Whether you’re watching the action on Centre Court, on the green or in a Wimbledon Village pub, deciding what to wear to Wimbledon can be a challenging game. Hel and Mel’s tennis-tastic style guide will help you ace your look!
Wimbledon Whites
While it’s only the players that need to wear white, it’s a long-standing tradition for spectators to follow suit. White cotton dresses and tailored white suits are not only a great way to stay (and look) cool in the sunshine, they’re also a trending favourite among the A-List audience on Centre Court. Keeping it classic and chic: this is Wimbledon, not Love Island. We love this sweet broderie anglaise summer dress and off-white two-piece…
Cotton Broderie Fit & Flare Dress, £149, The White Company
Ross Trousers, £190; Riley Jacket, £295; both BA&SH
Feminine Frocks
Floaty maxi and midi dresses are an effortlessly cool and comfortable solution. Think English garden party with whimsical florals in soft pastels, or inject a modern twist with a pop of colour and a geometric pattern.

Mix & Match Star Print White Midi Dress, £75, Oliver Bonas
Heads Up
What’s more iconic at Wimbledon than a stylish straw hat? Channel Lady Wimbledon, keep your cool and look striking while protecting yourself from the sun – hats are the the perfectly light accessory to shade your Pimm’s under!
White Double Ring Trim Straw Hat, £16, River Island
Curve Crown Flat Brim Natural Straw Hat, £18, ASOS
Keep The Rays At Bay
Chic sunglasses are key to nailing the look, so leave last year’s Aviators at home and pick up a pair of this summer’s hottest eyewear trends. Look out for black lenses and uniquely shaped, retro-feel frames: there are so many amazing styles to choose from, but we love over-sized, cats-eyes, triangle and heart shapes – check out these amazing Cartier shades, or if budget is tight, these pretty pastel pink peeper protectors…
D-frame acetate sunglasses, £495, Cartier Eyewear at Net-A-Porter.com
Tyla Teardrop Sunglasses, £15, Accessorize
Fancy Footwork
Long Wimbledon days involve a lot of fancy footwork, even off-court: comfy wedged espadrilles or trainers are a good way to go if you don’t fancy wearing heels. Stay stylish on the run between courts with a pair of fabulous Air & Grace sneakers. Kate and Meghan have been breaking protocol in their ‘casual’ wedge heels this summer so be sure to join the game and score a fashion ace with this look…
Carina Wedge Espadrilles, £130, Castaner
Cru Signature White, Silver & Gold Trainers, £159, Air & Grace
