoors where the air-con makes me chilly, this sweatshirt is perfect in keeping my body temperature up, without overheating. I love the oversize feel of it, which is very on trend right now, and the fabric that offers warmth without sacrificing breathability.

Court Club
This newly launched padel athleisure brand, set up by two friends who met on the tennis court, is one to watch. With their Court Club sweatshirt constantly sold out (and restocked), there is a lot of love out there for this brand, and I am a huge fan. Simple, yet thoughtfully designed products that you can wear both on and off the padel court is a winner in my eyes as it means busy mums like myself don’t have to worry about doing the school run/dog walk and then having to get changed in to our padel gear.
The Court Club Sweatshirt, £59
I love this sweatshirt so much that I have it in both faded grey and faded black (there is also a bone colour). A unisex top that has an oversize fit, it feels super soft and comfortable on. I really like the little logo on the cuff of the sleeve that says LOVE THE GAME – as I do! What’s more, it is made from a sustainable and breathable fabric that keeps you feeling cool, even when things are heating up at the net.

Bandeja Lifestyle
Another new padel-inspired sportswear brand, which was set up two months ago, has been hitting it off with players. The premium lifestyle brand knows all about why layering up is so important when it comes to padel. With its hoodie being an instant sell-out, followed by the recent launch of the playing tees, the collection is ideal for players who want to look stylish, whilst upping their performance, during a match.
Hoodie Rear Print, £50
This is a perfect hoodie for me as it’s WE ARE PADEL logo on the back sums up the community aspect of the sport which I love; a combined passion for the game. The soft material keeps me cosy if I am warming up before a match or playing outside and, as someone who always forgets to wear leggings with pockets, this has enough space to hold the balls in its cleverly designed front pouch.

The Bandeja tee, £30
Available in vanilla, charcoal and mint blue, this T-shirt is made from a high-quality, breathable fabric for ultimate comfort. It’s the perfect padel top as, even when I sweat, it remains dry and has enough air flow to keep you cool. Every time I wear this top for padel, people compliment it.

Palair
The attention to detail that goes in to every single product Palair sells is second to none. Founded last November by businesswoman and padel player Sarah Horrocks, the brand has filled the gap in serving up luxury padel wear. As a premium label, the collection is made with precision using intricate design elements and incredible fabrics that not only look super stylish but are moisture wicking, breathable and quick drying too.
Power Hybrid vest, £250
This is the nicest sleeveless jacket I have ever seen and provides the perfect layer for a game of padel. Thanks to clever contouring, it sculpts the body to give an extra layer of style, elegance and chic comfort. This is one item of clothing I’ll be wearing on repeat as it is so versatile and looks effortlessly cool.

Airskin Hood Jacket, £175
This beautifully made hooded jacket elevates your game to another level with second skin athleticism. When I wear this to play padel I love the snug fit as the Airskin is crafted from powerful compression fabric that holds form with every move. Distinctive coated zips deliver free flowing functionality alongside 3D icon logos and heat bond stealth stripes. The hand hugging power cuffs feature integrated thumb holes to complete the look.

Wilson
I didn’t realise the importance of padel shoes until fairly recently. And, having unfortunately witnessed a few calf and ligament injuries from fellow players in normal trainers, I have realised how wearing the correct shoes makes a lot of difference. Although a lot of the well-known sports brands sell shoes designed for padel, I highly recommend these Wilson ones.
Hurakn Pro Women’s Padel Shoe, £84
I suffer from corns, blisters and plantar fasciitis, but these shoes give me no trouble at all. In fact, I am pretty sure they have elevated my game. They are designed to offer lateral support, protecting your ankles from sprains and other injuries, and come with shock-absorbing soles that reduce impact and help prevent injuries.

Name that ball
As the name suggests, this company sells personalised padel balls that not only add an element of fun to your game, but can make your logo or business stand out if you are hosting a corporate event. The padel balls are designed to meet the highest standards of playability, bounce, and durability, ensuring that every match is played with professional-grade equipment.
I love taking my personalized padel balls to a match; if anything it breaks the ice when playing with a partner I don’t know!

Pulco Studio
Another recently launched brand, PULCO is one of the most beautifully and cleverly designed fashion collections I have ever come across. It is not only super stylish but as the first Padel technical apparel brand, it is made from a very lightweight Italian-made fabric that uses a specially constructed weave to wick sweat from the inside to the outside of the body where it dries quickly. As a result, the clothes do not cling to the body and grow softer and more comfortable over time. The Aircon fabric is a breakthrough material that keeps sweat marks at bay and doesn’t cling to the skin.
The range consists of a number of state-of-the-art products including its Aircon Playing Shirts, available in white and black, Matrix Playing Shirts, Stowaway Hoodies, Cotton T-shirts, Padel Shorts and a sweatshirt.
Stowaway Hoodie Light Grey, £125.00
Perfect for both on and off the court, this hoodie feels so lightweight to wear, you hardly notice you have anything on. Yet, despite that, the clever fabric is designed with thermal properties that keep you heated in cold conditions, but allows the body to breathe and stay cool in warmer weather. I normally go on court with layers on, that I slowly peel away as I warm up, but I love how this top adapts to your bodies temperature and so there is no need to stop play to remove clothing.

Women’s Aircon Tank Top, £85.00
I have been wearing this top on repeat as it feels so nice. Although it hugs my body, it doesn’t cling and due to the clever technical fabric, even when I sweat I feel dry. I also love the fact that it doesn’t shrink or fade when washed; in fact it feels softer and softer against the skin the more I wear it.
