What To Wear To Wimbledon

Keep cool yet polished in summer tailoring. Reach for relaxed silhouettes in lightweight fabrics such as linen, and slip a simple tank underneath to give you the option of removing your jacket in the midday heat. Nod to a 1950’s sporting aesthetic with Prada’s wired tortoiseshell sunglasses.

The Wimbledon look is crisp rather than romantic, so when opting for a white dress, reach for a structured silhouette such as a shirt dress. Raffia accessories feel suitably summery – if you’re going to be on your feet a lot, consider slipping into flats. Add a silk scarf for a pop of colour.

Unless you’re seated in the Royal Box, above-the-knee hemlines are allowed through the gates and make for a playful spin on event dressing. Go for a simple, clean shape and style it with sleek black accessories. A spacious woven tote will come in handy for carrying water and SPF.

Head to the stands with an elegant swish by opting for a cotton midi skirt. Up the preppy factor with a striped button-down and pair of aviator sunglasses. The perfect finishing touch? A tennis necklace, naturally.

When it comes to event dressing, a co-ord is always a smart choice as you can break the set up and style it separately for subsequent occasions throughout the season. On the hottest of days a waistcoat is airy yet smart. Just add a luxe basket bag to complete the look.

While the official colours of Wimbledon are white, green and purple, a hint of strawberry – in a glass of Pimm’s or with a drizzle of cream – never goes amiss. Go top to toe in a linen dress and matching sandals, using pops of black to temper the bright tone.
