The most prestigious tennis tournament of the Grand Slam around the corner, and if Wimbledon is part of your summer plans, we’re sure the question on your minds is what to wear to Wimbledon.

The good news is that there’s no official dress code for this sporting event (unless you’re in the royal box), but smart casual dress is encouraged. Think classic summer dresses and tailored styles, or even give a nod to the tennis players in all white.

From your shoes, clothing and accessories, our guide will help you find the perfect outfit to nail your courtside style.

The dress

Since you’ll be sitting down for most of the time, opting for a flowy dress will make sure you stay comfortable. To stay prepared for a British summer of unpredictable weather, pair your dress with a light cardigan or jacket. Including midi dresses and smock dresses, see our top picks below.

Shirts & blouses

If dresses aren’t really your thing, pair a cute blouse with wide leg trousers or tailored shorts to suit your personal style. Choose lightweight fabrics like chiffon or linen and elevate your outfit with floral patterns or frill details.

Tailored co-ords

Go all out with a sleek tailored two-piece for a touch of elegance. Make a bold fashion statement and opt for bright colours and fresh tones, that you can even mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe. Style your blazer and shorts with low block heels and a matching bag to complete the look.

Accessories

To complete your Wimbledon outfit, you can’t forget accessories. Add an extra touch to your summer dress with gold earrings or pick out a cute hair accessory like a satin bow. Finally, choose your favourite pair of sunglasses and you're ready to enjoy some tennis.
