What to Wear to Wimbledon? 5 Winning Outfit Ideas to Try

Within the world of Grand Slams, Wimbledon is the creme de la creme. Not only is this prestigious tennis tournament the oldest in the world, it’s also famous for its traditions, including an all-white dress code for players and rare grass courts. To state the obvious: the chance to attend Wimbledon crowns every tennis fan’s bucket list. And if you’re lucky enough to snag a ticket, an outfit worthy of the elegant environs is in order.

There is no official dress code for spectators at Wimbledon, but the crowd tends to adopt smart casual attire, and skews more formal than other tournaments such as the U.S. Open. Sun dresses, linen tailoring, and refined summery separates are on regular rotation for attendees, and accessories like hats and sunglasses that provide protection from the sun are paramount (particularly in the current heat wave).

Looking to Wimbledon regulars like Sienna Miller, Alexa Chung, and Catherine, Princess of Wales for inspiration—and pulling from the season’s most coveted new shopping arrivals—continue below for five winning outfits to wear to Wimbledon from now until the closing final on July 12.

The Warm Weather Floral

Gear up for a sunny day at the courts with an airy floral dress and summer accessories, like a woven clutch and strappy sandals. Finish the look with delicate jewelry and a can of thermal spring water to keep you nice and breezy throughout the tournament.

The Preppy Uniform

Channel the players with this preppy take on the all-white dress code. Layer this vest from Ralph Lauren’s exclusive Wimbledon collaboration over a white tee and tonal jeans. To polish off the look, reach for loafers and a raffia bag.

The Romantic Detailing

A cotton tank and leather flip flops will undoubtedly keep you comfortable all day long, but this exquisite mint green skirt takes everything up a notch. Complement the pairing with gold jewelry and a mesh bag, plus a stylish hand fan.

The Breathable Matching Set

Channel the royal box regulars with this ladylike matching set. Accessorize the blouse and skirt with a cream shoulder bag and raffia wedges, and pop this easy-to-use film camera in your bag to capture memories from the day.

The Henman Hill Crowd

For those queueing for ground tickets and viewing from Henman Hill, a relaxed look that channels the tournament’s preppy spirit is a fine approach. This Lacoste cap is both on theme and weather appropriate, while a striped tee with long shorts and flat sandals will translate seamlessly to the laidback surroundings.
