Everyone may be keeping their eyes on the Paris Olympics, but in London, the sporting event on everyone’s mind is Wimbledon. Even if you’re not a huge tennis fan, you’ll certainly be familiar with this iconic summer event, if only for its low-key charm and famous strawberries and cream. .
If you’re one of the lucky ones who gets to see the event in person, you’re probably in the process of trying to figure out what to wear. Although Wimbledon has no official dress code for spectators—other than a ban on wearing ripped jeans, accented sneakers, or athletic shorts—the tournament famous attendeesFrom Kate Middleton to Alexa Chung to Nicola Coughlan, everyone confirms that this is the place to help you show off your best fashion style.
So let’s get into the details. In general, you want to think “smart casual.” Which means I usually try to avoid it Jeans and shorts, and aim for ease Dresses and separate. You also don’t want to attend a glamorous party – this is not the place to wear your evening gown or your jeweled mini dress. The good news is that the styles you’re best suited to wearing to Wimbledon are likely to be pieces you’ll happily wear again and again.
Another important factor is comfort. You’ll be there all day and probably have to get up a few times, so shoes you’ll happily spend hours in are key, whether they’re trendy ballet flats or heeled sandals. short. Then, consider the material of your outfit—cotton and linen is perfect for spending a long day outside, but throwing a light sweater or blazer over your shoulders will ensure you’re prepared for whatever the London weather throws at you.
