Smashing Centre Court Style

What To Wear At Wimbledon

A fruit-laden Pimms cup. Fresh strawberries + cream. The pop of the champagne cork.

It’s nearly time to enjoy the unmistakable sights, sounds and tastes of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament. And if there was ever a day to serve an outfit ace, it would be Wimbledon.

Jump (Shot) Suit

A jumpsuit is your one-piece shortcut to a full outfit, and when you factor in wide-cut legs and tailoring-inspired detailing, you’ve got the perfect dress up or down option for a day at the tennis.

Green is a hero shade in our summer palette, especially when it’s arranged into flattering vertical stripes like this cotton-twill jumpsuit. Proving black is a summer neutral, the Halterneck Jumpsuit comes in Crease-Less Linen and wide-cut legs for a balanced silhouette. The addition of viscose to this fabric makes it more resistant to creasing, while enjoying the naturally breathable qualities of linen. 

Centre-court Dresses

What makes a Wimbledon-worthy dress? A style that looks + feels just as good sitting in the stands as it does walking the grounds, and stands the test of all-day wear. Bonus points if it's in a bright shade that makes you stand out in the crowd.

You can’t go wrong with the summery palette or classic florals, and luckily, we have an abundance of styles that match up. Our signature Fit + Flare Maxi Dress is updated in Crease-Less Linen and a muted floral print, or opt for clever texture with this Shirred Midi Dress, elasticated around the bodice for a slim but stretch-infused fit. Minimal and tailored, the Navy Button Front Maxi Dress has a waistcoat-style bodice that flares into an A-line skirt for a classically flattering silhouette. Highlight the waist with the tie belt, or swap in a leather style for a custom finish. 

Match Point Tailoring

Whatever the setting, tailoring is always an ace in our eyes. But there’s something about the atmosphere at Wimbledon that makes tailoring feel even more at home, especially when it’s given a modern, effortless twist like wearing a vest top under your jacket, or swapping heels for a pair of cool flats.

Summer suiting is all about making intelligent fabric choices, so look to classic tailoring silhouettes reimagined in linen-blend fabrics for a sharp look that stands up to the heat. Consider the Icon Oversized Blazer in Navy as your ultimate summer neutral, which looks great with the matching Slim Crop Trouser or draped around the shoulders of dresses. New-season Warm Stone separates are ideal if you prefer your summer tailoring in a lighter shade. The capsule includes a mix of contemporary silhouettes like the Wrap Waistcoat, Button Front Maxi Skirt, the classic blazer and a choice of trouser shapes, so you can build your custom suit.

Tennis Whites

There are a number of complicated (and outdated) rules about why players have to wear white at Wimbledon. The short-form explanation is something about the ‘improperness’ of sweat stains in Victorian society. Point being, it’s an old tradition, but it still stands today. And while spectators aren’t held to the same dress code as the players, we must admit that there’s something crisp and smart about an all-white look.

White denim is the ultimate base for building a modern all-white look, and the Soft White Wash of our Leg Elongator Jean gives it a less-stark feel, opening the door to easy styling with other neutral tones. Striking a considered balance between top and jacket, this Broderie Shirt has a cropped length that lines up perfectly with trouser waistbands and wide-cut sleeves for added breeziness. And because nothing quite says courtside polish like a crisp white shirtdress, this midi in light, breathable seersucker is perfect.  

Game-Set-Matching Co-ords

If there’s one way to ensure an outfit ace at the tennis, it’s a co-ord. A full outfit in half the time that instantly looks considered? Sign us up.

A successful summer co-ord is all about choosing the right fabric, so think lightweight and breathable, like cotton voile or Crease-Less Linen. Both pieces of this Cinnamon Crochet Trim Top and Short set are cut to a relaxed fit, and the open-work trims add extra breathability and airflow. Not to mention, the warm neutral shade means effortless styling options. Prefer print? This cotton + silk floral co-ord includes a Peplum Top and an A-Line skirt in a green-themed palette that pairs perfectly with tonal raffia accessories like the Mini Day Bag.

Looks On The Lawn

Whether you’re enjoying The Lawn’s famous hospitality or exploring the grounds between matches, there’s always room for a more casual look at Wimbledon that still looks put-together.

Take your pick of pieces from the Crease-Less Linen capsule for an effortless co-ord or mix + match solution, such as the Soft Sculpt Waistcoat and matching Wide-Leg Trouser, or the Feminine Sleeve Blouse and matching Short. For on-demand coverage, look to the intelligent 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, crafted from lightweight cotton jersey with an optional shirt overlay. And if all else fails, you can never go wrong with a little white top. Cheesecloth, cotton + silk, voile, take your pick.

Courtside Essentials

When you’re choosing your accessories for the day, there’s a checklist of requirements to keep in mind. Hats should be sunshielding yet breathable, sunglasses must have the right level of protection, and bags must have room for the essentials, as well as the option to be hands-free for cheering (or champagne).
