In a matter of days, thousands of celebrities and sports fans will be making their way to south west Londonto watch athletes compete to raise the coveted Wimbledon trophy.
And while the tennis action is the main draw for most, many will be using the hallowed ground of the All England Club as their own personal catwalk, showingoff their best style for the grand summer occasion.
Last year’s tournament attracted some of the best dressed stars Wimbledon has ever seen. Among the most stylish celebrities who attended in 2024 wereNaomi Campbell, Ellie Goulding and Margot Robbie.
Meanwhile,Queen Camilla held court in the Royal Box, and the Princess of Walesmade a surprise appearance in a stunning purple dress.
But those hoping to dress their best for Wimbledon are running out of time to pick their ensembles – this year, the competition runs from Monday, June 30 to Sunday, July 13.
Players have to adhere to a slightly stricter dress code than at other slams, being instructed to wear white on court. And nowattendees can also opt for casual chic-style ensembles -Wimbledon has recently launched a sophisticated collection of court-ready looks from trendy knit skirts to chic denim jackets.
Available at wimbledon.com, the ‘Court to Club’ capsule is a curated edit designed to allow fashion lovers to move seamlessly from court-side to post-match socialising and country club style.
But while there are certain outfits on the British High Street that are guaranteed to impress guests at the London competition, there are also some ensembles attendees should shun if they have any hopes of making an impression at Wimbledon this year.
A classic summer dress
Last year Naomi Campbell looked typically stylish in a white figure-hugging summer dress, teamed with a denim jacket.
She accessorised with trendy silver sunglasses, while completing the ensemble with white sandals and a white Hermes handbag.
The look can be recreated by pairing a New Look white shirt dress with a Primark cropped denim jacket.
Chic co-ords
Maya Jama opted for a striking mix of classy and racy for the summer tournament. She flashed her toned physique in a cream knitted top and midi skirt, which she teamed with a pair of lace-up heels.
The Love Island host carried her belongings in a small white handbag and hid her eyes behind black shades while posing for snaps.
Emulate this look by wearing an earth tone co-ord or pairing a similarly coloured low-rise midi skirt with a tweed jacket, like this one at ASOS.
Asymmetric dressing
Kate Middleton showed off her stylish silhouette in a stunning purple ankle-length dress with gathered detailing.
A pair of nude leather pointed pumps were the right touch of chic for the gorgeous dress which you’ll want to snap up if you plan to dazzle onlookers like the future queen.A similar one can be found at Mango.
Smart-casual dress
A great way to turn heads at Wimbledon this year is by donning a smart-casual dress, like Ellie Goulding.
The popstar cut an elegant figure in a smart navy blue midi dress as she made her way to Centre Court. She paired them with black strappy heels.
Polka dots
Anything with polka dots is sure to make a stylish statement and have you standing out from the crowd.
Margot Robbie- who attended Wimbledon last year showing her baby bump – did just that in a maternity style black and white chiffon midi dress with added scarf detail.
Margot complemented her look with black heeled mules, a bowling bag and sunglasses as she joined husband Tom Ackerley, also 34, in the stands.

Florals
A floral dress is fitting for any summer occasion, and so was style icon Emma Weymouth’s dazzling aqua ruffled number.
The unique dress features pink and yellow petals as well as a stunning ruffled neckline. She paired the look with a pair of bright white pointed pumps.
Opt for a floor or midi length floral dress with a vibrant-coloured pattern such as this dupe at Mango.

A similar co-ord by Reiss will have you looking chic for this year’s tournament.
What not to wear at Wimbledon
While there are outfits that are set to impress anyone attending the London competition, there are also some outfits attendees should shun if they have any hopes of making an impression at Wimbledon this year.
Speaking to FEMAIL, British award-winning personal stylist Lisa Talbot says the Wimbledon dress code is all about ‘timeless elegance’ and one should aim to align their look with the ‘refined atmosphere of the event’.
‘Denim shorts, slogan T-shirts, and loud logos should also be left at home’ she added.’Think understated sophistication rather than street style.
‘Clashing prints, neon colours, and overly flashy accessories can feel out of place in the traditionally polished setting of Wimbledon. While it’s tempting to make a fashion statement, the goal should be stylish subtlety’.
She also shared a cautionary tale for fans planning to emulate celebrity style – and cited the unfortunate mishap in 2015 when Lewis Hamilton was denied entrance into the Royal Box after failing to wear a shirt and tie and instead donning a floral shirt.
‘For a fail-safe approach, channel your inner Kate Middleton; crisp tailoring, modest silhouettes, and a nod to classic British summer style’.
