Checking out ellesse apparel
ellesse USA today announced the launch of their Autumn/Winter 2005 tennis line, which includes the high performance, ADV Tennis and more fashion conscience Club Tennis collections. Both collections work well together to provide the consumer with style beyond performance. Read the release here.
WATR loves ellesse...not because of the absorbent prices...but because we're sentimental at heart, and long for the tennis of days past. That vision contains many images of Chris Evert with her steely stare and rock solid groundstrokes, always wearing ellesse (at least as far back as I can remember...).
So we didn't review all the new line, but we did go through the ellesse website and checked out what's there.
On the women's side, we liked the Tiziano striped polo and Parmigianno pleated skirt. Updated classics...one of our favorite looks. And the ADV Rosso top with mercadante skort is one hot look on the right player...
With the men, the ADV Correggio warm-up jacket is nice with a clean look. Tennis whites, when done right can really be striking. The ADV Pellegrino polo and Barocci warm-up pant are also not bad, but we're getting into "overdesigned" territory.
Which leads us to the ADV Maso zip-neck top and Tribolo pull-on short. New fabrics? Great. Funky design with zippers and modern cuts? Also cool. But for crying out loud...and we're talking to everyone here not just ellesse...try and keep things to a 1-2 colors. Take your cues from Nike and Lacoste. Clean is better...and a lot better than looking like a mardi gras costume...
