For two weeks every summer, the world’s attention turns to Centre Court.

There are the thrilling rallies, dramatic upsets and strawberries and cream. But there’s something else Wimbledon quietly delivers every year: a masterclass in effortless summer style.

Unlike many fashion trends that appear overnight and disappear just as quickly, Wimbledon-inspired dressing has stood the test of time. Clean lines, crisp whites and timeless tailoring never really go out of fashion. They simply make a comeback every summer.

This year, “tenniscore” is once again one of the biggest trends of the season.

Why tennis style works

The beauty of tennis-inspired fashion is its simplicity. A white linen shirt. A pleated skirt. Smart tailored shorts. A knitted polo. White trainers. A lightweight cardigan draped over your shoulders.

None of these pieces are particularly new, but together they create a look that’s polished without trying too hard. It’s relaxed enough for a weekend lunch, smart enough for the office and perfect for holidays.

White is always in style

Wimbledon has long been associated with white, thanks to the tournament’s famous all-white dress code for players. That influence extends far beyond the courts. White dresses, cotton shirts and summer blazers become Wimbledon wardrobe staples year after year because they look fresh, feel cool and pair with almost anything.

If head-to-toe white feels a little daunting, try introducing one statement piece instead. A crisp white shirt or tailored trousers can instantly lift an outfit.

What the celebs are wearing at Wimbledon

Wimbledon has become almost as famous for its spectators as its tennis. Every summer, the Centre Court fills with actors, musicians, sports stars and fashion icons, all embracing a dress code that feels smart, elegant and unmistakably British.

No one captures Wimbledon style quite like the Princess of Wales. A regular at the Championships and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate has built a reputation for polished tailoring, midi dresses and timeless accessories. Some of her most memorable Wimbledon looks include a sunshine-yellow Roksanda dress at the 2022 Ladies’ Final, which she also wore more recently at Royal Ascot, and a navy polka-dot dress by Alessandra Rich.

Sienna Miller has become synonymous with relaxed Wimbledon glamour, mixing crisp white separates with soft tailoring and understated accessories. Nicole Kidman has opted for beautifully cut cream suiting, while Keira Knightley regularly champions elegant monochrome looks.
