How to build a Tennis-inspired wardrobe?

As the world’s most iconic tennis tournament plays out on the pristine lawns of Wimbledon, the style stakes off the court are just as high. Think vintage polos, structured skorts, sporty knits, and crisp whites that channel just enough athleticism without ever breaking a sweat. Whether you’re courtside with strawberries and cream or just love a clean, tailored aesthetic with a retro twist, here’s how to ace the tennis-inspired wardrobe.

Ace the All-Whites

Whether it’s a pleated skirt or a ribbed tank, crisp whites are non-negotiable. Wimbledon may have rules, but fashion’s loving the freedom of minimalist cool.

Club Jackets FTW

A boxy tennis sweater or a varsity-style jacket adds the perfect layer for breezy evenings. It looks like a warm-up, but feels like a flex.

Tote-ally Functional

Opt for sleek crossbodies or structured totes that say “off-duty pro” not “gym bag chaos.” Think crisp canvas, muted tones, and gold hardware.
