Tennis has long been the favorite sport of the upper crust, what with the country club lifestyle’s aspirational allure serving as the perfect inspiration for luxury brands like Hermes and Ralph Lauren. It should come as no surprise then that the world’s top fashion tastemakers have flocked to the tournament scenes over the years, adding an air of chic runway perfection to the clay courts. Sure, there are a handful of highly competitive tournaments to spark our sartorial interest throughout the season, but with its exclusive all-white dress code, Wimbledon is definitely the reigning champ!
Of course, athletes like the Williams sisters and Andre Agassi have been bringing their fashion flair to the courts for a number of seasons now; lighting up arena with custom outfits, crazy colors, and bold designs that have shocked the tennis community and fashion world alike. But in a time when dress codes seem to have been thrown out the window and even the craziest mix-matched attire is no longer considered out of bounds, we’ve learned to appreciate Wimbledon’s commitment to the longstanding (and impossibly chic) history of tennis club attire. After all, in a season awash with glaring neon pieces and futuristic digital prints, there is just something so refreshing about an all-white tennis dress in a cool cotton pique, or a crisp pleated skirt to cleanse our fashion palettes.

Striking a balance feminine prep and conditioned athlete, these all-white tennis looks equate to summer style perfection.
