How Tennis is Inspiring Our Looks
We have seen a shift in tennis fashion history this year. Not only has Wimbledon relaxed its rules on undershorts, allowing them to be dark-coloured, but we have seen high-end fashion brands such as Gucci take on centre court for the first time in tennis fashion history. Wimbledon itself is taking a closer look at fashion via its new Vlog Wimbledon Threads presented by Tennis Star Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle and is on the look-out for the perfect tennis look.
Whether you’re looking for the an on-court style or a spectator style, this year’s tennis season is buzzing with variations on the pleated skirt and the polo-neck. The royal box is a great source of inspiration for spectator style. From Sienna Miller and Emma Corin to Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly, we have front row tickets to the most stylish sporting event of the year.
But for those who want to mirror the look on the court, there are many brands that cater for tennis attire. For example Ralph Lauren, which released its Wimbledon x Ralph Lauren capsule collection this year, is taking on the all-white dress code with outfits for men and women. You can even purchase some of the uniform that the on-court officials wear during the matches.
Hot and new on court this year is Gucci who has created its own tennis pieces in its activewear range. It daringly challenged the all-white dress code with its duffel bag in the hands of tennis pro Jannik Sinner.
Lacoste is another go-to brand for the ultimate tennis look. Novak Djokovic has been seen playing in Lacoste for many years. Players are known for their on-court style and we want to be imitating this too.
Hear it from the pro herself: World number 1 Venus Williams knows best and has brought a mix of athleticism and fashion to Wimbledon for years.
