What to Wear to a Tennis Match

last updated 14 August 2019

Tennis fans, this one is for you! As you're probably aware, Wimbledon—a two-weeklong, world-famous tennis tournament that attracts a bevy of celebrities and royalty to London—is already well underway. And while our eyes are naturally glued to the courts, as tennis champs, like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Rafael Nadal, play their matches, we can't help but admire the spectators—we're talking Kate and Pippa Middleton and Anna Wintour, to name a few—and their sartorial choices. Since the attendees in the stands consistently ace (pun intended) their Wimbledon ensembles, you can bet we're following suit with their smart styling choices.

Now, when it comes to piecing together a perfect tennis match outfit (for Wimbledon especially), it's all about finding a look that's chic and elegant but also practical and comfortable. A crisp white dress? Always a safe choice. A pretty floral blouse? Also a winner. A good rule of thumb to follow when deciding what to wear to a match? When in doubt, go the classic route.

Ahead we rounded up some of the best past courtside looks from a slew of famous celebrities. But that's not all. We then searched through the accounts of some of our favorite fashion girls to pick out ensembles to copy that would certainly make you the best dressed attendee at Wimbledon. Let the outfit inspiration commence!
