What Should I Wear for My First Padel Session?
If you're new to padel, keep the first session simple. You do not need specialist kit before you know whether the game is going to become part of your week.
Wear a comfortable T-shirt or sports top, shorts or leggings that let you move laterally, suitable court shoes and bring a layer for before and after.
If padel sticks, that is when details such as stretch, pockets, fit and weather layers start to matter more. For the full UK guide, read What to Wear for Padel in the UK.
What top should I wear?
Choose something light enough to move in and comfortable through overheads. AP Club's Padel T-Shirts include court-ready Play tees as well as graphic and cropped options built around the game.
What bottoms should I wear?
Shorts, leggings or a skort can all work. The useful details are freedom of movement, a secure waistband and pockets that actually stay useful during a rally.
Browse Padel Shorts or the Women's Padel collection.
What should I wear before and after?
A hoodie or quarter zip works well when you are arriving cold or cooling down. In wind or rain, a shell is more useful than adding bulk.
See Padel Hoodies for the hours around the game and Padel Layers for British game weather.
The simple first-session kit
T-shirt. Flexible shorts, leggings or skort. Court shoes. Water. One layer.
That is enough to start. The rest can come once the bookings start multiplying.
