Mounds of fresh strawberries, mountains of cream, the pop of a champagne bottle, and the satisfying crack as the seal on a bottle of Pimms is broken signal one unequivocal truth: Wimbledon is upon us. 
 

For those of us who don’t often frequent Henman Hill during those two weeks in June and July, the idea of what to wear can be daunting. The good - or potentially bad - news is that there’s no official Wimbledon dress code.

That being said, we’ve curated our own hit-list of pieces that ace Wimbledon outfits when you’re in SW19.

Tennis Whites
 

The only official (wardrobe-related) handbook attributed to a day at Wimbledon is assigned to the players. White is the shade du jour - a tough competitor with the grassy courts.

While the players competing for a pineapple-topped trophy or The Venus Rosewater Dish wear white by duty, this approach has its part to play in spectators’ outfit choices too. An antidote to rising temperatures, the shade keeps you cool when the final set approaches and nerves are running high, while white women’s jumpsuits, tops, pants, and dresses keep you covered should the weather change for the worse.

Keeping you both cool and comfortable throughout the day, our Bouclé Graphic Midi Dress + Belt is detailed with a striking contrasting side stripe and a removable belt to switch between a defined and more relaxed silhouette. Add a pair of heeled sandals into the mix before settling into your seat and pull your look together with either a tailored blazer or cropped denim jacket for a more casual sign-off. In your sights are set on a shorter cut, our Embroidered Cotton Short Swing Dress heroes an above-the-knee length but is topped with long sleeves to create coverage and perfect a Wimbledon-bound look in one step.

A 21st-century take on tennis whites comes in the guise of off-white tonal dressing that partners fresh-white shades with creamy hues for a subtly multi-dimensional look. With contrasting balloon sleeves intricately embroidered with floral motifs, our Cotton Embroidered Mixed-Media Swing Top adds a subtle contrast to our Adjustable Waist Pleat Front Jean that is pressed with pleats through the leg for definition.

Colorful Advantage
 

Swap subtlety and a pared-back polish for women’s dresses in statement colors that stand out from the crowds.

Think of bold confident colors as the sartorial equivalent of Wimbledon’s Rufus (the hawk deployed to keep birds at bay throughout play) to metaphorically keep away the clouds. If needed, these can also be tempered with more casual accessories - think flat leather sandals or cross-body bags that keep you comfortable if you’re trying your luck in the queues.

Celebrating saturated shades of purple and burnt orange respectively, our Silk Statement V-Neck Maxi Dress + Belt, Fashioned Rib Halterneck Maxi Dress, and Smart Maxi Shirt Dress + Belt are anything but shy and feature flattering design details that keep you comfortable and add intrigue to your look - from adjustable necklines to removable belts that highlight your waist.

At the other end of the spectrum, our Silk Delicate Bloom Print Floor-Length Dress champions a floral pattern that brings together a combination of cream, poppy red, and green. Marrying a sense of frivolity with a sophisticated finish, its long sleeves fall to fitted cuffs while gathered details soften the neat bodice and fitted waist.

Game-Set-Matching Co-Ords
 

A harmonious double-act sees both exuberant florals come together to create our versatile co-ords.

Featuring a soft blend of cream and black, our Summer Bouclé Skirt Co-ord combines a sleeveless vest with a comfortable maxi skirt topped with an elasticated waistband to add textural depth to your look that can be grounded by dark accessories like our Velcro Footbed Sandal.

Center-Court Suits
 

While it might have been the custom for men to sport suits at Wimbledon for centuries, in the last decade, women have been borrowing from the boys by swapping dresses for women’s blazers and their matching pants when it’s the capital’s turn to host its Grand Slam. Serving a whole host of sartorial possibilities, these pieces champion everything from pristine whites to soft pastels and deep, saturated hues.

A subtle nod to traditional suiting, our Summer Tux Track Pant Suit combines a single-breasted blazer and track pant that pays fashionable tribute to the sportswear on the court. Alternatively, opt for a pattern-free approach with our Mini Bouclé Short Co-ord and Cotton Summer Bouclé Vest. In soft cream, the pieces introduce a covetable tactility to a classic warm-weather look while reinventing a three-piece suit that complements casual round-neck tees with just as much elan as button-up shirts.

Laid-Back Lawn Style
 

While occasionwear might play a central role in Wimbledon style, there’s still a lot to be said for sporting casual pieces with more elevated separates to create a laid-back (but just as considered) ensemble.

Strike the balance with jeans and decorative women’s blouses or smart shirting - our Adjustable Waist Pleat Front Jean in white features an adjustable waistband to eliminate gaping and is shaped to a dramatic wide-leg silhouette that can hold its own with an ornate top like our Silk Cotton Delicate Bloom Print Blouse. Switch up your approach by pairing more casual tops with smarter women’s pants. We tucked our Cotton Short Sleeve Sweatshirt Top into our High-Waisted Pleated Wide-Leg Pant or introduce another texture to your look by teaming our Chunky Cotton Jacquard Cropped Vest with a tailored pant.
