Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
Floral-printed waistband sits high, pockets are cut for tennis balls, UPF 50+ protection is stitched throughout — ACEGOLFS lists no fibre breakdown for this print and I cannot fabricate one. My itinerary for wearing it across New York begins, naturally, at the bagel cart.
ACEGOLFS Floral High Waisted Women's Tennis Skirt: This lobby is so Art Deco I expect the elevator to plate my appetizer; Edward Trumbull’s ceiling mural, Transport and Human Endeavor, celebrates machines, builders, and motion like a kitchen brigade at the dinner rush. The red Moroccan marble is basically the building’s paprika.
ACEGOLFS Floral High Waisted Women's Tennis Skirt: Stand under these Guastavino tile arches and a whisper travels corner to corner, which is dangerous if you are trying to secretly ask where the Oyster Bar is. Grand Central Terminal opened in 1913, and frankly I would have arrived hungry then too.
ACEGOLFS Floral High Waisted Women's Tennis Skirt: The Rose Main Reading Room runs nearly two city blocks, which is just long enough to work up an appetite between encyclopedias. Those painted clouds overhead make studying feel like proofing pastry under a perfect sky.
ACEGOLFS Floral High Waisted Women's Tennis Skirt: The Angel of the Waters was designed by Emma Stebbins, the first woman to receive a public art commission in New York City, and she stands above a fountain tied to the Croton water system. Clean water is the secret ingredient; without it, no soup, no coffee, no civilized tennis break.
Let me be honest with you before we go a step further, because I have never respected a menu that lies. This skirt has a very short ingredient list and half of it is written in a hand nobody will let me read. ACEGOLFS does not publish a fibre breakdown for the floral high-waisted skirt, and I could not get one out of them.
So I am not going to lay parsley over the plate and tell you it is a sauce. Here is what is true, and the true part is enough.
The band sits up where it will not travel when you do, the way a good apron ties above the hip and stays tied through a full dinner service. There are pockets cut for tennis balls, so you are not serving with a fist full of felt.
It is high-waisted, and that is the whole argument for it.
It wicks, and it carries the brand's sun protection, which on a hard court in July is not a slogan, it is shade you are wearing. Across the ACEGOLFS skort line the cloth is a silky performance weave rated UPF 50+, the hems are cut at sixteen and at nineteen inches depending on the style, and the sizes run XS through XXL.
Which of those two lengths belongs to this floral print, I cannot tell you. I would rather leave the blank than fill it with a guess and have you find out on court.
New York, then, and I warn you now that I plan the day around where we eat. Start in the lobby of the Chrysler Building, where the marble is a deep red Moroccan stone the exact colour of good bresaola, and the ceiling is a mural of machines and the men who built them, which is the closest thing this city has to a painting of a kitchen at full tilt.
Walk to Grand Central and stand in the Whispering Gallery under the tiled Guastavino vaults, where a word spoken into one corner arrives dry and whole in the other, and where, not by accident, the oyster bar sits directly behind you.
Then the Rose Reading Room at the library, two blocks long under painted clouds, holding more recipes than any building on earth and behaving as though that were an ordinary fact.
Finish at Bethesda Terrace, the Angel of the Waters over her basin, which is where you sit down, where you unpack whatever you carried from the market, and where a skirt that has dried on the walk over earns everything it cost you.
"Anything that dries on the walk between is a garment that lets you stay for the second course."
That is the test I run on clothes and on restaurants, and this one passes.
