You’ve been treating yourself to a back-garden Pimm’s (on more weeknights than one) - and have bought a hand-held fan. Such occurrences can only mean one thing. Wimbledon. Is. Here.
Yes, the matches might be the main event, but outfit-spotting in the green stands has become a great spectator sport. And while there isn’t a strict dress code unless you’re taking a seat in the Royal Box, it’s a brilliant chance to dress up. You don’t have to go full frock-and-fascinator - this isn’t Royal Ascot - but do be warned that the cameras tend to pan around when the players are stretching or towelling themselves down so it's an opportunity to impress.
There are always familiar celebrity faces in the stands on Centre Court - and this year is no exception, with appearances so far by Golda Rosheuvel, Ikram Abdi Omar, Jodie Turner-Smith, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Yasmin Finney and Ncuti Gatwa. Keep scrolling to shop their looks now.

There's also plenty of celebrity inspiration to draw on from previous years. Keep reading for the lessons to learn before you step foot in SW19.
1. Go bright
The best way to stand out from the crowd is with a bolt-from-the-blue shade of, er, banana. The Duchess of Cambridge’s sunshine-coloured sheath dress ticked all the right boxes back in 2018.
Actor Ella Balinska also made a case for sunshine brights at a past tournament, pairing buttercup tailoring with an orange button-down and, naturally, white tennis sneakers.

2. Don't forget a cover-up
This is London. So be warned that the weather can turn at any moment. Alexa Chung’s summer knit is the perfect solution. Button over a wafty summer dress, tuck a discreet brolly in your bag and you’re good to go.

A navy blue blazer - a perfect match for the referee's uniform - is also a safe bet, especially when paired with polka dots.

Adwoa Aboah wore her version of tennis whites - jeans and a cropped cardi - with a double-breasted coat the colour of clotted cream in 2019.

3. Keep it simple
Keira Knightley's T-shirt dress, at the tournament in 2014, was a masterclass in how to do stealth chic in the stands.

Nicola Coughlan, meanwhile, proved that a simple shirt dress can easily be zhushed with some stacked black sandals.

4. Stripes are always a good idea
This is one of our favourite looks from Meghan. The striped shirt, the wide-leg trousers, the straw hat - it’s head-turningly good.
Sienna Miller is a regular in SW19, doubling-down on the classic blue-on-white stripe in 2021.

5. Don't forget tailoring
If the weather allows it, a tailored two-piece looks especially smart (and was always a favourite with Princess Diana). Billie Piper looked fantastic in this elongated shorts suit.
Could anyone look chicer than Tessa Thompson? The actor paired high-waisted white trousers with cowboy boots at the tournament in 2019, proving that the suit still has potential to look super cool.

7. Wear a white summer dress
Wimbledon has a strict dress code for its players so why not stick to the tried-and-tested theme with a white dress? Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Broderie anglaise frock was a suitably polished take at last year's tournament.
Sabrina Dhowre Elba, meanwhile, put a modern spin on the white dress at Wimbledon, wearing a more relaxed version with pistachio and powder blue accessories.
