What happens on court at Wimbledon is big news. But there’s just as much to see in the stands, too. Here you’ll find royalty, celebrities and tennis super-fans galore, all bringing their own unique style to the occasion.
Of course, Wimbledon’s fashion picks are dictated by two things: waiting and the weather. There’s a lot of hanging around at Wimbledon, so outfits need to be comfortable and practical. And with the potential to see every season over the course of one match, layering is key.
So, with the countdown to Wimbledon 2023 well underway, we’ve put together some of our top tennis fashion picks for you to enjoy. They’ll look great at any summer event (sporting or otherwise).
Signature Colours
If you like to play by the rules, why not style your outfit in line with the tournament’s official colours of green and purple? Keep things simple by adding a green shoulder bag here, or a pair of purple-rimmed sunglasses there. Or, go all out with a feminine, flirty lilac dress – like the Enora Sweetheart Midi Dress by French Connection. With its spaghetti straps and side split, it’s perfect for a day of Pimm’s-drinking and strawberry-eating.
Preppy style
If ever there was a time to try out a spot of tenniscore, Wimbledon season is it. This is your chance to get up close and personal with tennis fashion royalty – think Lacoste, Fred Perry. These classic British brands exude a preppy, varsity style – from Oxford shirts and chinos, to striped dresses and knitwear. For instantly recognisable style reimagined, try this Twin Tipped Short Sleeved Polo by Fred Perry. With oodles of court to street appeal, it epitomises the crisp, clean styling of tennis-whites.
Summer Suit
When it comes to Wimbledon style, a versatile summer suit is another big hitter. Whether you go for a trouser or shorts suit, it can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. A tailored jacket will elevate your look, while a boxy style will give off more relaxed bassline vibes.
Opt for bold citrus colours to channel the sunshine or go for neutrals for effortless elegance. Pair with a lightweight cami, low heels and your favourite jewellery.
Go Bold
The best way to stand out from the crowd? Step out in a bolt-from-the-blue shade. The colour is up to you: citrusy lime, fiery magenta or deep crocus are hard-hitters this season. And quite frankly, the bolder the better.
But don’t worry if bright colours aren’t your thing. You can still style this trend and stay well within your comfort zone. Pick one statement piece – like the Mairas Printed Satchel Crossbody Bag by Ted Baker to add a bold floral display to any ‘fit.
Midi Dress
Another summer’s day, another midi dress… Because who doesn’t love a midi dress when the sun is shining? It’s got to be one the simplest ways to ace the centre court look this season. Step out in style with florals, polka dots or stripes. Whether you wear your midi with a pair of sandals and cardi for a pared-back look, or elevate it with heels and statement jewellery, the ball is in your court.
