There are very few sporting events that perfectly balance edge-of-your-seat action with excellent fashion moments. Wimbledon, however, does it all. If you managed to pry your eyes from the courts for just a few moments this year to play who's-who in the crowds, you'll have spotted some truly great looks that will inspire your summer wardrobe.
Thanks to Sienna Miller's linen suit, Nicola Coughlan's ethereal white midi and Lily James' striped co-ord with an oversized blazer, we now have plenty of outfits we can recreate. Helpfully, there's one place you can find all the pieces you need to nail the Wimbledon-inspired looks which will refresh your wardrobe. Enter: Free People
The brand's expansive offering includes lightweight linen separates, wear-everywhere denim and breezy summer dresses, all perfect for summer events of every description. Whether you make like Alexa Chung and dress your jeans up with a classic shirt and heels or turn to tailoring, à la Emma Corrin and Rachel Weisz, there are affordable pieces to make life that bit easier.
Free People is so versatile, it even dressed players on the Wimbledon court this year. Thanks to a sponsorship deal with Sloane Stephens through its FP Movement range, Free People's brilliant activewear could be seen in all its glory. And Stephens doesn't just wear FP for play, she's also a fan of the label's clothes off the court as well.
So, whether you're coveting a linen suit for a friend's wedding, searching for the perfect summer dress or getting ready for a morning playing actual tennis, we're sure these picks will help you serve sophistication and functionality with ease.
