With the 2023 Wimbledon Championships nearing its end, it means that now is high time that we revamped our wardrobes to ensure that top looks are served — both from the baseline and beyond the sidelines (as is former British No.1 Emma Raducanu), whilst combatting the scorching July heat.
This year, as per usual, the all-white outfits showcased at sunny Wimbledon have been nothing short of spectacular, seamlessly blending together utility and style. With the sheer amount of cutting-edge fashion inspiration hurled at us in the whirlwind of a fortnight, we are once again left with big shoes to fill!
From the iconic white and green pleated skirt to bright funky pieces, here is a selection of tennis wear from the latest collections for you to infinitely up your game and spice up your summer wardrobe.
Mix And Match
To curate the perfect summer tennis look both in terms of style and comfort, a meticulous mix-and-match of breathable, sweat-wicking tops and bottoms is essential. Here are a variety of pieces ranging from the classic staple: minimalist short-sleeved polos from Polo Ralph Lauren, to a matching fluorescent set from Lululemon for those who wish to flaunt their sun-kissed complexions. As the concept of bold femininity takes center stage this summer, now is the time to lace the action-packed courts with fierce elegance with selected pastel pieces from Sweaty Betty and Tory Sport.

Outerwear
Speaking of storms, outerwear is an indispensable asset to tackle the spontaneous showers of Hong Kong’s monsoon season, and even the soft breeze that pervades as soon as the sun descends into slumber. Have in your tennis bag at all times the waist-cinching Mist Over Windbreaker from Lululemon, or the Pack Away Jacket from Sweaty Betty — you will not regret this! Heading out for a post-dinner hit? Top your outfit off with a V-neck cable knit or a light wool sweater from L’Etoile Sport to dodge the chills.
Dresses
If you find yourself in a fashion conundrum, opt for a dress — the choice that weaves together chicness and convenience! To maximise your chances of acing the game whilst keeping your glamour fresh, go for the mesh-centered Nike dress as seen on Victoria Azarenka, equipped with built-in shorts to ensure full coverage. If you wish to embody the old money aesthetic that has taken the world of fashion by storm this year, the pleated sleeveless dress from Thom Browne featuring the iconic RWB stripe down the back, or perhaps the white square-neck dress with bright green cross-stitching from Bottega Veneta might be the one for you.
Accessories
Complete your tennis outfit with accessories: the cherry on top! How about adorning your racket with the tennis racket carrier from Stoney Clover Lane in the striking shade of bubblegum pink? Secure all your belongings in the See by Chloé embroidered tote that will watch you in the shade as you show off your showstopping top spin. Keep a close watch on the ball; shield your eyes from the dazzling sun with the retro-inspired Dior visor. You might even want to pamper yourself with the exclusive star-stamped racket and white tennis balls from the Saint Laurent and Wilson collaboration!
