Style Inspiration for Wimbledon: What to Wear Courtside This Summer
Nothing says Wimbledon quite like a standout outfit in classic white. With its mix of elegance, tradition, and summer excitement, Wimbledon is not only a highlight of the sporting calendar but a brilliant excuse to dress up in style. Whether you're watching from Centre Court, Murray Mound, or just joining friends for strawberries and cream in the garden, your outfit should feel fresh, chic, and sun-ready. Here’s your Wimbledon wardrobe inspiration-whatever your style, we’ve got you covered.
Classic Whites: Timeless and Elegant
There’s a reason white is Wimbledon’s unofficial dress code-it’s timeless, crisp, and effortlessly sophisticated. And if you’re going for a true occasionwear moment, the Hayley Menzies Bianca Dress is the perfect starting point. Newly arrived and already stealing hearts, this beauty features a white base adorned with an oversized pink hued paisley print. With its shirt-style silhouette and luxurious fabric, it brings that elevated feel that suits the occasion perfectly.
For a more relaxed, nautical take on the white trend, Frame’s Sailor Sweater delivers easy elegance. Pair it with light blue Frame denim for a casual yet polished look that nods to tennis whites without going full-on dressy. Want to lean more into the white-out trend? Frame’s Seersucker Shirt is a smart choice. It can be styled with white jeans for a breezy, all-white ensemble or teamed with rich blue denim for a touch of contrast.
Add a Pop of Colour
If your personal style leans more playful than polished, look to Pink City Prints for a charming twist on the white theme. Their white dresses come with joyful pops of colour that add a carefree, summery vibe. The Laura Midi Dress and Pushkar Linen Dress are perfect examples-think light, airy fabrics, beautiful embroidery, and that effortlessly boho energy that works brilliantly for a day in the sun.
Want to really make a statement? Step into the spotlight in the Stella Nova Heart Printed Bow Dress. With its bold black bow blouse and sleek monochrome print, it’s giving serious main character energy. This is the kind of dress that will have heads turning as you wander the grounds or sip Pimm’s under a sun umbrella.
Not into White? No Problem.
Not everyone feels at home in white-and that’s totally okay. If you prefer colour, denim, or something that requires a little less upkeep around strawberries, there are still plenty of stylish options for your Wimbledon wardrobe.
Start with throw-on dresses that are light, breathable, and effortlessly cool. The Paige Pippa Denim Dress is a great example of understated style that still feels pulled together. Rails also offer a selection of breezy cotton dresses that keep you looking chic while staying cool under the sun. If minimalism is more your speed, Small’s linen styles strike the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication.
Prefer separates over dresses? Co-ords are a fashion-forward alternative. Rails do a fantastic range of matching tops and shorts that are as practical as they are stylish. Not only do they keep you cool, but they also give you the freedom to mix and match pieces post-Wimbledon.
Accessorise Your Look
Let’s not forget the finishing touches-they’re key to pulling your whole outfit together and staying comfortable from morning matches to evening mingling.
Start with the Muun straw bag, a chic yet practical choice that screams summer. For a sportier twist, the Naghedi woven bags are spacious enough to stash your essentials-think drinks, snacks, and a light cardigan for later in the day.
Don’t forget to pack a pair of Tkees flip flops in your bag. After hours on your feet or navigating grassy hills, your toes will thank you. And when the sun is shining (and we hope it is!), a Day Et visor or a wide-brim hat will shield you in style-especially important if you’re seated on an uncovered court or soaking up the atmosphere on Murray Mound.
Finally, no look is complete without a pair of sunglasses. Akjaerbede and Damson Madder offer cool, contemporary styles that bring the whole outfit together while protecting your eyes from the glare.
Whether you’re all about crisp whites, love a pop of colour, or just want something low-key but high impact, Wimbledon is the perfect excuse to show off your summer style. From statement dresses to easy co-ords, don’t forget to finish your look with smart, functional accessories-and you’ll be courtside ready in no time.
