    What do you Wear to Play Badminton?

    February 26, 2025 5 min read

    So what clothing should you wear to play badminton? Wear short or skirt with a light synthetic sports T-shirt for Badminton. Avoid tracksuit pants and long-sleeved T-shirts since you'll want to be able to move freely. Avoid 100% cotton materials for any of these. If you're going to play a lot, invest in a pair of Badminton shoes.

Consider your personal fitness objectives to decide which workout suits you best.
