🎾 What to Wear to Ace Wimbledon Style (Even if you're watching from the sofa)

Wimbledon is about more than just tennis. It’s strawberries and cream, lukewarm Pimms. crisp white outfits, “New balls please” and a good old-fashioned serving of British summer flair. Whether you’ve got Centre Court seats, are heading to a garden party, or simply watching from the sofa with a glass of fizz — why not get into the spirit with a little courtside-inspired style?

Here’s how to dress the part, wherever you’re watching from.


Courtside Classic: The Shirt Dress or Smart Day Dress

There’s something timeless and elegant about a shirt dress or a simple summer day dress — neat enough for an occasion, light enough for the sun. Think clean lines, fresh fabrics, and a pop of colour or subtle pattern if you fancy standing out from the sea of whites.

Style tip: Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton or linen blends, and consider midi lengths for comfort and ease. A crisp dress paired with sandals or plimsolls is effortlessly stylish.


Relaxed Refinement: Tailored Trousers & A Crisp Shirt 

For something more laid-back but still smart, try pairing wide-leg or tailored trousers with a cotton shirt or sleeveless top. It’s the sort of outfit that feels polished without being fussy — ideal if you’re watching with friends in a garden or heading to a local screening.

Style tip: Keep your colour palette light and breezy — think whites, creams, pastels, or soft prints. A straw hat or simple clutch can elevate the whole look.


The Wimbledon White: Easy Linen Layers

Wimbledon and white go hand in hand — and there’s no fabric that does crisp summer whites better than linen. Lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly elegant, white linen trousers, shirts, or tunics offer a timeless nod to classic tennis style. Layering is key: a relaxed-fit linen shirt over a vest, or a softly structured jacket over wide-leg linen trousers creates an airy, pulled-together look that’s perfect for both court-side and couch-side spectating.

Style tip: Mix textures for interest — linen with cotton, or a fine knit draped loosely over the shoulders. Keep accessories neutral or add a single pop of colour for a fresh, modern take on traditional white.


The Effortless All-In-One: Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are the ultimate in one-and-done dressing. Whether you're after something tailored and sleek or soft and floaty, a jumpsuit offers instant style with minimal effort. They’re a great alternative to dresses — just as elegant, but often a bit more unexpected. For daytime events like Wimbledon, look for breathable fabrics, wide legs, and simple necklines. Add sandals and a few accessories, and you’re good to go.

Style tip: Size up for comfort and easy elegance 


4. Footwear & Finishing Touches

Wimbledon style is all about elegance meets ease. Keep footwear practical — flat sandals, espadrilles, or smart trainers are all great choices. Accessories like a crossbody bag, straw hat, or lightweight scarf can add just the right finishing touch.

Bonus tip: If there’s a chance of showers (and let’s be honest, this is Britain), pack a lightweight raincoat or classic umbrella — the kind that folds neatly into your bag.


Wimbledon Style, Your Way

At its heart, Wimbledon style is about capturing a little bit of English summer magic. It’s a chance to wear something you feel good in — polished but relaxed, fresh but never fussy.

So even if you're watching from the sofa, pop on an outfit you love, pour a glass of something sparkling, and enjoy the moment. Game, set, style!
