A Fashion Guide to Wimbledon
Written by Avery Charlesworth
Every summer during the last week of June following into July, one of the most well-known tennis tournaments takes place: Wimbledon. The matches are held in London, England, where British style trends take full force when it comes to looks for the 14 days. Mature and modest clothing is standard for the special occasion. Whether you are an English Royal or a student abroad, this guide is up to par for anyone attending this distinguished event!
When in doubt, wear all white. As seen in the image, Paige Lorenze, a famous tennis WAG (wives & girlfriends), exemplifies how the all white look is classy and always relevant. Being the girlfriend of famous tennis pro Tommy Paul and the founder of the Dairy Boy clothing brand, she always serves up the best outfits at tournaments like Wimbledon. A white set and clean makeup look will serve. It is effortlessly elegant, camera-ready, and perfectly in line with the tournament's timeless aesthetic. No matter where you are seated, it is a look that never misses.
Just like white, a preppy style always wins. Wimbledon attendants know that fashion is just as much of a speculation as the game on the court. Think tailored blazers, pleated skirts, and crisp button-downs- timeless pieces that fit right among the royals and the most well-known celebrities attending. Sophistication with a sporty twist is always a good way to go.
This year, polka dots and stripe patterns have a tight grip on the fashion industry. Whether it is a maxi dress, a skirt, a button-up or even accessories, a dignified take on these patterns will be a hit for this summer. These patterns add a playful yet refined touch to any ensemble, striking the perfect balance between trendy and timeless.
Overall, the simpler, the better when it comes to building your personal Wimbledon wardrobe. Tuning into the Masters Golf Tournament style trends is another great way to keep up with ideas for your day(s) at Wimbledon. Classic silhouettes, soft color palettes, and elegant accessories will always help you stand out in the best way. And remember, comfort is key, especially when you are spending the day courtside under the summer sun. Have fun planning your wardrobe and enjoy your Wimbledon experience!
