This preppy knit dress is made to be worn just as often off the court as on. Carson Light owns it and shares with Glamour that because the material is on the thicker side, it doesn’t ride up—one reason why she loves it. She does offer up a warning if you do plan on playing in it though: It doesn’t have built-in shorts, so you may want to add your own under it. That hasn’t stopped her from wearing it on repeat. “I feel like I've discovered the perfect ‘everything dress.’ The material is so flattering and I have gotten so many compliments on it,” she says.
