Now that June's finally here, tennis fever is once again taking over the UK with Wimbledon fast approaching. While most folks are interested in the action on the court, if you’re more sartorially inclined like me, chances are you’re paying closer attention to the spectator stands. After all, it's the most well-dressed sporting event of the year. And if you’ve got the elegant tennis event coming up on your social calendar, chances are you’ve wondered what to wear to Wimbledon.
While there’s no official dress code, as famous attendee Kate Middleton has established, opting for a polished look is generally encouraged. Think sophisticated sun dresses, lightweight blazers and relaxed tailoring. Fortunately, I’ve discovered that no matter your personal taste, your Wimbledon style can be sorted with a simple scroll through fashion insider favourite brand ALIGNE. The British brand has long been a fashion editor-favourite destination for elevated, high-quality pieces that capture English elegance while still tapping into the season’s hottest trends, and its SS25 collection is brimming with preppy and polished staples that’ll ensure you look as good as the celebrities in the box.
The easiest solution to your Wimbledon dressing woes is a breezy summer dress. ALIGNE’s Rosia drop waist linen dress is the perfectly dressy take on tennis whites and it’ll work wonders styled with wedge heels and a raffia bag for a timeless look. Given the dress’ simple and unfussy design, you can experiment with stacks of bright jewellery for a vibrant summer look.
