Shirts and Polos Yonex: cut and material for the smash
The top of a badminton outfit should first allow shoulder movement: the smash and clear from the back of the court require a range of motion that would be restricted by a narrow sleeve or heavy fabric. The shirts and polos Yonex use a fine mesh technical polyester that pushes moisture out and dries between sets. The polo, with its collar and button placket, remains the traditional attire for clubs and is well-suited for club name branding, while the lighter round-neck shirt is popular for training. The children's versions use the same fabrics but in a looser fit.

Shorts, skorts or dresses: the bottom of the outfit
The shorts for badminton are cut short and loose around the thighs, with a flat elastic waistband that stays in place during jumps. Those from Victor, a brand established in Taipei in 1968, and the Landos from FZ Forza use a stretchy fabric that follows the front slit. Female players may prefer the skort, Yonex or Victor, which hides integrated shorts and maintains the freedom of shorts, or the Kaddie dress from FZ Forza, which is a one-piece design that prevents the top from riding up during overhead shots. The Victor pants are worn for warm-ups and taken off before the first rally.
FZ Forza, socks and clothing care
Founded in Denmark in 1990 by Mark Christiansen, FZ Forza comes from a leading nation in European badminton. The brand also offers socks Comfort sold in packs of three, thicker under the foot for cushioning landings and minimizing hot spots during repeated lunges. For care, a technical polyester washes at thirty degrees, turned inside out, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibers and hinders moisture-wicking. It then air-dries, away from heat sources, which can damage logos and club markings.

Frequently asked questions
What size badminton shirt should I choose?
Take your usual size for a fitted cut, one size up for more shoulder room. A shirt that is too loose floats and catches on the arm during a smash, while a model that is too tight limits the range of motion.
Is it necessary to play badminton in white?
No, badminton does not impose any colour for attire. Competition rules mainly govern the size of logos and inscriptions on players' clothing.
Are there badminton outfits for children?
Yes, Yonex offers children’s shirts and polos, and Victor a junior short, in the same technical fabrics as the adult models. They allow a badminton school to dress in the club’s colours.
What should I wear between matches in a tournament?
The body cools down quickly after an intense match, especially in an unheated gym. Wearing a tracksuit bottom and jacket, put on right after leaving the court, keeps the muscles warm until the next round.
Can you play badminton in a cotton t-shirt?
It's possible for casual play, but cotton retains sweat, gets heavy, and sticks to the back over time. A technical polyester t-shirt stays dry longer and weighs much less when wet.
