Who said you had to sacrifice style or environmental commitment to play great padel? These days, it’s easier than ever to find sportswear that helps you perform your best on the court, keeps you comfortable, and also protects the planet. In this post, we’ll show you the 5 must-have pieces of women’s padel clothing you need in your wardrobe – focused on sustainability, functionality, and style.
What to consider when choosing women’s padel clothing
Choosing your padel outfit shouldn’t be just about the design. There are other key factors that make the difference between a comfortable game and one that’s awkward – or even injury-prone. Here’s what to look for.
Sustainable fabrics that support your game
Sustainability is no longer a trend – it’s a necessity. Opting for recycled or low-impact materials, such as recycled polyester, organic cotton, or TENCEL™ fiber, helps reduce your environmental footprint while providing the stretch, lightness, and durability needed for padel’s fast and precise movements.
Comfort and breathability come first
When you're on the court, you need clothing that moves with you and keeps you dry throughout the game. Look for garments with quick-drying technology, flat seams and no internal panels that can chafe or irritate your skin.
Style and functionality for every match
Women’s padel clothing has come a long way. Today, you’ll find modern and versatile designs that let you play comfortably and look great before, during, and after your match. And if it’s eco-friendly too? Even better!
The 5 must-have pieces of women’s padel clothing
Let’s get to the point: if you want a functional, sustainable wardrobe ready for any match, these are the key items.
1.Skirt or technical shorts: freedom and freshness in every move
A good skirt or technical shorts will allow you to move freely without worrying about chafing or discomfort.
Look for designs with recycled or biodegradable fabrics, adjustable elastic waistbands and inner tights. At Ecoalf, for example, you'll find options made from regenerated nylon from fishing nets – a functional and responsible choice.
2. Sports top or T-shirt: support and ventilation
Your upper layer is essential for maintaining optimal body temperature during play.
Look for T-shirts that combine recycled polyester and elastane for a breathable, comfortable fit. Designs with racerbacks or mesh panels allow air to circulate. Ecoalf uses materials such as SEAQUAL®, which recycles marine plastic waste.
3. Sports bra: a must for comfort on court
Not all women need the same level of support, but we all need to feel secure when moving.
Choose a sports bra with medium or high support, depending on the intensity of the game. The best options combine moulded cups without underwiring, adjustable straps and seamless fabrics. You'll find sustainable and comfortable options in collections like Ecoalf Active.
4. Lightweight jacket or sweatshirt: ideal before and after your match
Body temperature matters beyond the game. Stay warm before and after the match without compromising your style.
Windbreakers, lightweight sweatshirts, or thermal vests made from recycled padding or organic cotton are perfect allies. Go for thin, breathable layers – ideal for a quick change after your game. At Ecoalf, our down-free puffers are a top choice.
5. Technical shoes: grip, cushioning, and eco-conscious design
Good shoes make all the difference on the court – and yes, there are eco-friendly options too.
Look for styles with recycled rubber soles, ergonomic insoles and breathable fabrics. At Ecoalf, our trainers are not only vegan and recycled, they also feature materials like BLOOM™, made from algae. Comfort, performance and sustainability all in one.
Tips for creating a sustainable padel outfit
