Wimbledon has long been as much a fashion event as a sporting one. While the action on Centre Court may take centre stage, the tournament is also known for its elegant dress code, with spectators embracing crisp tailoring, breezy linen, feminine florals and a palette of soft neutrals. It is one of the few occasions where classic British summer style truly comes into its own.
The beauty of Wimbledon dressing is that you can show personality while still looking stylish, be it with a chic midi dress, a well-cut co-ord or a lightweight blazer thrown over a simple outfit. Whether you are heading to SW19 or simply taking inspiration from the courtside style, these are the high street pieces serving up Wimbledon-worthy fashion without the designer price tags.
