Between sporty sophistication and summer elegance, tennis tournaments aren’t just played on the court. In the stands, too, every look is a well-placed shot. Focus on the ideal wardrobe for attending a match in style, from Wimbledon to Roland Garros.
When it’s Wimbledon time, all eyes aren’t just on the yellow ball. On the court, of course, every shot is carefully calculated. But in the stands, too, the spectacle is very real. Each of the major Grand Slam tournaments, from the hushed elegance of Wimbledon’s grass courts to the casual chic of Roland Garros’ clay courts and the sun-drenched stands of the US Open and Australian Open, becomes a chic interlude. They are as much sporting events as social occasions, where style is part of the ritual.
Attending a tennis match has never been a trivial gesture. It is a suspended moment of summer, a social occasion, a break where we celebrate both sport and the art of dressing well.
At Wimbledon, the temple of English classicism, the dress code is well established: natural linen dresses, pastel colors, panama hats, and suede loafers make up a very British crowd, where the white of the players inspires the spectators’ wardrobe. Sobriety and elegance reign supreme, with a touch of nostalgia for the decades when tennis was synonymous with ties.
At Roland Garros, the atmosphere is different but just as stylish. Less stuffy, more Parisian. Here, the dress code flirts with nonchalance: fine-striped midi dresses, wide cream cotton pants, oversized blazers over white T-shirts, and sunglasses with graphic frames. Wicker baskets sit alongside Hermès clutches. We’re here for the match, of course, but also for the look.
Across the seas, whether in New York for the US Open or Melbourne for the Australian Open, the energy is sunnier, the colors brighter. But everywhere, one thing remains the same: outfits must be as elegant as they are comfortable. Because staying stylish in 30-degree heat or torrential rain, while tackling stairs, queues and long hours of sitting, is a challenge. Breathable fabrics, lightweight cuts and carefully considered details: this is the smart and sophisticated wardrobe that anticipates without ever sacrificing style.
In the stands, elegance is not ostentatious, it is subtle. It can be found in a neatly tied scarf, a dress that flutters in the wind, or a discreet watch on the wrist. It accompanies every serve with an aesthetic sigh. And sometimes, it almost steals the show from the match itself.
Because in the open-air theater that is a tennis tournament, fashion plays its own set. It expresses the art of living, a love of detail, and the importance of celebrating great moments with panache. In short, it is the other winner of the tournament.
